Testing for difference between diesel and heating oil.

Home heating oil has a colorant added to it and none of the taxes from state or federal added. P.

Around here (California) they refer to diesel with dye as "red dye diesel". It's put into diesel that is sold for off-road use....graders, tractors, etc., without that annoying road tax (about 48 cents per gallon here). On-road diesel vehicles are checked sometimes at weigh stations and some state boys sneak around to construction jobsites and check diesel trucks used by those grader drivers, etc. It's a $1,000 fine if you're caught. I've never heard of a car being stopped and checked for red dye diesel. That'd be a waste of their time since their chances of finding a culprit would be very slim.
