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.

Off road diesel does not have road taxes added to the cost.

What is the difference in off road diesel and on road other than color?

The primary difference between off-road diesel (also known as dyed diesel) and on-road diesel is the presence of a dye that indicates the fuel is not subject to federal and state taxes, making it cheaper for agricultural and construction equipment use. Additionally, off-road diesel often has a higher sulfur content compared to on-road diesel, which must meet stricter emissions standards. This difference in composition allows off-road diesel to be used in vehicles not designed for highway travel, while on-road diesel is formulated for use in vehicles that operate on public roads.


Was told yo use road diesel in hotsy power washer not off road fuel?

Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for this one. On-road diesel is recommended for use in diesel motors in general. Remember also that on-road diesel used for purposes for which the use of off-road diesel would be legal is non-taxable, which, in the case of an on-road diesel fuel purchase, will be translated into a tax refund.
