Red fuel is better for the enigine, never heard of any farm tractors blowing up from bad fuel. The new diesel fuel is absolutly horible.

 

Its the same exact fuel no diff, My buddy works for a refinery, road fuel in two diff tanks, and one tank gets the red and one doesnt. So farm fuel is the same, if you run the red make sure you add the lub cuz its as dry as the green

 

Exactly!

 

our truck was not registered for years 95 12 valve and all it saw was red fuel.....never a problem now its registered with farm plates so we have to run road fuel....only difference is exhaust smell... and the red was higher sulfur but this was all before ULSD

 

I believe the off road or red dyed fuel is now ULS as well. I don't think they refine anything but. That what my fuel salesman says. I think construction equipment will be comming out with ULS engines now, as thats what is in everything else.

 

What brand / kind of LUB do you guys add?

 

Power Service from WalMart.

Power Service, or Howe's Meaner Cleaner.

 

dont shoot me but.

cant you just add something to the fuel to make it change colors again so its not red?

no i dont do that, i dont even know where you would purchase offroad diesel in my area.

 

Actually it is perfectly legal to run marked fuel in farm trucks here, even on the highway, so long as you have an appropriate farm tag and are on Farm Business.

This includes pickups and Semi Trucks with farm tags as well.

I have heard that the 6.7's (I have good friend who is Dodge Salesperson at the local dealer) are having a hard time with coloured fuel as apparently coloured fuel up here is not Low Sulphur.

 

Where is here? It would help if we could tell from your sig, especially when you use terms like "here." If "here" is in the US, the IRS would beg to differ.

From IRS Pub 225:

Fuel not used for farming. You do not use fuel on a farm for farming purposes when you use it in any of the following ways.

* Off the farm, such as on the highway or in noncommercial aviation, even if the fuel is used in transporting livestock, feed, crops, or equipment.

* For personal use, such as mowing the lawn.

* In processing, packaging, freezing, or canning operations.

* In processing crude gum into gum spirits of turpentine or gum resin or in processing maple sap into maple syrup or maple sugar.

Also, not all states have such a thing as farm tags.

 

if red dye is bad, the neon green dye in ULSD has to be horrible. maybe its not the new fuel. it could be the new dye

 

red fuel what's that????

 

They don't check in Idaho either? They don't check YET, that is.
