Diesels

[Peter D. Hipson]

Though they are the same stuff, heating oil (not Kero, though) is dyed to
indicate that road taxes were *not* paid. Being caught on the road can
spell trouble. On private property, you can go for it, though I'd check the
fuel filter a bit more often to ensure that the dye doesn't cause problems.

Now this applies to the US, so take it with a grain of salt if you are not
in the states!
