I was in the Army in Germany and they have a big problem with folks burning non-taxed fuel (for heating) in cars. About half the cars there are diesel and they don't even have to dip the tank to look for pink. They have a paper that works kind of like litmus paper, they spray the paper and hold it by your exhaust pipe.
Where we live we can put it in our trucks as long has we have farm plates on it
that's reasonable.
Not for commuting on public roads though.
That's because your vehicle isn't inspected or has tags that are registered. Up to 30 miles max travel for f-tags.
I’ve been running OR diesel in my trucks for years...taxation is theft
Our diesel is dyed pink up here in Manitoba, Canada too. Its classified as farm diesel, we have dyed gasoilne too that farmers can use, but not for road use
If you do put in your truck, throw a quart of the thickest oil you can get in the tank & it’ll change the color to a dark brown.
The idea is that farmers shouldn't pay tax for fuel used in the fields to pay for the roads. Using the road is a necessary but unavoidable burden to move equipment to tend to the fields.
Nobody should pay tax on fuel, we shouldn’t be paying taxes period.....Taxation is theft
one of my buddies got caught with farm or dyed diesel in his truck cost him $450 per gallon.
p.s. if from wisconsin
*im
Its $10/gal or $1000 whichever is greater. That’s for all 50 states
Been running on pink for like three years straight from my grandpas farm
Thanks For This I Understand Now As To Why The Diesel Fuel My Job Uses For Our Air Ramp Equipment Is Pink
My brother was doing snow removal with his tractor and he got pulled over by the cops because he was driving with his back lights on;they checked his fuel also and it was pink;he said that our uncle(who is a farmer )used the tractor for his crops and gave it back to my brother with a full tank of red fuel;it was also the first snow of the season so my brother got away with only a warning!
Here in Australia everyone gets taxed on fuel and it doesn't matter if it is a road use or a generator. I use the same diesel in a generator that i get for the 4X4 at the same fuel pump when i fill the fuel tank up and the 20 liter jerry cans here in Australia.
In the US there is a tax on fuel (gas/diesel) to pay for roads, road tax, although most of it generally gets spent on something other than roads by politicians. The dyed fuel doesn't have road tax on it. There is also a sales tax included in the price, dyed is not road taxed but can be sales taxed unless a farmer has an exemption. Anyone can use dyed diesel that has sales tax on it
incorred - farm use diesel isnt dyed or taxed - its actually subsidised where we only pay 50c/l
Are you stoned?
1totheright No but I should have been. This video would have made a lot more sense!
:)
It made sense.
I got you bro.
I was under the impression that Wisconsin farmers can use off road Diesel in road going vehicles as long as said vehicle carries a farm/farmer registration and said farmer actually owns/operates a farm.
I have dual tanks is it illegal to have one filled with red dye for farm use and one with regular diesel for highway?
Yes its illegal
Unless the truck is specificallu for farm use. I honestly would not put farm diesel in a pickup truck even if it has dual tanks. Not a risk i want to take
in Australia our off road Diesel isnt dyed - its just the normal green colour - tax is 40c/L and the gov has a rebait where you onlu pay about 40-50c/L (regular taxed diesel is $1.25/L)
I remember when my truck ran out of fuel near a farm because of fuel thieves and the farmer had come up his driveway to see what I was doing there for so long I told him I was waiting on a tow truck to bring me diesel because of these thieves.it was hot out and I was 50 miles from home so he rolls up and says I've been hit by fuel thieves too so he gave me 5 gallons of off road diesel so I could get to a gas station. and get this my truck is an 82 Datsun 720 diesel and not everyone knows these trucks came with diesels these assholes stole what I just put in it and the same jack asses who stole my fuel were broke down just a few miles from where they took my fuel.
Karma at it's finest!
This was a grammar rollercoaster.
shit yeah Datsun 720 in the USA - my mate here in Australia owns 2 Datsun 620's a Datsun 1000 and a Datsun Sunny pannel van - also a Datsun 720 is considered a ute not a truck - as it is much smaller
Not many of those in our area anymore. They used really cheap metal and the rusted away cuz road salt.
It's just furnish oil I use that to
In sweden we had red diesel. Very good no additives. Now its shiny clean.
i think thats white diesel?
Where I live they use red dye
You can use this as regular diesel & throw a quart of oil in it & will be nice n black, can’t tell if it’s dyed.
Farmers hate that we get to run that in all our state units
Off road diesel is not ultra low sulfur and that is why it’s died also that pink diesel is fuel oil used for heating.
American un-taxed diesel is saturated in dye. Compared to british un-taxed diesel, which is light in a red color. Kinda weird
we have green diesel over here for agri use also have red diesel its more smokier but not pink
We are aloud to use it in school buses that are under state contract also
We use it hear in ontario in the tractors but there's not that much difference in the price range !!
or you can do what my uncle likes to do,keep an emty bottle of fuel treatment/ingector cleaner in your pickup, and use off road diesel as much as you want! i don't know about other places,but off road diesel here in california can legaly be used to transport cunstruction or farm equipment less than 50 miles.
You can put it in your truck only if it's a farm truck. Well in Alberta I don't know for other places
the off road at one time did have a lot more sulfer content when the road fuel was 500 ppm sulfer the off road was 1500ppm when they went to ultra low road fuel the off road went to 500ppm off roadfuel was changed to ultra low a few years ago.
Ethanol additive in a Diesel? Not for me, thank you. And how does it get rid of the coloring? It may dilute it, but to dilute it to the point you "get rid of it", you'd need a lot more additive than diesel.
Looks like McDonald’s food before being cooked XD
Can you use pink diesel in your truck when you are on the farm? Say you are hauling stuff around the farm for awhile, and then you take a road trip afterwards, can you get in trouble for having residual pink dye in there, or is it just a big deal if it is clearly an attempt to avoid road taxes?
Yeah its not a good thing to have pink diesel in ur truck so u wont get introuble
+Brisdad53 you can't put off-road diesel in the 2008 and up pickup trucks the fuel systems are sensitive
A number of years ago in Texas, farmers were to record when they were using public roads with off road equipment. Then pay the taxes for that use but it never was fully implemented. With propane we paid by the miles we drove each year to buy non taxed propane. I am sure that we burn a lot more taxed fuel on private roads.
what were you using propane in? - my car here in Australia runs on it - i pay 65c/L ($2.46/Gal) 13c/l is road tax so the gov can get its money back when i subsidised propane conversion (my conversion cost me only $46!) and tax on unleaded and diesel is 40c/L
Fine is $10/gallon or $1000 per instance, whichever is greater.
The red (pink), off road diesel in the US is no different than the non dyed, on road diesel. The only difference is the dye that is added.
Fuck that’s a harsh punishment for running red diesel haha. Here in Northern Ireland if your caught it’s a 500 pound fine
Great video, thanks.
Thanks!
crusha raspberry milkshake!!
Is there any diffrent colored gas?
in some jurisdictions there is
some not
My mate has a old tank hooked up to his van thats hidden under the shelving in the back and a flick switch under the dash to change it back to the taxed diesel 👍🏻 tax avoiding at its best
They check diesel filter now under your bonnet.
***** it is good idea. Question is how much do you dive and how much you safe in diesels
+Out Of Place Ninja we drive jacked up trucks because its hard to mud and climb rocks in a prius
U can reverse the pink just add ethanol additive that u buy from parts retailers
The UK has Red Diesel for off road, agriculture and all boating use. The EU came in with rules that private boater must use White road diesel and thus pay the tax. But boat yards refused to sell it because they would have to by now pumps, because they would have to buy new pumps and tanks as its impossible to get the red dye out of the system. The UK came up with a tax scheme that allowed the boat yards to keep selling Red diesel but 75% of the sale would be taxed the remaining 25% would not be taxed. This would be classed as heating or generator fuel and thus would be zero rated. This worked fine in the UK but travelling to the EU resulted in huge customs fines even though boater produced tax recipes' for the red diesel. Tax calculations were made on the size of the tank not the fuel they contained. Even if the boater crossed the channel with very little fuel, a very bad sailing practice. It took a lot of UK Government intervention to get it sorted out, in the mean time a lot of boaters cancelled trips to the EU this of course showed in tourist revenue. BS
Low sulphur is off road ultra low is on road it's red in texas
what is the sulfur content of ultra low vs low sulfur - here in Australia our farm diesel isnt dyed, isnt taxed . and costs us 1/3 of the price of taxed pump diesel - all i know is its called G10 or 10ppm sulfur content - all regular unleaded in Australia has 150ppm sulfur aswell
have you ever drank any diesel? ive been wanting to try a shot of off road diesel
i actually tried a drink. its quite delicious

Do a video. I'd like to see it. Might even go viral.
I don't have any diesel vehicles. But if I did, you better believe I would scam and scheme and evade the taxes and save money for myself! I'd take the chances on getting caught!
I use red diesel once in my truck...just Once,
"Pink" in this case is the British English spelling of "ping." Hence they say "pinking," we say "pinging."
its called Red-Diesel
Niko Bellic LS CLOSED it's called heating oil
Niko Bellic LS CLOSED it's called heating oil.
Kelly Askew heating oil and RED-DIESLE are usually completely different! But you can use red-diesel for central heating!
remember if you have a diesel vehicle under factory warranty and this is found in the fuel test, then you out.
ours is dyed blue.
1 million dollar fine. That's a load of bullshit😂😂
tax avoidance is something we all do, that's why government is trying to make system better
Well, then thank you & me.
... same as in Canada, I guess.
In Germany we have reduced taxes on farm fuel. But it's not tainted.
We use it in our tractors nothing else
And by the way:
Diesel is at the gas station around 6,70$ / gallon (if I calculated correctly; 1,45 € / litre), including all taxes. Farm fuel is around 15% cheaper.
Augrabenhuepfer
In the UK its red diesel
Why is there less tax? Because farm equipment is driven on the roads infrequently?
rnich35180 because 90+ percent of fuel in tractors is used for the field, going down the road does not use as much as planting, tilling, etc.
Yep they are not taxed because most the fuel is used in field use.
Wish we hade that kind of diesel here in Sweden!!! Then one would be able to live on the farm agin!! :)
dyed diesel also smells different when burned
How diffrent?
+Phen0mable got a more potent diesel smell. high sulfur
are you stoned? haha lmao
buffranchAB nah just a farmer with a sun baked head
Back maybe 16 years ago I did not know this and I had off road in Diesel in a dump truck just cuz we ran it out and we lived 15 mins away to anything I got pulled over by dot they tried to hang my ass I had to go to court facing a $1,000 fine he said he could tell by the smoke I was running off road witch I called bull on but after tell The judge why I only had 5 gallon of it just to get me to the store to fill up he let me go but told me next time if it happen I would do 30 days in jail and the fine but they never did tell me why it was wrong to do this to me i was a kid just thinking one gave more power then the other lmao smart right lol
all our desiel is just plain yellow
It is pink the same as red heating oil for a house because they are both the same thing 😋 even cheaper
It's heating oil for fucks sake.
For the first 8 yrs employed as a #2 Pumper at ConocoPhillips Refinery; I have sampled a lot of different fuels. This is not heating oil. Heating oil used in older oil fired furnaces about the same color and thickness of molasses. It usually the heaviest oil cut from the catilytic cracking unit and is known to refinery employees as #10 bunker fuel. Now days the refinery here doesn't even sell it as heating fuel. It is either loaded into rail tank cars and shipped to carbon fiber plants as "Carbon Black Oil" or it is burned in plant to fire the older boilers that are still in use since they have a permit still (newer boliers all use natural gas) Contrary to the statement in this video; red dyed diesel and road diesel(aka #2 diesel) have exact same sulpher content. It comes from the same storge tanks. The delivery driver pours the red dye into the semi trailer compartment through a hatch on top before filling with diesel. As stated the red dyed fuel is tax free. That is because farm implement and construction equipment are not primary users of federaly funded highways making them excempt from the US Federal Highway Motor Tax that funds the highway's maintenance. Diesel semis and pickups are expected to use highways highways primarily and must buy non dyed fuel to indicate that they are making their contribution to to the maintenance of the maintained roads. Non dyed diesel is sampled every 4hrs and when looked at through a 1 quart clear glass sample bottle(standard size and color of bottle) it is a light yellow. The yellow tint is caused by the sulpher. Kerosene is damn near sulpher free and looks like moonshine in a bottle. In the winter diesel pour point parameters are changed to lower the temp it gels at by removing more paraffin wax. This is what you buy at the normal pump. In climates with extreme cold weather the is usually a pump labeled winter(or something similar) or #1. "Winter" is usually #2 diesel cut with #1 diesel aka Kerosene and a pump labeled #1 should be just that.The only other fuel that contains an actual dye additive is 100LL(Low Lead) Aviation Fuel aka Avgas. It is dyed blue and has a federaly mandated color range. Because of the mandate; dye is added by the #2 pumper during blending so that a sample taken after the blend is done can be tested and certified in the lab.. Avgas is not the same as Jet Fuel. Jet Fuel (usually called Jet A 1)is actually kerosene with additives to minimize a jet's black exhaust smoke and gelling at altitude and thus no more volatile. JP-4 is Millitary Jet Fuel and has some volatile blend stocks used in gasoline added to it.
To add to this the non taxed fuel only looks pink while it is foamy. Once the foam is gone it is obviously red. When the Fed Law changed and we went ULSD in our plant; a rrumor also circulated that red dyed fuel was no longer tax free. To receive the tax exemption; contruction ompanies and farmers/ranchers had to keep receipts and turn them in when filing their income tax reports for a refund.
You may have used a heavier fuel oil working in the plant as a heating oil, However, Home heating oil is nothing more than #2 diesel. I spent 22 or so years hauling fuel from terminals to gas stations and small oil companies, the home heating oil comes from the same tank as a load of #2 diesel. This is the same as hauling jet fuel to the airport, we load Jet A out of the same tank as the #1 diesel fuel (Kerosene). The airport may add additives but that is done at the airport. In the winter (here in Ohio) we will blend 10% and 20% diesel and kerosene (90% diesel and 10% kero) for the winter blends depending on temps and customer order. As a side note, note all off road diesel is dyed, just that that is available for sale or available to the public, for example the railroads use off road diesel and we never blended it dye ( this is note to say they never have dyed fuel, we just had 2 trucks that only hauled railroad fuel, about 1,000,000 a month and it did not get dyed). oh how I long for the good ole days.
woow like those stories
That's Red Diesel fuel. Red Diesel is for offroad use only. Use on public roads is illegal and punishment can be pretty hefty.
I have been a farmer my whole life. I am not a tree hunger.
It’s the same as kerosene. They dye it so you can’t use it in your truck.
Its my nature when i see a stupid comment like that if u dont know what ur talkin about its simple dont comment .......oh by the way thank a farmer for feeding u
Thank u people are dumb when us farmers do the work to feed our livestock and the public and just ask stupid things.
farm diesel here is red on road diesel is a light blue and winter diesel is green
never heard of light blue - our diesel is green year round - slightly lighter green for the winter mix when they put a bit of heating oil in with it
It's diesel fuel, not home heating oil.
No, that was a strawbery milk. Drink it, becuz its healthy
Beautiful red dyed fuel, truck drivers are allowed to use it in thier. Refrigerated trailers. Only place I know of that sell a it in massive bulk is in the state of Nebraska
Why so mean?
its um fuel um but um, idk um
One word: scam.
its home heating oil
Yah our Diesel fuel around here is dyed Red for offroad fuel, can not be ran in ANY on-road diesel equipment. If we are caught with offroad its your ass. Ive put offroad in my duramax once without knowing it because i pumped from the wrong fuel storage tank on the farm land. me and highschool buddy run a small animal farm, 32 goats, 5 head of cattle, 3 pigs, but its on a 60 acre plot, with 3 john deere tractors, a bobcat excavator and an Actual Bobcat bobcat, the equipment is used for landscaping and lawn clearing jobs, we have a full service lawn care business. But my point is, even having 2 acres with 2 goats makes your tax's alot more profitable, you open up so much more to be written off, bought a brand new 2016 electric golf cart? WRITE OFF for nearly 80% return, bought a a new duramax as farm truck? WRITE OFF. guys go get a farm. or atleast go buy 2 hens and put them in a cage outside. WRITE IT ALL OFF
you better check into what you can write off its something like 80% of your gross income has to be from farming to be tax exempt a hobby farm is not and like your truck if its used in your landscape business too you write a portion of expenses off both based on percentage of use
With the landscaping business well over 80% of its income in cash and is not "claimed" and you are right about it must be a certain percent to be tax exempt, which we arn't but im not sure of its actual percentage of our income, i take my accountant my books every year, she asks what new items i have bought at all anything from supplies to a mack truck, she finds out a way to write off what she can for the close to the most percent she can, i dont have her try to rob the IRS or lie on the tax return, anything listed was actually purchased and used for the 3 business's total.
the farm, the lawncare business, the landclearing also.
+Zachary Redmon I'm didn't mean to imply you were robbing the IRS their crooks anyhow screw them all you can I was just saying to claim somethings you can claim depends on the majority where your income comes from. your accountant seems to know what to do for you . good luck
oh no i wasnt gettin defensive i was just agreeing in most ways, and i forsure dont know hardly any of the tax laws or actual write offs, i just know what the accountant tells me was done at the end of the filing process each year.
are diesel I'd die yellow
My wife watches your videos over and over again... Should I be worried??? Hahaha!
Off road fuel
its for tax purposes
having the diesel dyed colors the fumes that come out of it. policemen can see the difference with the commercial one that is not dyed without doing gaz check.
Where do you live they change the smell?
you mean red diesel
jarrod gaddis
think real hard, man. real hard
HE IS THIEVE
Fuck that’s a harsh punishment for running red diesel haha. Here in Northern Ireland if your caught it’s a 500 pound fine
