Wrong Fuel???
A friend of mine just filled up her Furd PSD with diesel that I guess is supposed to be used for earth moving equipment, tractors, etc. -- it's really reddish.
What's the difference and will it hurt her engine. Does she need to get it out of the tank or can she just run it? How about a fuel treatment?
Need an answer quick.
Thanks,

That type of fuel is non-taxed and intended for farm/gov't use. It is only dyed red and may contain a small amount of sulfer. Won't do anything but maybe increase mileage (did for me)

It won't hurt anything except maybe her wallet. There is a pretty stiff fine for running red dye fuel in an on-road vehicle if caught. Run it down until it's really empty, then refill.
