I'm in central New York - Otsego County - and keep a 1000 gallons of dyed-diesel on hand all the time. All the versions have taxes - but the taxes all differ depending if sold as "on road highway" "farm diesel", or "heating oil."
The people that sell the farm diesel - or heating oil - are supposed to make the determination depending on what your tank is hooked to. If it is hooked to a heating-system, they can fill it with fuel priced and taxed as "fuel oil." If the tank has a pump on it for filling tractors and such and is NOT hooked to anything else - the tax is higher unless you've got a bunch of exemption forms filled out.
I've got five tanks here - four are 275 gallons and one is 300 gallons. The first four are hooked to some sort of oil-furance - one in the barn and one in the house - although I hardly ever use either since we heat all our buildings with a wood furnace. But, one set also has a hand-pump on it for filling tractors. Anytime any supplier complains, I offer to yank it out - until he leaves. The fourth tank is out in a unheated barn with a hand-pump on it. Some suppliers overlook it and don't worry about the exemption requirements, and others will not put "heating oil" into the tank with the pump on it.
I always shop around for the best price - which causes trouble sometimes when someone new shows up here.
