Dyed fuel can still be used in cars and trucks if off road - as long as there were not designed for low-sulfur only (like some new ones) and you have the correct dyed fuel.
As I stated previously - there are two types of dyed diesel now - and only one is being allowed to be sold for use in off-road use. This took place in June of this year. Before that - the red dyed "heating oil" could be used in cars, trucks, tractors, etc. if not on a public highway - with one exception. It was NOT allowed to be used in a newer diesel that was designed for ultra-low sulfur fuel only. Now, one dyed fuel is for heating oil only - and an other lower-sulfur dyed fuel is allowed for off-road heavy equipment, cars, trucks, tractors, etc.
Here's some of the data from the Feds:
From June 1, 2007 through September 30, 2010: "High Sulfur Dyed Non-road, Locomotive, or Marine Engine Diesel fuel-sulfur content may exceed 500 ppm sulfur. Not for use in highway vehicles or engines. Not for use in any non-road engines requiring Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel
For heating oil produced or imported beginning June 1, 2007: "Heating Oil. Not for use in highway vehicles or engines or nonroad, locomotive, or marine engines."
EPA does not regulate the sulfur content of heating oil. However, with the exception of areas of the Northeast and Mid- Atlantic regions of the U.S. and Alaska, all heating oil will contain a marker (solvent yellow 124) to insure that it does not get diverted to the off-road pool of fuel. Thus, marketers will have to take care to segregate heating oil from non-road fuel in storage, transportation, etc
