it is just that it is off road diesel and you can not "legally" run it in a vehicle that is a registered highway vehicle. The off road fuel does not have a road tax on it and is dyed so that they can tell if you are running it on a highway vehicle

off road diesel is just what it says. it is fuel that is intended for off road use only. it is against the law to run it in a on road vehicle. it is dyed red

Why companies run it is beyond me. Run clear and you can write it off on taxes.

Just do as i do and run home heating oil. Buy a big *** used oil tank and order it to your home. It's around 80 cents/L. You'll also get better mileage because of the extra sodium sulfites they put in. LOL, just don't try and pass air care running it. It smokes like a bitch!

Off Road diesel is for hardcore off roaders with big tires and lift kits, just kidding it's just not taxed therefore they don't want vehicles running it to be on the roads where fuel taxes help pay for them
