Correct. The dye helps the "Do Right Boys" find people who use non taxed fuel in vehicles. Over here, "you in a heap a trouble boy", if you get caught.

You might want to spend a little time perusing the operators TM.

I would just remember that modern diesel and heating oils are low sulfur fuels, otherwise known as low lubricity fuels, so adding diesel fuel additives are essential for longer engine life. Personally, I would not run a pre-ULSD engine on modern ULSD fuels without lubricity additives.

All the best,

OptiLube! There is an old thread (probably 8 years now) detailing the tests done with a number of different additives, look for it.

It is what I use (OptiLube Summer+), but bear in mind that the some (most?) of the lubricity comes from biodiesel, and biodiesel itself is prone to oxidizing into gummy deposits... There's been a bit written on the quality of the testing, but I don't have a horse in that race.

All the best,
