You don't want to. Not only will it eventually have bad effects on your motor, but it's also illegal to use off-road diesel in a highway diesel motor.

Can you put off road diesel with diesel?

In theory off road diesel is the same as that you would buy from the filling station although it may not be as pure or contain the engine preserving additives that the major fuel companies add to the diesel you buy at the filling station. In many countries the duty paid on Road fuel is Higher than that of off road diesel and as a result you could be breaking the law if driving a vehicle on public roads that is being fueled with off road Diesel.


What happens when you put truck diesel instead of car diesel?

do you mean off road diesel insted of regular diesel? because there is no car and truck diesel. nothing will happen if you put off road diesel in your car, unless its under warranty and then you take it in and they see red diesel then bye bye warranty or if you get pulled over and a state trooper just so happens to have the kit to check it. Then you get a hefty fine since off road diesel has no tax on it. Being that it is supposed to be used off road like in bobcats or back hoes or what not. truck diesel costs 8 cents more because they have to pay road tax, but its the same fuel, on-hiway stuff.

What happens if you put off road diesel in a diesel tractor engine?

Depends...by "diesel tractor" do you mean "farm tractor" or "semi tractor"? You're SUPPOSED only to put off road diesel in a farm tractor. That's why they make it. If you have put it in a semi tractor, get hold of your dispatch/brief/lawyer right away for advice on what to do. If you have a pre-2007 engine your trouble is almost exclusively legal. If your engine is 2007 or 2010 compliant, you're probably going to screw up your EGR and diesel particulate filter, which will break your engine.


Can off road diesel be used in an unlicensed dump truck?

Yes but off road diesel is usually highsulfur and may cause you some injector problems over time. Very hard to find but look for low sulfur off road. The only physical deference between low sulfur off road and low sulfur on road is a die that is put in the fuel causing it to be red and more easily detected when checking fuel for tax evasions purposes because you don't pay hwy tax on off road fuels.


Is it safe to put on-road diesel in a tractor?

Yes. The difference is that off road fuel contains purple dye. If the tractor is older you may want to add some tranmission oil to the fuel as new Low Sulpher Diesel does not lubricate as well as the older diesel. As well you can add a diesel fuel conditioner which helps restore the lubrication properties of the fuel.
