Minimum Purchase of Off-Road Desiel?

[Joe1]

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

Minimum quantity of dyed diesel that I can buy is the smallest amount the pump can register--one cent.

Bet you'll get it then..</font>

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.

Cheers.....Coffeeman

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

It doesn't matter what you or I believe. What matters it what the law says.
