fuel color question

[Dvldog8793]

Howdy
Has anyone seen diesel fuel that is a bright (almost) day glow yellow/green????

Is this some new color they are playing with or did my local guys use some strange additive?

I have 10 gallons in cans for my tractor and never really looked at it until I started to dump it in....just about crapped myself thinking that it was ANTI-FREEZE I bought the fuel about a month ago. It should be off-road number 1...but it might be hiway number 1....?

Thanks!

If they use any percentage of bio-diesel that could turn the color greenish, add in the red off road dye and it could really look strange.

I hauled it for the last 10yrs, it's that color here, it's the ULSD, even the red is ULSD here, it's all that is coming through the pipe.... SC area anyway...

It looks like you describe here in southern MN also. I think the color is in part due to the mandated bio diesel here in MN as mentioned above. It's more noticeable in the summer when the percentage of bio is higher.

This stuff looks like it would glow in the dark when I poured it on some snow.
Figures the bean juice would do something like that to screw us up!

Actually the Bio-diesel is good, it relubricates the fuel, when they stripped out all the sulfur they lost the lubrication, and gives back some of the power.
