Do the revenuers just dip tanks in the East, South, and mid West? I have never herard of this being done in the West, but I am going to start running Red Diesel in my genset.

Does it make glow in the dark smoke come out of the exhaust pipe?Wouldn't it be FUN to add some GLOW-IN-THE-DARK dye to your fuel
So you lied?Fifteen years ago while running my rig through a Missouri DOT check point got caught with red dye in my fuel tanks. I admit here that I poured it in because the lubrication was good for my older truck. Dot jackbooted thugs were all over me with fines and such. I went to court with this defense. "Your Honor, I spent the night at this truck stop down the road and since my fuel tanks don't lock, someone played a dirty trick on me and poured something red into my tank". Case dismissed.
I haven't seen one in awhile but they used to have fuel check roadblocks and would dip every diesel truck going down the road. I also had my truck checked at a construction site, he checked every diesel truck on the site. Then there was a couple times they've stopped at my business and checked all our diesel trucks. The times he stopped at my business he asked permission to check the trucks. I didn't have anything to hide so I told him to go ahead. I have no idea what would have happened if I refused.What kind of trucks do the DOT guys stop? Only bigger trucks like tractor trailers, deuces and 5 tons?
Would I be at risk for getting stopped and my tank dipped in my M1009 just because its a diesel?
Can they just stop you for any reason? Wouldn't you have to make a moving violation, speeding, or another reason for them to stop you?
Now THAT would be the icing on the cake!!!Does it make glow in the dark smoke come out of the exhaust pipe?
Sounds like Uncle Sam just trying to swindle people out of money.
I'm not using tranny fluid anymore after reading all this.
It's up to you to prove you paid taxes , black fuel would most likely be considered un-taxed without a blenders license and records of mileage and amount of blend fuel used . They would also want records of quarterly taxes being paid .So whats the law regarding how much of your fuel can be an additive? Even small amounts of used motor oil will turn your fuel black. I realize they are specificly looking for the red, but what would they say if it was black?
or tell them its just old. ive run some old diesel that was as black as any wmo mix.It's up to you to prove you paid taxes , black fuel would most likely be considered un-taxed without a blenders license and records of mileage and amount of blend fuel used .

Once they write the violation your telling the judge that and myself I will pay the taxes I owe , rather than commit prejury in court.or tell them its just old. ive run some old diesel that was as black as any wmo mix.
