You got some interesting replies..... ;)

Anyhow, since it could be used in a motor vehicle, yes it is. The patrols check diesel pickups & trucks, and if dye is in your tank, big big fines.

Dye in the fuel _only_ signifies it has not had road tax paid on it. It does not indicate anything else at all.

Fuel comes as straight 2 (summer), straight 1 (winter - closer to kerosene) or a 'winter blend' made up of the 2 and/or an anti-gel. You can't tell anything from the dye, other than it has not had taxes paid on it.

Some dye gasoline as well, other areas do not - for the road tax, or lack of.

Here in Pa, regular Deisel is clear, off road deisel(same as home heating oil) is dyed red. The only difference is that heating oil dosn't come with an anti gelling additive. We add it ourself to our tractor fuel to keep it from gelling up in supzero weather. I don't suppose you have much of a problem with that in Texas.

There is some kerosene around, but it is getting harder to find.

Airports sell Jet A and Jet A-1, which is a high quality kerosene. Super clean burning stuff too. Price is cheaper than purchasing kerosene from the local gas station pumps. Mike in Exetor, home of the vicious White Polar Squirrels. Last year in Goderich at that last gas station east of town on Hwy #8 by the big box stores. I thought their kerosene was a good price at 62.9 cents per litre. The attendent then told me they had to doule the face price on the pump as it ran out of numbers above 99.9 cents per liter.

Tx Jim, in Ontario diesel fuel for farm use is dyed. This way the MTO can check your diesel truck and fine you for evading the road tax on fuel. Diesels using our highways run clear diesel that has about$.50 tax a gallon for road maintenance. Furnace fuels have no need to be dyed other than preventing use in a diesel truck and again, avoiding road tax...Mike in Exeter Ontario
