1*There is no such thing as EPA or IRS Red.1*I have never heard of and EPA red. The red dye in diesel is just to catch people using off road diesel in on road trucks.
2*I believe off road diesel is the same as on road diesel only difference is the dye.
That's why you never heard about it
2*There is no such thing as on road VS off road diesel only taxed or untaxed fuel.
3*Actually it's plain ole diesel with a red dye in it .3*I recently started using dyed heating fuel in my tractor, and it seems to work just fine so far.
4*Is it just me, or does the dyed fuel smell different from regular road diesel?
4*It's just you as the dye has no smell.
5*Make that Federal and State Highway taxes.5*The red dye is used to indicate the fuel was sold federal road tax free as mentioned.
6*Kerosene is nearly the same as number 1 diesel less the additives typically use in diesel engines.
6*But it is not fit to run in a diesel engine.
7*That's correct Kerosene is for heaters not engines .7*Kerosene can be dyed red for off road uses (heaters mostly) and of course red dyed diesel also.
8*Im not sure why everyone keeps citing that died diesel has sulfur in it.
9*I checked with my supplier and their dyed diesel has the same sulfur rating as regular road diesel.
Its also a winter blend like regular diesel.
10* Its made to use in MODERN, NEW offroad engines like $250,000 dozers.
11*They have to have the ultra low sulfur fuels to operate.
8*Bcause they aren't up to date with what's going on.
Old ways are hard to change for some folks.
9*That's because they are both the same fuel.
10*You have this backwards.
The fuel was not created for the engines the engines were adapted to accept the fuel.
11*That's because they had to change the engines to fit the fuel not the other way around.
