"Just curious as to what 'Premium diesel is?" Years ago a few stations in New England offered Premium Diesel - It was dyed red and there were noticeable differences. My 1983 6.2 GMC pickup produced 120 HP, and while towing a 3 ton travel trailer mileage and performance was better.I'm not sure what made the fuel better, but it was, at least from my experience.
Dyed Red is NOT 'premium diesel' fuel........it is NON-HWY Fuel that is NOT TAXED.
By law, this dyed gas is only for use in off-road vehicles, such as farm tractors, heavy construction equipment, and generators.
If dye is found in an on-road vehicle, the penalties can run into the thousands of dollars.
