Highways

Off road diesel is colored usually red tint and has no highway taxes in the price other than that there is no difference It should be noted that if you are considering using off-road diesel in your pick-up or other on-road vehicles, DON'T. It is highly illegal and if you get caught there will be harsh fines and penalties.

Generally the above answer is correct. I would only add that off road fuel, no 2 oil, or home heating oil will power your engine fine. If you do in fact have an off road use for your vehicle such as farming, then it is perfectly acceptable to use this fuel. One caveat is that is certain states like New York. The state requires you to purchase on road fuel and pay the tax up front. Even if you use the vehicle exclusively off road. You are supposed to file for a rebate the end of the year, but since most people don't bother the state makes a fortune.

To further expound on the taxes The Federal tax on diesel is $.24 a gallon, The state tax varies by state but NY state charges 22.65 cents per gallon highway tax and 8 cents per gallon sales tax. So New Yorkers are paying over $.54 cents a gallon is taxes.

It is very common for State DOT officers and certain state's police to syringe fuel from trucks at safety checks and weigh stations. This is to ensure that truckers are using the correct fuel and paying the correct taxes on it. These fuel checks are also found at certain state's large farm and agriculture shows, as it is very common practice for farmers to use off road fuel in their trucks. Technically they must have ON road fuel when they travel over public highways. Certain states like Maryland, the state police are empowered to conduct random checks of diesel vehicles.

The law is similar in the UK - about the only road vehicles legally allowed to use red diesel on the roads, are agricultural and I think forestry. It is illegal in all other vehicles from private cars to HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicles).

The tax system on road fuel in the UK is compound: a Customs & Excise duty on the fuel, then Value Added Tax (VAT - a European Union invention that produces a complex chain of tax and refund from manufacturer to user) on top of the already-taxed fuel! One result is that the profit margin on road fuel is so poor that many small, independent garages no longer sell it, and many have gone out of business altogether.
