a guy i know ran out of fuel getting off the freeway to get fuel here in wi and had a auxilary tank in the back of his truck with offroad fuel in it so he dumped about a gal of fuel in his tank just to get him to the gas station when he got to the gas station a cop pulled in right behind him he filled up the truck about 40 gal of fuel the cop waited till he filled it then walked over to test his tank because he watched him dump the gal of fuel in and gave him a huge ticket and made him drain the tank befor he could drive the truck

 

You okay bro? Seems like you are rather butthurt over my joke, last time i checked and it hasnt been that long, shop classes work with wood. the auto classes work on autos. Its a joke, read all the lines and remember its going to be okay my new friend!! hahaha

 

Now thats a cop that needs a good *** kicking, i hope that one day he runs out of gas and that guy gets to drive by him with the middle finger out the window. Man that is just stupid.

 

oh i agree i would have not been too happy it was just to get him to the gas station i know if i was a cop i would just let that one go because i have been there but ok your gonna give me a ticket do it befor i dump 40 gal of good fuel in while you sit there and watch me

 

I think i would have fought that one in court, laws be damned i would have tried!

 

Your word is worthless against a band of brothers in blue!

They need a band wide whoop! Jeez i know what you mean but that is crazy. I am getting the cardlock for columbia fuels soon and i will have access to marked gas and diesel, reg diesel, bio diesel and lubes. Pretty decent savings and worth it in the long run for sure! Now i have to resist the urge to load the tank with marked diesel! I havent seen any checks anywhere and DOT has to see it, these guys only "reccomend" you dont.

 

I live in farming country. The DOT checks here once or twice a year, and some dimwhit always tries to run off road fuel. Last summer it was a guy I know. The high fuel prices where killing him last summer, so he ran off-road in his wheat truck. Very bad idea...........He paid a $10,000 fine, Court costs, attny fees, and the towing, and impound fees for his semi. It is just not worth the risk!

 

yeah but it is tempting, hahaha i would never take the risk but i might throw some marked gas in the motorcycle and van! hahaha

 

But they've never said a thing about the biodiesel that I run.............Course it looks just like regular diesel..........

 

I would not put it past the brothers in blue to set all day and all night just watching the pumps for cheaters!

Does anybody know what the fine is for running pure waste vegetable oil which is an un taxed fuel?

 

Sorry, I did not get the shop,auto class thing.
I thought you meant that middle school auto class students could not rebuilt a motor.
nice to have you as a friend!

 

In theory it could be the same crime if it is indeed illegal in your state. Untaxed fuel is untaxed fuel either way.

 

It all varies from state to state. Here in Oregon "Homebrew" biodiesel is exempt from state taxes (.24/gal) Federal tax (.24/gal) is owed on the amount used over 400 gal/ quarter ( 3 months)

"off-road" fuel, for construction, logging, farming, etc, is TAX FREE!
