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.
