This is one of 'Depends' questions...

To a certain extent, it depends on what state you're in...

In Calif.. the diesel is ALL low-sulfur now...
So the commercial pump and the small nozzle pump have the same fuel. In your state ? Dunno. But more than likely they are exactly the same.

Another topic is color.

There is OFF Highway Diesel and On-Highway.

Again, in Calif, it's all low-sulfer
and the only difference is color and price.

Colored dyes are used as part of the taxation scheme.

Red = No highway taxes applied.
Clear = Highway taxes paid.

Don't let them catch you with dyed fuel in an on-highway rig... except farm tractors are exempt for
use within a specified distance of their home farm.
