I don't think the dyed has gone USLD yet. When I'm in NY I buy my fuel at the Indian's place of business exclusively. They have 4 pump's, 1 green diesel, and the other 3 dyed. I'm not going to say in public which one I choose to use, but the green pump is labeled USLD and the other 3 aren't. So figure it out for yourself.

No, it is not the exact same thing as heating oil. Close, and will work in a pinch but I would not use it exclusively without figuring out what kind of additives it needs to protect the injector's.

They check at different times around here. I can't use dyed because I carry a transfer tank with a pump on it. That is a flag for them to check.

Yes they do have a swab to check. They can open the fill cap and rub it with a swab and tell if you are using off road. The fine is 10,000 dollars.
With that said, after the storm Rita, all we could get was off road diesel. The goverment said it was ok for us to use it for a period of time. They gave us so many months to blend it out. But we still paid taxes for it because it was going through the fuel stations around here.

The off-road diesel surely is the same as taxed diesel except for the dye and possibly not being the new ULSD since this is used in all sorts of diesel equipment with probably more sofisticated engines, injectors, etc. than our PSD's.
