If so, it is a state or county thing - and not Federal. There is certainly no such thing here in New York.
A farmer-friend had a funny thing happen last year. He runs farm fuel in his trucks and claims he has the right since he uses agriculure plates (I think he's wrong). He'd been using dyed fuel in his 95 Dodge Cummins for years with no problems. Then, he bought a new Chevy Duramax. First day he got it home - he filled it with farm fuel - and as soon as he did it - it would not go any faster than 15- 20 MPH. It went into some sort of computerized "limp mode." So, he drove to the local Chevy dealer and starting screaming at the salesman about the new, over $40,000 crappy truck. Well, the salesman took him aside and told him that the Duramax has a sensor that does not allow certain fuels - and thus the limp-mode. The Chevy guys are supposed to report this - in order to void the warranty. So, all was kept quiet - and my friend no longer uses dyed fuel in his Duramax. He also lets it sit home at lot, and uses his older Dodge Cummins instead.

Awhile back - during hurricane Katrina - George Bush announced that Louisana residents were allowed to used dyed diesel for highway use, due to a fuel shortage. I wonder how that all worked out?
