If it's a personal vehicle, they can't dip your tank. 4th amendment and all that.... it's been through the courts and upheld.

I may be suing CHP soon then...
Because I was Running #2 i dont mind, but if i get caught running Bio, which i will be soon, (maybe while forgetting to pay my road tax) that would be a good loophole. Is the Exhaust Swabbing protected with the fourth?

there is always the probable cause clause. if they see you rolling coal that would be enough to dip you for now, it wont be long until offroad diesel is the exact same make-up as on road again...(ulsd)

The only time I have seen colour fuel being used legally on the road is in a vacuum truck ,sewer flusher it was tagged as a road maintenance vehicle
you guys with farms can you register your trucks for farm use and if so can it be driven on the road ?
