I've not seen it here, except for commercial trucks checked by Texas DOT. But then again, I haven't seen off-road diesel anywhere around here either. You'd look pretty obvious driving up to a pump and filling your tank with red diesel, then driving off...

I see the Dippers al the time here, but mainly they stop the big ones or duelly's pulling a goose neck, but still no red diesel for me, just a little home brew bio. I wonder what would say about that.

I got check once in western Kansas. I swear the trooper say me fill up at a CO-OP station that sold both farm fuel and regular fuel and thought that I was cheating. Plus, having out-of-state plates, he figured he got me good. He literally pulled me over a 100' from the station and dipped the tank. No dye so no fine.

Yes our trucks will run on off-road diesel, but if you get caught be prepared to pay up. Apparently in some states they have a swap the run through the tail pipe that allows them to tell if you're running red fuel w/o dipping your tank or inspecting the filter.

I was at a pump that had both red and regular. I pulled out the wrong pump and inserted it before I caught myself. Filled up and walked away to pay. Came back and there was a cop waiting for me. He was wondering if I did go with the dyed fuel. Showed him the receipt and he left. So, they could be running a sting there.
