Just curios as to why it would matter with 2 stroke since its not a red dye and is not an issue of road tax. You wanna hide it run old motor oil, turns it all black

Ive had some 2 stroke oil b4 that was red. and I've had some black and some green. I would doubt the red would have snuff strength to tint a tank full to look red

***? who would pull you over? The police could care less and if it was a DOT person trying to pull anyone around here over we would just mash it to the floor. I run ATF and whatever cheap oil i can find to save my P pump and sometimes the fuel does turn red, but no one cares and no one would dare to dip a tank around here. You east coast guys put up with alot of goverment, when I lived back east they tried to inspect my truck- they said there was rust... well yeah they salt the roads then get angery that my coil spring towers are rusted.... i sent the reg back home and solved that issue and moved back asap. no sillyness to deal with anymore

I live in the midwest, farm actions are popular places to get dipped. I have been dipped at choke point before.

Here in Tx, rodeos are a favorite dipping ground. I keep my receipts pushed into the drivers door pocket, jet in case anyone ever wants to ask. Once every year or so I toss out the yellowed ones.

Got dipped twice in NORCAL. No problem. I was pulling a fiver and they still dipped me. Fuel theft from farm tanks is one reason.

Come on down here and mash on it when our DOT wants to pull you over. But let me know first cuz i love to watch car chases and shoot outs, since ours carry guns

It has always be a form of the Department of Revenue(state Level) that has been involved. If you just pull over and are nice its no issue. I run legal so I could care less

Mash it around here, with all the drug smuggling we have, you will get your truck back in a couple of thousand pieces ( could have used a dog but since you ran......demo is more fun.......they don't put it back together for you either) You will get a nice cavity search, and a night in a free hotel. So run .....run.

Yeah, I'd sure like to see one of those hemi chargers that the some of the troopers have in a car truck chase. haha

The MDOT transportation enforcement guys have new suburbans. Some also have dogs so after the truck gets stopped/wrecked they can have dinner on your rear end.
