I wouldn't use it. I have an '03 which was recalled for recalibration when the low-sulphur diesel was introduced. The computers and parts are so sensitive anymore, I wouldn't take the risk.

Does red diesel damage your engine?
It will not damage your engine but it is illegal to on the road. The fuel is dyed for use off road. Off road Diesel is not taxed like on-road diesel. Also, the newest on-road diesels require ultra low sulfur fuel, and red is not always low sulfur. It will wipe out your particulate filter, which is expensive (and won't be warrantied). Often red diesel is straight #2. So it needs additive if it's much below freezing.

Does off road diesel cause fuel injection problems in trucks?
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.
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 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.
