Mad is absolutely correct about the Federal Tax. It's "TAX OR DYE" and has been for years.

<font color="blue"> The attendent wouldn't sell it to me unless I purchased twenty-six gallons. She told me it was federal law and that the parent company of the station was recently fined $18,000 for violating the law. </font>
<font color="red"> I'd go back when she's not there. Sounds like you got someone who don't know what they're doing.
Bet you'll get it then..</font>

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I too think she's confused. My local fuel dealer has no minimum.

But there are laws at both the state and federal level that say you can't drive that vehicle on public ways once you put dyed and untaxed fuel in it.

That's right and it's also why I don't believe they have the authority to dip your tank at auctions stock sales or any where else a vehicle is not on a state or US highway.

Wow! Did I get a wake up ... or what. I thought I just entered the twilight zone. I thought we had posters from Iran or something. I was reading this thread from the first post and see fuel prices .99 to 1.39. What the heck is going on? Then it hit me. The posts were from 01 or 02. A few minutes ago half asleep at the computer. Wide awake now.

Just one of the many 'benefits' when someone is so kind to open up a thread that's almost 5 years old.
