RK Diesel Fuel

[cvestes]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what type of fuel is acceptable to use in RK Tractors?
My basic question is, "Can I order and use "red" farm diesel for my RK and not harm the tractor or void the warranty?"

Thanks!

The only difference with the "red" fuel is they added dye.

Very good...thanks for the replies.

Diesel fuel color is tied to how it is taxed.

Thanks again for the replies.
In my state, what you say..."Diesel fuel color is tied to how it is taxed."...is not historically the case.
Here, farm fuel has not been traditionally forced to the same EPA Rules as "highway" fuel.
That being said, I do appreciate you confirming that "red diesel" is now ultra low sulfur fuel, same as "highway" fuel...simply taxed differently.
Great responses and I am happy to have it confirmed that I can use "red diesel" (lower taxed) and not void my RK warranty.

Thanks!
