Can you run red fuel in a dodge pickup off road diesel?

Question

dodge truck is a stock 5.9 HO diesel
used off road. 2006 vintage!

Answer 1

If your question is can you run agriculture diesel in your truck the answer is yes, but it is illegal. The reason it is red it to tell the difference from commercially sold diesel. If you get caught you can face stiff fines. The difference is the road tax that farmers are exempt from when buying AG diesel.

The Environmental Protection Agency mandates use of a red dye to identify high-sulfur fuels for off-road use. Solvent Red 26 is used here as a standard, though it is often replaced with Solvent Red 164, similar to Solvent Red 26 but with longer alkyl chains. The Internal Revenue Service mandates use of the same red dyes, in fivefold concentration, for tax-exempt diesel fuels; their argument for the higher dye content is to allow detection even when diluted with "legal" fuel. Detection of red-dyed fuel in the fuel system of an on-road vehicle will incur substantial penalties.

Answer 2

I have an 06 F350 with the 6.0 also. First off, its illegal, you have been told that and you probably already knew. The authorities can dip your tank and find the dyed diesel even after you filled with a couple of tankfull of regular diesel, it does not go away that easy. Also if you go in for repairs at the dealer, if your dealer removes your fuel filter it will be dyed and you might run into problems with warranty being denied. With that said and you still don't care and want to run it. Ask your fuel supplier what is the fuel you are putting in, if its dyed diesel you're OK. If its furnace oil or stove oil you might have to add an additive like Stanadyne, Diesel Power or Howes for more lubricity. You can also use Mercon 3 transmission oil or even better you can use 2 cycle mixing oil (the snowmobile high performance one - you may even see mpg gains) can be used to add lubricity. I do drive with dyed diesel sometimes but don't make a habit of it. So to answer your question, yes, you can run it but it is illegal.

Answer 3

I have seen some loggers using red dye diesel on there pick-ups Ford Powerstrokes and Dodge Cummin's diesels with no issues. Some logging contractors even have there tidy tanks hooked up to the main fuel line and have a switch in the truck to run the red dye in the tidy tank and shut it off and use the non-dye diesel in the factory tank when they are running on the highways.

As other's stated it is illegal to run red dyed diesel on highways and roadways.

Answer 4

It is illegal once your on the road. Rumor has it some trucks won't start because they have a "eye" in the fuel that senses red die fuel. I'm not sure I buy that considering symply putting Marvel Mystery oil in your fuel turns it red. But i'm not for sure. I'd run red die in my diesel because the law doesn't really seem to care much around here; on top of that, the fines around here aren't stiff either. It depends heavily on where you live.
