salmandmx 08-17-2007, 01:05 PM Anyone tried running red fuel in the New LMM yet? Here in Arkansas where it's around $2500 fine.... I'll pass! But if it's ULSD then it's ok to run OFFROAD! gmcya 08-17-2007, 01:06 PM red yellow blue green it is all the same as long as it is ulsd. hawkeye680 08-17-2007, 02:20 PM New to diesel here, but why is it less expensive? It is less refined? If it is, then could it even be ULSD? Thanks. gmcya 08-17-2007, 02:37 PM No road tax applied. If you get caught cheating uncle sam outta some pennies you gonna get burnt!! Off road use only ie. construction, farm equip etc. BTW why the hell do I pay road tax for gas in my boat:mad: ! roblrobl 08-17-2007, 02:39 PM Less tax on the off-road fuel A.K.A. "farm fuel" Thus making it illegal to run in your truck if you are not a farmer and the truck is not being used for farm use. hawkeye680 08-17-2007, 03:50 PM Oh, ok, so it can still be ULSD then. Oh, and as far as my boat is concerned, the road taxes hurt less than the marina taxes. They have really lost their minds. Duramaximumcrap 08-17-2007, 05:57 PM The chances of a resi truck getting checked are next to none. I ran it for 6 years in my last truck but I think the off road diesel is still high sulfur which would be a big NO NO because it would plug your dpf if it is high sul. pwrdbycotn 08-17-2007, 07:04 PM Yes, for about 11,000 miles now. Of course, I have removed my DPF and cat so it doesn't matter to me. I burn at least a tank of fuel a day so the savings are substantial. Nathan Muthler 08-19-2007, 04:39 PM I run it for farm use in my dads Dmaxs. I havent tried it yet in the new LMM and just wondered if anyone has. Uncle Sam gets enough of my tax money,I work for him so I can say how greedy he is. In Pa I can run red fuel in Ag equipment,also our farm trucks. Not trying to do anything illegal just trying to save some money where I can,like everyone else. h10doc 08-20-2007, 06:16 PM Yes, for about 11,000 miles now.

What is the DPF ? xgardx 08-20-2007, 06:49 PM What is the DPF ? Diesel Partical Filter, basically just a big soot trap in the exhaust systems on the new 07.5 and up diesel engines to meet the 2010 emission standards. It traps all the soot, then the engine goes into a "regeneration mode" when its near capacity to burn off all the garbage it collected. thejdman04 08-20-2007, 07:50 PM until 2010 off road fuel may be lsd Most of the time "red" off road fuel is usld w/dye because distribuation line etc make it easier to just dye usld and not cotaminate any of it. | ||
