It has to depend on who you are buying from. May be diffenent in various counties also? The place I use the most - works like this. Five cents off per gallon for any delivery over 300 gallons of any fuel. Last week - heating oil was 2.09 per gallon and farm-fuel was $2.19 if the paper work was not filled out. If it WAS filled out - I think the price was the same as heating oil. I never had to find out since I bought all as "heating oil" after a little arguing. So, maybe that actually means there are two different prices for off-road fuel - one for farm and one for other stuff like backhoes, bulldozers, etc?
Whenever I drive through Michigan, they sell off-road diesel right at the pump. I filled my 60 gallon tanks last year in my F250 Ford with off-road dyed fuel by accident. I wasn't expecting there to be a choice, so I didn't notice until it was too late. I was afraid they wouldn't let me drive away - but the counter person didn't say a word about it. So, at the time - I guess I was a fuel-felon.
I'm not in the fuel business, so I have to rely on what these people tell me when I buy. I think some of them do things their own way - and can overlook certain issues when they want to.
There is one local supplier out toward Albany that advertises in the Pennysaver every week - and he always posts one price for dyed diesel - farm or for heat. I used him once and he did not ask me any questions about my various tanks.
We used to have an Agway salesman come around every spring - around this time of year and with almost unbelievable prices on "farm-fuel" - NOT heating oil. Last time he was here - it was 60 cents a gallon - so I guess it's been a few years - maybe 20 years ago? A lot of local farmers used it and complained it was crap. Rumour was it was over half kerosene and a gallon of it did not do the work a gallon of uncut #2 diesel would do.
