Dyed Diesel also known as Off Road Diesel

What is Dyed Diesel Fuel?

Dyed diesel, also known as red diesel or off-road diesel, is a type of fuel used primarily for non-highway vehicles and equipment, including construction machinery, agricultural equipment, generators, and commercial marine vessels. It is chemically identical to regular diesel but contains a red dye (typically added under IRS regulations) to distinguish it from taxable on-road diesel.

Dyed diesel is tax-exempt and intended for off-road use only, making it a cost-effective solution for businesses that rely on heavy-duty equipment. Using dyed diesel for on-road vehicles is illegal and can result in hefty fines.
