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.

The same is true for motor oil: clear, while transmission oil is red.

What would happen if you cross the offspring of two pink roses?
When a red flower crosses with a white flower, it can create a pink flower. Why? Because of incomplete dominance. Incomplete dominance is when the heterozygous phenotype(offspring) is a blend of the two homozygous phenotypes(parents).
What kind of power stations are fueled by fossil fuels?
The two most commonly used fossil fuels used to generate electricity are coal and natural gas. Some smaller-scale generators, especially backup generators for critical buildings or functions, are fueled by diesel or, for personal-sized generators, gasoline. Those are the most common ones. In theory, you could use almost any fossil fuel to generate electricity.

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

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.
Why is fuel dyed yellow?

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.
What type of fuel can be used instead of diesel in some cars?
Only diesel should be used but in a pinch or emergency kerosene can be used. Diesel is usually number 2 fuel and kerosene is #1 fuel. By the way jet fuel is kerosene. So dont use it in a diesel to often, the higher octane rating could damage the engine over time.
Is it safe to put on-road diesel in a tractor?
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.
