I burn the kind you put in the pan on top of the stove.  No addatives.

There are a couple threads on here you can search for.

In some communities it is identical to #2 diesel except for tax & dye.

I tried searching before i posted the thread and i didn't find anything. I've also heard about useing a dye to make it close to pump diesel color.

I understand that, in the U.S., you can get up to $20,000
  fine for using the red-dyed stuff in a car, but I'm really
  not sure what the penalty is here in Canada. I guess I should
  find out.

  I know this will sound frivolous, but what would happen if you
  added a yellow dye, to make the oil orange and, then, claim
  it was coloured purely for aesthetic appeal...just a personal
  idiosyncrasy?

  Or, better still, add a black dye, in order to, better see (split
  infinitive, I know) the air bubbles?

i knew a  guy that got caught a couple years ago. He had a big tank in the bed of the truck. Around $400 fine.

it's actually impossible to grab a sample from the tank... it has a nice plastic mesh screen on it... (when i got into my accident i went to syphon out the FULL tank of fuel... didn't work too well...)

they would NEVER pull over a car to do a 'random' check.  unless they were suspicious, or received some kind of anonymous tip...

This is what i'm thinking. The diesel family has grown and i have a ford powerstroke diesel truck. Lets just say its not as economical as the td golf lol. Plus its an xtended cab fully loaded camper hauler. The guys i know that got caught were in work pick ups with tanks in the box with pumps.(suspicious)

search on furnace, here is the one I was thinking of:
http://vwdiesel.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=4943

Up North they used to spot check commercial trucks for dye as part of their periodic inspections.  Off road diesel is  available at most of the cardlocks so that guys can fill up their bulldozers and such without paying road tax.   I heard that some logging truckers used to have dual tanks, one with untaxed fuel for when they were off highway, one for highway.  I guess as long as your filter and IP didnt have dye in it when they pulled you over....

I wonder if 5 or 10% used diesel motor oil mixed in would obscure the dye?  

Has anyone ever heard of anyone being ticketed for WVO or SVO for the same reason of not having tax paid on it?

Thanks for the link.

pretty sure there is nothing they can do about bio diesel or veggie burners. Not sure what the used engine oil would do mixed with stove oil.

Thanks for all the responses.

On road fuel must pay taxes, and used oils are hazardous waste, so uness you have hazmat permits and have paid taxes, if you piss em off they can **** you pretty bad, but mostlly nobody cares.

In Europe fuel was mixed with acids to remove the red dye then resold on the black market

There are random spot checks, and they use a long ass straw that fits through the plastic grate most cars have.
