I knew I should have expected some cracks. All in fun. I was just wondering if it was truley possible. One could hope. I have heard that you could put it in a white plastic drum and the sun would bleach it out. That would probably break down the diesel. I know that plastic drums sweat. I don't need water in my diesel.

A place to start would be to find out what type of dye and what the chemical makeup of the dye is that is added to the diesel. Once you know those things further research may lead you to how to get rid of it. I would think the red color would come from a solid pigment, microscopic red particles suspended in the dye.
I'm no chemist.
I do think that it would probably be more trouble than its worth.

Sure there's a way - spend $10K on a nice huge filter assembly, pump, and everything else you'd need.
Either that, or put bleach in it.
After pondering that, you can take the $10K you would spend on a new motor and buy LEGAL DIESEL.
