Dipped Tank…
I’ve been driving a tdi and diesel cars/trucks for 15 years now and I’ve never had my tank dipped for the strawberry koolaid flavor diesel…
Has anyone had their tank dipped for untaxed fuel?… |

Doesn’t it color the tailpipe and they catch you that way?

It all burns the same.
In the UK, they’ll run it through kitty litter to remove the dye. |

Once near my house in Vermont, I filled my F250PSD with dyed diesel because I sometimes am an idiot...
I don't think you have a thing to worry about.....I think they only check long haul truckers at weigh stations etc.. I think.. An errant or mistaken fill up (like I did) shouldn't be a problem

I sometimes throw in a quart of ATF fluid into the tank it's a great injector cleaner . If I was ever tested I wonder if I would be considered to be a cheater due to the red color of the ATF fluid?

I have never heard of any non commercial vehicles being checked for dyed fuel .
Just a few weeks ago, I saw my bud with his truck sitting at the off road pumps filling up . I got a little chuckle. I bought 15 gallons on Saturday to fill my backhoe. It ended up only taking about 9, the rest went into my dually . Oh, and I also run atf or 2 stroke oil regularly I would not dare chance it with the tow trucks though .

I have heard a few guys were caught around here about 20 years ago. They were driving dodge diesels with Farm Use tags.
