yes,it is safe to put off road diesel fuel not only in tractor but also in other vehicles
Yes. The difference is that off road fuel contains purple dye. If the tractor is older you may want to add some tranmission oil to the fuel as new Low Sulpher Diesel does not lubricate as well as the older diesel. As well you can add a diesel fuel conditioner which helps restore the lubrication properties of the fuel.
Using highway diesel in a Kubota tractor is generally safe, as most diesel engines are designed to run on regular diesel fuel. However, it's important to ensure that the fuel meets the required specifications for your specific model, including cetane ratings and sulfur content. Additionally, using highway diesel may not be compliant with local regulations if the tractor is used for agricultural purposes. Always consult the owner’s manual or a dealer for specific fuel recommendations.
No it's illegal
NO, it will dirty the fuel filters fast and possible clog the injectors. The other reason is that it is illegal and punishable by fines and jail time.
NoNo
No, it is not safe for people to float or swim in diesel fuel. Diesel fuel is highly flammable and can be harmful if it comes into contact with the skin or is ingested. It is best to avoid any contact with diesel fuel and follow proper safety precautions when handling it.
No, it is not safe to pour diesel fuel on the ground. Diesel is a hazardous substance that can contaminate soil and water, posing risks to the environment and human health. Additionally, it can create fire hazards and violate environmental regulations. Proper disposal methods should always be followed for hazardous materials.
Diesel fuel is ignited by heat AND compression. For example: Throwing a lit match in a bucket of diesel fuel won't ignite it. However, Gasoline will catch fire with just heat. PS, Don't try that trick I taught you in sentence 2! Be smart and safe!
Tractor Trailers are as safe as cars. Tractor trailers are made out of fiber glass, not anything else. --- No, actually, there is metal used in their construction. The panels and hood are made of fiberglass, in order to reduce weight, but the rest of it is not. Only a wannabe whose claims of driving experience are a complete lie would claim that a tractor-trailer is "only" made of fiberglass.
One year at a Tulsa Farm Show, IRS agents took fuel samples of farm owner's vehicles that attended the show. Anyone that they dipped dyed fuel from the 'onroad' vehicle's tank, they assessed how many miles the vehilce had driven by that owner, the average fuel milage and considered the lost revenue plus penalty on the owner of the vehicle. THERE IS NO STATE that it is legal to use offroad fuel to operate on a public highway. The dye is federally mandated. Improper use is breaking the law and it can have prodigious penalties. It is safe to put off road diesel in any diesel engine as long as it complys with local and state laws. Other than that diesel is diesel. The off road fuel has just got a dye in it to mark it as off road fuel. Its great unless you get caught.... Very hefty fine... Around here I hear the penalty is about $4,000 by the time you add in the lawyer fees and stuff. Its so stiff because it is a tax offense, and you know how they work. Also I have been checked a couple of times here in NC when they check your license at a roadblock.... I burned off-road, dyed diesel in my 2002 TDI for an entire year with no problem at all; and that was 15,000 miles ago. It was illegal to do and the penalty was high, if caught. But in the county I was living in, I didn't think the Highway Patrol were bright enough to know the difference!
For use as an engine lubricant - no.
not by law lol it will mess up you oxegen sensor after a while
