Hi there bbse

Your right about the civil servants. And don't spill a 1/2 a gallon of the diesel on the ground. Fire trucks, DEP and about 5 guys in rubber suits will show up. They will burn 100 gallon of fuel and use a couple trees worth of paper filling up forms, all in the interest of stopping pollution.

<font color="blue">He even had a licensed farm pickup. However, he was using for personal. They tagged him and he ended up having to convert his license to normal as he did use his truck for personal usage also.
</font>

I used to run farm plates on a pick up with a slide in camper on it.
All I had to do was always have some sort of produce in it such as a small basket of tomatoes or a few ears of corn etc.to prevent getting ticked for non farm use.
Never was stopped for anything however.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Anyone know how the Red Dye Diesel Emergency Exemption due to Hurricane Katrina is handled now after the fact?

I remember reading Red Dyed Fuel was permitted during the Disaster Declaration for all vehicles... <font color="red"> so what do you do now if the risidual dye shows on your over the road vehicle? </font> )</font>
According to what i just read on the chevron site,that in itself is illegal

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I was riding to work one day in West Virginia in my gasser, and there was a checkpoint just like the sobriety checkpoints. There was a big sign that said ALL DIESEL VEHICLES STOP AHEAD. Glad i didn't drive my truck that day. Not that i run any red diesel.
I do however cut my diesel with Kerosene in the winter which will show a slight red tint. I wonder how that is handled???? )</font>There was a big sign that said ALL DIESEL VEHICLES STOP AHEAD.
*****************
So how can they tell if a pick up that drives right on by without stopping is a diesel or not?

I've been driving for 49 years and have never seen a sign like that.
