Off-Road Diesel Fuel

Off-Road Diesel Fuel

Off-Road Diesel Fuel (as opposed to On-Road Diesel Fuel) is used for vehicles and equipment that do not drive on public roadways. Since this fuel is reserved for off-road use, no road taxes are applied to the purchase of this fuel.

Off-Road Diesel fuel is common in construction sites and equipment such as excavators, generators, backhoes, bulldozers, etc. It is also commonly used in farm equipment and various types of factory equipment.

Off-Road Diesel Fuel is dyed red to distinguish it from On-Road Diesel fuel. All diesel fuel that we sell is ultra low sulfur diesel fuel at 15ppm.
