Yep, you are right - it's the same hose - however, the hose is flushed out. Here the tax is 45.4 cents (state and fed), my hose holds about 20 gallons. If I just put that in with the red without flushing, I just lost $9 for 1 minute of work. The dealer HAS NO CHOICE but to charge you tax for clear fuel, the fed tax is charge to him up front, and in many cases so is the state tax. We also can't let the red get in the clear (and make a little extra). If a customer would get caught with any dyed in their diesel vehicle, the DOT of whoever can ultimately come back to the dealer (if it was his mistake). It takes only 2 gallons of dyed fuel in 1000 gallons of clear fuel to contaminate the sample. I have no idea how much of the federal tax goes towards the road system, but here, 13 cents of the 21 cents state tax goes towards the roads.
