Subtract the federal and state taxes. Sometimes the taxes per gallon are posted on the pump.

I think that's already been answered a few times.
I'm also curious, I only know of one fuel station around here that sells off road diesel. I wonder why anyone can just pull up and buy it without having to prove what their putting it in.
I also heard home heating oil can be used to run a diesel truck. Maybe not a 6.0 but a diesel truck.

Tyler you would probably have to show proof to buy the fuel, I dont think just anybody can get it down there.
Tyler you wrote that you know of a place , when you get a chance why not go down there & see if you can buy some..................but dont buy any.

If you're worried about contaminents then filter the fuel thru a funnel screen

Anyways, when I buy fuel for their machines, I am just thinking why instead of buying regular diesel, buy the off road fuel and actually put it in off road machines. I'm gonna try it next time I'm getting diesel for a machine see what happens.

If thats the case then you are using the wrong funnel, I have one that WILL NOT let water thru it.

I buy red diesel for my diesel farm tractor all the time. I drive to the "off road diesel pump and fill my cans that are in the bed of the truck. The off road diesel pumps have no pay at the pump provision so everyone must go into the store and pay. Everyone must sign a sheet that the fuel is for off road use only. And we pay state tax on it. I think 'off road' is about $.30/gal cheaper.
Back after Katrina and the refineries were in shutdown mode here in the southeast, all fuels were hard to get, road taxed, non road taxed so the federal government issued the ok to "run what you can get, we're not checking right now."
