Red Dye Diesel

What is it?

Red-Dyed Diesel is just another term for Off-road diesel. Fuel that contains this dye marks it for off-road equipment or vehicles, which excludes it from having road fuel taxes added in the price.

What is it commonly used for?

Red-dye diesel fuels machinery and off-road vehicles in the construction and farming industries. It is highly illegal to use red-dyed diesel in on-road vehicles, such as consumer cars.

Why is red diesel dyed red?

Red diesel is dyed because of its tax-exemption. In short, the reason that red diesel is tax exempt is so that off-road equipment can get jobs done cheaper to help the economy. The fuel is dyed for identification purposes so that consumers cannot put the tax-free fuel in their cars.
What vehicles can use red diesel?
Anything from harvesters for farms to bulldozers – there’s actually a wide variety of vehicles that can take advantage of the tax-exemption that red dyed diesel provides. In the Agricultural industry, it is common to see harvesters, tractors, or other heavy equipment use this fuel. Similarly, in the Construction industry it is common to see this red diesel in cranes, bobcats, bulldozers, generators, and even backhoes. It isn’t uncommon to see red diesel in other industries as well, such as mining, or aviation – so long as the assets are not using public roads.
What is the difference between off-road diesel and on-road diesel?
On-road diesel refers to the fuel that powers everyday vehicles that drive on public roads, hence on-road. Any vehicle that is licensed for use on roads by the US is required by law to use on-road diesel fuel, which is most commonly found at gas stations.
What is the difference between clear and dyed diesel?
Clear diesel is commonly used to fuel on-road vehicles that can be seen throughout the US. This kind of diesel is for everyday vehicles such as trucks, SUVs, and cars. One of the main differences is that clear diesel is taxable.

Red-dyed diesel is actually dyed the color red to show that the fuel in question is meant to be used for off-road vehicles, meaning that it is tax-exempt fuel.
