The dye in diesel will not damage any diesel engine, however it may damage your bank account, in the UK 'red' diesel has a reduced duty (tax) and is strictly for use off road by farmers, construction workers etc. It is an offence to use red dyed diesel on public roads and you may get a heavy fine from the law courts.
if it is dyed diesel then no it is agents the law
Off road diesel is dyed but otherwise the same as highway diesel. The difference is in the tax. Highway diesel has a road tax on it
Most carriers just use ULSD in their reefers, and bill it out as reefer fuel because it's non-taxable. In the case of red dyed, diesel, it's both highly illegal to use for on-highway use, not to mention it'll clog the DPF of an EPA2010 diesel engine truck.
It is a tax issue. Dyed diesel fuel is not taxed, and as long as the fuel is used on the farm it can be run in anything, but when dyed fuel is used on a road vehicle you are cheating your state and town of tax revenue needed to maintain roadways.
They can use the red dyed diesel, or they can use regular Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel #2 which is used for highway vehicles. ULSD can be used.
yes If it's a space heater - don't use diesel if it's dyed.
Since 2007 most diesel pumped at any station in the USA or Canada is ULSD, regardless if it's on-road (clear) diesel, or off-road (dyed) diesel. The only difference is the fuel is that by using it as off road the taxes are not the same and it is cheaper. Dyed diesel will not affect your engine.
Some diesel fuel is only supposed to be used by farmers. It is cheaper. The dye is there so it can be found if used in improper vehicles. The fuel is the same, just dyed. It will not hurt to use it.
No it's just dyed purple so people can see the gas.
On-road diesel is taxable under IFTA (but still may be used for non-taxable purposes, such as refrigerated units, Proheat units, equipment, etc.), whereas red dyed diesel is not. The red dyed diesel leaves a much darker exhaust emission, which will be easily identifiable to any DOT/Motor carrier enforcement officer.
Diesel used in non road vehicles like tractors and heavy equipment. It is dyed red and is illegal to use in highway vehicles like trucks.
Anything dyed becomes a different colour. PS: There are no animals in Antarctica, it's too cold.
