California does a fuel check regularly. That is because of all the agriculture in California.

Being in a bus, and the type tank "neck" involved, you are probably safe from the tax man, but in those states where they check particulate emissions...like California...you will get hung. Red dyed diesel has a chemical in it, that purposely emits heavier particulates (that is the black smoke) now.

Part of the penalty for tax evasion can include losing the vehicle.

As far as buying "reefer fuel" at the pumps........more power to you.

IT"S NOT "GAS", IT'S DIESEL FUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Around here they dip tanks randomly too, if they find red fuel, you're screwed! It doesn't take much red fuel to turn an entire tankful "illegal".
Don't do it!!!!!!!!!

There are NO additives put into diesel fuel that increase particulate emissions.

IRC Sec. 6715 (1) shows a minimum fine of $1000 or $10 per gallon, whichever is higher.
