Diesel

[anvilrubi]

You're on vacation pull up to the diesel pump 4 of them in line you stick you're card in begin pumping your fuel, the nozzle clicks its full that's when you see red fuel, you look down and there's a sticker about the size of a stick of gum at the bottom of the pump. What do you do? Do you run it? Call somebody to tow your truck away to get it drained? What are your thoughts?

 

[paradisePWoffrd]

are you towing or just driving your truck? When do you expect to need to refuel?

Your driving it and it's jammed full of dyed fuel

 

[braxton357]

Run it. The odds of it getting dipped are extremely small.

Throw a couple quarts of ATF in the toolbox. On the small chance you do get stopped you have at least some type of explanation. I heard of a guy that said he ran dyed fuel exclusively for 10 years and that was his excuse for the color.

 

[LBZ_Duramax]

Even if you drain it the dye will probably be there for a while.

I've heard it takes a few tanks to get the dye completely out of the tank.

 

[anvilrubi]

One things for sure it runs dang good.

Run it! Unless your towing or running something that requires a CDL, chances of getting dipped are slim to none.

Oh and don't act a fool on the road and don't get pulled and your just fine.

 

[Infamous1]

Run it!!!!

 

[obullfish]

Run that shit.

From what I've been told, the strips they use won't react to ATF in the fuel. I don't know that for sure, but I've also never heard of anyone being dipped around here.

With that being said....

Old dude I met once had one of those fuel tank toolboxes like farmers and construction guys have. He had it plumbed in to this fuel system with ball valves under the truck. He kept a quarter tank of good diesel in the truck tank and ran off the toolbox tank. He said he'd been doing it for years

Not sure where iwannahoe NC is, but here in Charlotte, good luck even finding non-hwy diesel. Never been stopped for a fuel check.

The off road/on road diesel usage around Ivanhoe is around 10/1 if I had to guess. Nothing down there but humongous fields

Isn't the fuel exactly the same? At least during summer.
Only difference is lack of tax.

The fine is pretty steep last guy I know that go busted was fined $4000 and that was in the 90s

Used to be on-hw was only ULSD while off road was regular then low sulphur. Now it's all the same. Usually isn't even that much of a price difference either.

Unless you're @SPOA87YJ, run that shit

 

[SPOA87YJ]

I have been dipped 3x within a mile from where I used to live.

Other than that I have nothing to add. I'm sure the tank is almost empty by now!

Please do not do anything illegal. I certainly wouldn't want myself or anyone else to be caught up in an accessory to commit tax fraud legal battle.
