Burning Off Road Fuel?

Hey maybe he knows something nobody else knows. I mean, I got a friend that was running that red dyed fuel in his PowerStroke, when his power steering hose blew. Then his airconditioner in his house took a crap. Then his girlfriend got pregnant. So you see, that red fuel can clog filters, cause power steering hoses to fail, make your home A/C take a dump and get your girlfriend pregnant. Based on all of these apparent results of running that red fuel, I don't know why anyone would even think of taking the chance. Truly bad stuff.

I have been around big equipment most of my life 50 years, and he is full of it. the fuel will not do any filter cloging on a dozer. Maby he is using a crap tank to haul fuel in but the fuel itself is not doing it. KB

Yes, dyed diesel is to destinguish the same fuel for tax exemtion purposes. I'm a HD mechanic at an industrial diesel engine rebuild shop. And all of our engines are dyno run before leaving the shop. We have our own free standing 300 gallon fuel tank and we only burn dyed fuel, because it's tax exempt, because an engine on a dyno cart isn't exactly "street legal". But these guys got you straightened out.......... dirt in and around a D9's filter......... no........... who'd a thunk it.......that's why filters are there.

The "dyed" off road fuel is more often than not also high sulpher content.

True, because the machines that use it aren't subject to the same emissions regulations that class 8 highway tractors are.
