Don't post this info in Club FTE, a whole lot of the peeps that hang out in there will have you tarred, feathered, and in front of a jury of your peers in no time flat.

That's good. I got written up (no fines had 15 days to correct and send in paper work) for expired medical card, expired inspection sticker, I spaced that one out big time, and no chock blocks. I had some nice aluminum ones but someone removed them from the truck, they left the chains there though, nice of them huh!

Red
I say if you got it run it. We pay way to much for taxes anyways. As long as you know the penalty and are willing to accept the risk, it's really nobody elses business. IMHO
There is a place about 30 minutes from my house that sells red at the pump. I have been thinking about going out there with a 55 gallon drum and filling her up!!
Take it easy,

Chocks?
What kind of laws do they have in Ted Kennedy/John Kerry land?

Strange ones.........LOL........Like gay marriage, diesel cars are illegal I think, the list probably goes on and on. It's a good place to stay away from.

How do they dip your tank? I have a screen in the tank that prevents anything but fuel to get in the tank (factory install)

When mine was dipped she just stuck some clear plastic tubing in the tank and pulled it back to see what color was on it.

This is an example of laws run amok. Here is a guy getting some free fuel, given to him, but it just happens to be red. No taxes have been evaded, since no financial transaction took place. And yet, the burden of proof is on HIM. If he gets pulled over and dipped, and it comes up red, he has committed a crime? Ridiculous.
I think someone needs to design a two-part tank, with a compartment that always has green diesel in the filler neck area, and a secret filler tube for the rest of the tank.

I've heard another one of those greedy NE states has some kind of swab that can be rubbed in the tail pipe and can tell if dyed fuel has ever been used. That one kind of scared me.
wow. I guess I'll consider myself real lucky that I have never been pulled over and "dipped". I live near a lot of agriculture, too...so you'd think they'd really be testing for it.
