Red-dyed diel esel

[Denny Smith]

Hi y'all. Where's the thinking at regardig using #1 red-dyed diesel (BX2380), with additive for winter use? Is there a consensus from current users? Muchas Gracias mi amigos.

Red dyed is 100% the same as on road ........ just the red dye is the difference.

AND - the red diesel is "off road" diesel - not taxed as gas is for highway use.

In your cold climate - a dose of additive is highly recommended - you pick any you think will keep from gelling.

There is Zero difference between regular diesel and red dye diesel.
Yes, you want to treat your fuel with a Biocide and cetane booster and antigel for winter use.

Thx all. My only other concern is: I put in the water-vapor fuel filter and new fuel lines. Does the red dye mess with filter to the point that I can't visually tell if I have water (It's K's "L" filter)?

Nope, still works the same.

I would not know where to purchase it. I looked around and even though we're in the middle of farm area in that NW IL/Stateline area distributors that list it only want to deliver to large on site tanks

My closest distributor said they would bring out a tank for free for them to fill. Might call and ask if yours would do the same.
