Diesel is two different colors that include light yellow and blue. They are different colors so that people can distinguish between the two in order to know what is best for their vehicle. Light yellow is for vehicles that run on the highway while light blue is for marine and agriculture vehicles.

What happens when you put dyed diesel into a ford power stroke?

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 diesel fuel dyed pink?

Diesel fuel (known as gas oil in some countries) falls into the same general range of petroleum distillates as No. 2 fuel oil, which is commonly used as a heating fuel for buildings or as 'red diesel' fuel for off-road agricultural vehicles, emergency generators, etc. In the US, diesel intended for on-road or commercial vehicle use (which is not dyed, and is sometimes called white diesel) has to be refined to a lower sulfur content, whereas No. 2 oil or red diesel does not have to be refined as much. No. 2 oil or red diesel are thus cheaper to produce but more deleterious to air quality and machinery, since the sulfur content of the fuel oil reacts with moisture to form sulfuric acid. Since these three products are functionally interchangeable, and since the taxes on road diesel are also higher than on red diesel or No. 2 oil, government regulations in most countries require that off-road diesel be dyed so that inspectors, vendors, and purchasers can distinguish between the various products. Illegal use of off-road diesel or No. 2 oil as fuel for on-road trucks or construction equipment is still a common practice.

How do you tell the difference between diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline in a gas can?

Diesel fuel smells different to gasoline. A simple test is to pour a little of the fuel onto your fingers, and rub the fuel between thumb and finger. Diesel fuel will feel oily where gasoline is not oily. In some countries gasoline may have colour added, so if it's say red/pink it could be gasoline. But in other countries - such as the UK - farmers can buy cheap "agricultural" diesel that is a red colour only for use in tractors and other farm machinery. So you can't rely on the colour unless you know for sure which colours are standard in your country.
