The one constant will be the federal 24.4 cents per gallon.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nSo, the price will be whatever the current market price is less these taxes. It can be purchased at most large fueling stations or at farm suppliers. If you have done the math you will realize that over time this could be a huge amount of money but, it is hardly worth the fines and hassle if caught. In case you are wondering California is the state with 67 cent tax ????.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can you drive on public roads using dyed diesel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n No, dyed diesel is meant to be used off-road. This defeats the purpose of selling it without the road tax. However, there are a few exceptions to the rule. Tractors and other off-road equipment can be used on the road with dyed diesel but, the vehicle in most cases is supposed to be within 25 miles of the registered address of the vehicle. This provides farmers a way to access land that is not directly attached to them. There are other exemptions for farmers in the event of bad weather depending on the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, as mentioned earlier, during emergencies like a hurricane dyed diesel is sometimes made available to everyone to combat fuel shortages. So those who are evacuating can get the fuel they need to get out of town. We saw this recently in Florida when then-governor Rick Scott lifted all taxes on fuel and made dyed diesel lawful to use while in the state of emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heating applications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Dyed diesel and kerosene are also used for heating fuel. This distinction allows residence to buy the fuel to heat their homes without paying a highway tax. Diesel is a great option for temporary or emergency heat as it is readily available, and the heaters are reasonably priced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summing up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n So, if you accidentally used some off-road diesel no big deal. Just don\u2019t make a habit of it. The fine is just not worth the savings. Always be careful and make sure you are putting in the intended diesel when fueling at a station you are not familiar with. Stick to the green stuff and stay away from the red for your on-road vehicle. By staying on-road you will ensure that you stay on the right side of the law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
