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.

Why is dyed diesel more expensive?

Dyed diesel is more expensive primarily due to the added costs associated with the dyeing process and regulatory compliance. The dye is used to distinguish off-road diesel from on-road diesel, which is subject to different taxes and regulations. Additionally, the production and distribution of dyed diesel involve specific handling and storage requirements, contributing to higher overall costs. Lastly, the market dynamics and demand for dyed diesel can also influence its price.

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.
