I copied this off of a cattle forum.

"Just a note to anyone that might be using Dyed Diesel fuel in their onroad trucks. Or any trucks that might be licensed. DON'T take a chance.
Back in August my truck broke down and a rollback hauled it back here from KY and dropped it off at a garage to have a transmission replaced. The next day the DOT checked several trucks there and I had red fuel in mine. The truck was not seen on the road and it could not be driven at the time but it doesnt seem to matter becaused it was licensed. Got the fine yesterday and it was $2,000. The truck had a 35 gal tank and that was $1,000 and I had an empty farm tank on the back that is 27 gal and because it was a storage tank (even though it was empty and had been for months) I get charged another $1,000 for that.
Surely I am not the only dummy on here that has been caught. Worst thing is that was the first tank of red fuel I had ued in probably 10 years."
