I was wondering what kind of "FARM" truck has "dual 5" bullhauler stacks"...

 

I ran a lot of red in my truck durrin the hurricanes, and yes it was legal it was all you could get and I was puttin about 1,000 miles a month on my truck so I ran a lot of it. No problems here.

Also FWIW, we had a guy get caught that works for us and it was $1,000. No per gallon fees or anything else, just a grand.

 

suposively the first fine here is 1k!! I have ran it before....

 

i have ran it in my 06 since new and it has 52k and no probs yet. almost every tank is red except when i am out of town, its hard to find

 

I don't even run red in my tractor. It is normaly not as fresh and very easy to get some with water so I just run on road diesel in my tractor. Not to mention it is a pain to get around here. Only place that sells it is not open on Saturday.

 

Well the government doesn't seem to mind spending our taxes and soical security on their FAT retirement incomes.

 

That is correct D-Roc "The Rock" is Newfoundland, Canada. In reference to my other posts my father lives in Alberta. Farm diesel is dyed purple and the same thing goes up here. DOT can spot check anyone, anytime, anywhere and for any reason. If you are found to be running purple diesel or gas for that matter without having farm plates then you are given a court apperance notice first thing and then the judge will determine your fine.

 

i live in new mexico and i buy red diesel 10000 gallons at a time they bring it to me clear and put a diey pack in my tank to make it red i have been checked in my trucks a couple of times here they charge you buy the size of fuel tank it comes out of so iam told i hope to never find out lately its only been saving me about 60cents a gallon but i have to buy a truck load they bring me 7800-8800 gallons at time in a truck my big tank holds 10000

 

My truck has never seen otr fuel. It runs on all red fuel and ive had it for a year now and no problem and in my 04 i had for two years it never hurt anything and been pulled over by dot with red in my tank and my aux tank with no farm tags and never said a word.

 

I once was checked right off I-35 at the Texas-Oklahoma border for the red dye in my tank. Only once in 8 years and 185,000 miles on two Dodge trucks with Cummins engines.
A few years ago while having my 2000 serviced at Cummins Southern Plains, the service writer/mechanic told me that off road diesel did not have the additives that No. 2 fuel does and it would shorten the life of the VP44 on the truck.
I've been told here on this forum that there is no difference between the two. But there are differences in fuel between different areas, all depending on the bulk fuel distributors. They are the ones that put in the additives.
In rural Oklahoma lots of ranchers/farmers run off road diesel in their trucks all the time. But I really don't want to take the chance of a large fine or damage to my fuel system.
