I think there might be a misunderstanding on who and what. It probably wasn't an "I.R.S." agent who came visiting. It was more like the state P.U.C. or D.O.T. tax/revemue department. (different states go by different department names, like P.S.C., etc, etc.) Trust me, they are the kind who will smash a turnip just to see if there is indeed blood inside. (the old saying you can't get blood from a turnip) The law concerning fuel with red dye is the fuel must be used exclusively for NON-HIGHWAY use. A stationary engine, portable generator, truck refrigeration unit farm tractor and other similar uses are non-highway. The way I understand the law; and I am NOT a lawyer (laughing) is IF the vehicle in question is used on ANY highway, and can be used for a purpose other than farming, ie a pickup truck or some vehicle like that; then you have to use non-red fuel and pay the fuel tax, and file for a refund at the end of the year for the non-highway use. In most states even truckers using refrigeration units use regular fuel in the refer units, and then file for a end of year refund. So my advice is unless it's a FARM tractor type haywagon, I would not use red-fuel in it.
