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.

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.
