Off-Road Diesel
What is Off-Road Diesel?
Off-road diesel is also known as dyed diesel, ultra-low sulfur diesel, and farm diesel. It is intended for vehicles, machinery, and equipment that don’t typically operate on public roads, such as those in the construction and agricultural industries. It is not taxed, so it tends to be cheaper than on-road (clear) diesel. It’s also illegal to use in on-road vehicles, like consumer cars.
Why is it Red?
Because off-road diesel is state and federally tax-exempt, it is dyed red so it is distinguishable from on-road (clear) diesel. It makes it easier for governing bodies to identify it for tax-purposes.
With 3L, you get high-quality dyed diesel delivered directly to you, regardless of where your truck fleet, generator, or job site is at.
What Are Some Industries That Use Off-Road Diesel?
Diesel powers many vehicles, from every-day trucks, school buses, trains, and even boats. But vehicles that don’t operate on public roads use off-road diesel. Some of the most common industries using dyed-diesel include railroad, agriculture, construction, mining, and carnivals and county fairs. Generators also primarily use off-road diesel.
Off-road diesel is often used in construction equipment such as cranes, bobcats, bulldozers, backhoes, and generators.
Similar to the construction industry, the mining industry uses off-road diesel in their equipment and machinery.
County Fairs and Carnivals
Carnivals and county fairs can used red diesel because they are not transporting anything on public roads.
