Biodiesel B20 or B100 is not dyed. It is taxed for road use for highway
maintenance if you buy it at the retailer. If you make it yourself it would
also be non dyed and at the present it is ignored. Diesel #2 dyed fuel runs
fine in the truck. It is just the EPA and IRS issues that arise. Sulphur
and taxes.

So what about the guys running bio diesel? Do they dye that?

I know a contractor who fueled a small fleet of service trucks w/ heating
oil. What are the pluses and minuses (other than legal) of operating that
in a diesel?

Someone on the list, maybe Bjorn, is mixing veg oil w/ diesel. I wonder how
the power is w/ that combination.
