Fuel Prices?

RE: Fuel Prices?
I run the off road diesel in my truck alot. I actually get a little better miliage with it. We own a marina in mississippi on the coast and i just get a couple gallons here and there out of our diesel tanks. I think its really the same diesel just with less sulfur. The reason its cheaper is you just dont have to pay the highway taxes on it.

Josh, the off-road actually has a bit more sulfer in it than on-road and is dyed red, Something to think about though, while red fuel is cheaper, i just might cost you down the road, 1 gallon of red will contaminate 100 gallons of on road to the point that i will fain anny DOT dip test. The laws and fines vary from state to state, but here in Idaho, if I get caught with it in my tank, I will be fined up to $10,000. The going fine here localy has been around $3,000, so at a savings of $.20 a gallon, well you do the math. For me, it just isn't worth taking the chance. Troy

Yea i know what your saying. Nobody around here will check you though and i only use it every once in a while to tip off my tank if im in the back of the yard. Here in southern MS it is 30 cents cheaper. I guess its just a way of saving a little money. What is in it that can harm your motor?

There is nothing in red fuel that will hurt your motor, in fact red has a higher sulfer content, so that is a good thing, more lubrication for your lift pump and injectior pump. It will smoke a little more, but most who do any mods will smoke a little also. If you can get away with it, run it.

My brother in law was recently fined $4,000 for running red farm fuel in his pickup. The higher fuel prices get the more the DOT checks. He was actually inside a restraunt when the DOT pulled into the parking lot and began checking. You might not get caught, but 1 time will wipe out what you would have saved running it in a lifetime. Don't run it. If you do someone else is taking up your slack, and I'm sorry to say I hope you get caught if you do.
