Oil & Fuel Maybe a silly question but....

Thanks very much all. As a I said, probably a silly question, but details are important. Thanks again, stay safe!

I'll keep it simple, can off-road diesel be used in RK tractors without problem? I see no reason to pay for the on-road diesel for my tractor, unless it is a requirement for warranty or whatever. I have looked in various literature, no success. I'm probably making Mt. Everest out of a small mole hill, but....Thanks,

2500 hours on my NH and approaching 100 hours on my RK55 mostly with off-road diesel. Over the years, I have occasionally used on-road diesel when it was cheaper. Believe it or not, I unnecessarily was worried that the on-road stuff was gonna cause more harm without the red dye...silly me...

Not sure about other states. Here in Indiana, you can file for fuel tax refund with the state Dept of Revenue. Just have to keep your receipts. There are a few place near me that sell off road diesel, but it is the same price as going to regular fuel station and probably old fuel.

Should be no problem. HOWEVER, the only time I ever bought off road, I ended up with a wax separation issue. Wax globs precipitated out and partly plugged the outlet of the diesel tank. Exxon actually took it back.

I was buying onroad because I wanted to be able to top off our diesel car with it. Don't have a diesel car now, but still buying onroad.

Every state may be different, but in Indiana, if you buy regular road fuel for your tractor, keep your receipt, you can file for a tax refund. In my area, I can get road diesel cheaper and then get a refund of the road tax. I don't use enough to justify getting a 100 gallon or bigger tank to have it delivered cheaply.

FYI, I just pumped 106 gallons of off-road #2 diesel for $172. My local pumps are usually pretty close to $3/gal. This is central Indiana.

I wish. Two stations by me with off road are just as much as the local fuel stations.
