Thought of that too. Sounds iffey I heard they can swab the tail pipe and tell what you are burning. If HHO ever becomes ULSD I guess the swab test wont work any more.
really doesn't matter with the dye they still have the burden of proof to prove its Off-road fuel. there are plenty of other things that can be added to fuel that are red.

True.
BUT!!!
You better have a lot of time and money to waste for the fight.
BTW- Swab test is real. Next down the pike is a sniffer at toll booths.
lets see...8 mpg, $1 less/gallon. but, they do swab at the stockyard while you are inside selling cattle. and, on the way to sell tobacco they have road blocks and swab every diesel sometimes. but, by the same token i have a buddy who farms down here, lives in michigan much of the time. for about 5 years he has been running nothin but farm fuel and is back and forth all the time and never caught!
if americans werent all whimps we would in theory find out how much they have invested per gallon, pay a percentage above that and drive off =) who want to be the guinnea pig?

i realy have a hard time beliving 8mpg increase unless there was somthing realy wrong with the fuel he had in his tank before or other things that changed as well. 2-3 mpg would be beliveable 5 would be a big strech but could maby buy that if going from #1 usld to #2 offroad 500ppm.
I dont know about the swab test but i know for a fact they will get your fuel filter out and guess what it will be red and then let the fun begin!!!!!
Thats not true at all,,,,,,,, run off road and your filter will look just like your on road filter wet oily and smelly but no red color,,,,,,,,,,, btw Ive been working for home heat oil companys for more than 20 years and have changed many many home heat oil filters and none have ever been red stained with red dye,,,,,,,,,,, thats 100% BS, red filter ha lol......... not only that I run 2 psd and had 1 6.9 and never at a dot inspection have they dipped my tanks and yes I know they can, but they just never have as for the swab test and the pull the filter test I bet they are both bs Ive never ever heard that kinda stuff not even here in N.Y. an over regulated police state............
