Texas Dyed Diesel Regulations

For off-road use vehicles only, this diesel can be purchased tax-free since it is not intended for vehicles operated on tax-funded roads. Due to its tax-free nature, states across the nation have extra requirements in order to purchase for both buyers and sellers. Texas has a strict set of requirements for off-road diesel purchases companies must follow.

Do I need a Texas-dyed diesel statement to purchase dyed diesel? Yes, if you are storing dyed diesel in a tank. No, if you are using dyed diesel in a generator or directly in equipment.

The Difference Between Clear and Dyed Diesel

Dyed diesel refers to off-road diesel sold in the United States. On the other hand, clear diesel is used by on-road vehicles. The distinction is the color, as off-road diesel uses solvent red 26, regulated by the IRS for off-road use only. On-road diesel has a green dye that makes them distinct.

Clear or on-road diesel has a bright appearance with a slightly greenish color. It will fade to a yellow or darker green when dry. When it comes to using it, the most notable difference is that dyed diesel is for off-road vehicles and equipment. You cannot use dyed diesel on the road as mandated. The reason for this strict mandate is because of fuel taxation.

Tax-free Diesel

Dyed diesel is tax-free, meaning you can get it for much cheaper. The reason for it being so is that it is not paying the road tax required for on-road diesel. Since this diesel isn’t for roads, you don’t have to pay the tax, and save money while still getting the same quality.

Businesses can save much money by using dyed diesel for their off-road equipment. Are you keeping generators stored for use during severe weather or power outages? Dyed diesel is the best option for you. Many industries can also rely on dyed diesel and save money while increasing profitability. Learn more about how you can get them from Ricochet Fuel.
