Red vs. Green Fuel

Smokin 6.0 · Jun 12, 2020

Got a 6.7 for the farm.. all stock... curious if I’d hurt anything running red fuel through it ? I’m sure this has been discussed before but I couldn’t find anything on it. Thank you

You’re seriously asking that publicly???

He said Farm. Hard as it is to believe there are still folks who use trucks for strictly work only.

Yea I am..... it’s a FARM truck. Farm Plates, Farm Insurance.. all I want to know is if it’s gunna hurt anything if left all stock.

I wouldnt do it for the main reason these trucks were never designed to run on anything except ULSD.

harrelljr99 · Jun 12, 2020

It’s all ULSD

As said its all ulsd now days... Its red only to identify it wasnt taxed so just a red dye.... If the truck always stays on private land you can run it all day long... But I know in some areas if you step on a public road you can be fined even if you have farm plates... So if you plan on running to town for some supplies you could be breaking the law.. I would look through your counties rules before risking that fine.

Anyways you can run it with no ill effect.

Again, all the same fuel.

Short awnser will it hurt the truck no. Same fuel just dyed. If you get caught on a public road you could be fined. Will you be caught... In alot of places probably not

Same fuel. Different dye. Red diesel is not taxed. Hence why it's cheaper and you can get fined if caught on road with it.

Sorry boys I thought the red stuff was off road diesel and not Ultra Low Sulfur. Always a good day when you learn something.

There’s not gonna any officers around anyway after “they” defund them all. You might get checked if your dirty farm truck is at the Red Lobster parking lot at 8 pm on a Friday though.

The red stuff is off road diesel, that's why you get in trouble for running it on road.

Oh ok. But there is physically no difference in the fuel? All just tax related? I had figured it was less refined

This is EXACTLY why I said what I said. Public forum, public roads... If it’s 100% on private land, you can do what you want. Doesn’t matter what plates are on it if it’s off private land. It’s a titled vehicle and subject to “on road” laws.

I’d never publicly state I’d run off road fuel in a titled vehicle... EVER!!!!!

Just make sure you got a bag of feed or some other farm supply or equipment in the bed.

It won’t hurt a damn thing. Only reason it’s red is because the fuel needs to be a different color to show it’s not taxed. It’s exactly the same damn fuel.
