They dip the tank. The MTO is now checking light duty trucks too. Be careful, not worth the fine.

 

[Rustyiron]

I was told that they now can tell off road fuel with some kind of infra red "gun" on the exhaust. Anyone else heard this?

 

[Soundguy]

On the off road diesel note, where do they check the color of fuel at the tank of the ingectors?

they dip the tank with a 'straw' and then compair to a chart.

my personal truk gets dipped on average, 1per year.. though has been 2 per year before.

whent hey show up at work.. everything with a tag that burns fuel oil gets dipepd.. personal or company. if you have a refuel tank in your bed to fuel up a tractor.. the look to see if it's hooked up as a '2nd' tnak on a switch..

About time. I have been wondering if someone had the balls to enforce the EPA regs.

I am sure that every time they have checked you out everything was OK...
They will keep coming back...
Got to keep their jobs even though they are checking people they know are in compliance...
My son's father-in-law drives a truck for one of the local companies...
He gets checked for weight compliance once a month...
They know he is under his tagged weight and everything is in order...
It is a game...
I guess it makes their numbers look good...

That is what I thought!! Too many melonheads getting injectors fixed under warranty because of abuse from programmers.

Now the tables are turned!!

yep.. I don't run red in anything anymore.

too much a pita to go get it.. and no discount buying by the drum.. then I had to keep fuel up cans seperate.. cans for red.. cans for clear..e tc.

I , thus always pass. and yeah.. the fine is stiff.

a guy that works for us one time broke down on a job, DID put in a couple gallons of red to get to a store.. then fill up.. then got checked.

with a letter from him and us, they halved the fine and made it JUST a fine.. no other civil penalty.

I know back during the hurricanes when fuel was scarce.. a note went out that you could use red on road and then send in the tax retroactively.. i figure dthat would be inviting trouble thru enforcement later and just rationed my clear back then.

and now.. it's clear only.. tractor and truck..e tc..

Tractor gets the dyed fuel, but at $ 0.64 cheaper than the road fuel, it is worth it, and readily available.

around here I'd have to drive the next city iup to get red diesel at the discount. I can buy locally by the drum.. for clear prices.

either way.. for burning 5g at a time.. it's not worth it to drive to another city to save the road tax on 5g for me anyway.

I agree. I buy it at a Husky truckstop, which I dtive by every day, otherwise, I would just tun clear fuel too.

 

[Soundguy]

if i go the next city up and remember I buy it.. but for 'need it now' just local.

tractor don't seem to care..

They can tell now if some computers have been reflashed. I think H&S also got in trouble.

I remember efi live had a program for the LML, then pulled it, said they were not going there. Maybe they seen what was coming.

I thought they could get around the epa junk buy saying offroad use only.

With efi live, you can write your own custom tunes. Something tells me they would of gotten themselves in real deep if that had of been released.

You run road taxed fuel in your tractors?

 

[Diamondpilot]

I meet a guy who had a trash truck company. Had something like 40 trucks. He ran fuel oil in them. The fine in his state was only $75 and he saved 10 times that a day so it was worth the risk.

There is a thing called Moates Quarter Horse. A lot of Mustang guys use it to write their own tune. There is no difference. What about offroad H or X pipes for a car? If it is for offraod/ race use what does the EPA care?
