It is the same stuff as the non-low sulfur diesel (500-1500 ppm sulfur). The only reason it is dyed red is to designate that it is for off-road use only, the fuel is not taxed, and is usually 50-75 cents cheaper a gallon. It's only illegal if you get caught. But when you get caught, it's REALLY" illegal. $5000+

Locally it is a $10,000 fine for running offroad diesel on the roads. Unless your an exempt farmer, all it takes is a 30 sec dip of the tank, and that tank became the most expense free fuel in your life!! Are you a gamblin' man??!!
