Welcome to the forum! I know here in Idaho, the county runs it in the school buses and trucks. Personally, I've never known someone to be pulled over and have their tank dipped unless you had a slip tank or something that might raise suspision. If you have farm plates, I'd be inclined to say run the off road, but I just don't know for your area.

Welcome to TF.
Heard if caught the fines can be stiffleast in state of NH,I would contact your state DMV etc. for the facts...also get the person name even better something written.

Red Diesel, affectionately called "pink diesel", has both Fed and State tax exemption. Major fine-able no-no in any state. As for the local government, if I was a taxpayer, I would insist that they show me the Federal exemption paperwork. After all, it is my taxes that will pay their fine!

Once off road (red) fuel is in the tank it will take a few tanks to get rid of the dye. Even then a person can still get in trouble if caught. More than likely you could get away with it. How many people are driving without insurance or even a license. We'll never know. Most don't get caught.

I've heard for years about the stiff fines ($10,000 supposedly) for running red #2 on the highways. That said, I've never been dipped in my '95 Dodge/Cummins even though I've got a very visible aux. tank in the bed.
