I remember hearing that red diesel is the same as normal diesel, except it isn't taxed, so don't get caught with red fuel in your pickup's tank!

Who exactly would be checking and why?

Also, red has a higher sulfur content. It isn't taxed because it is prohibited from use on roads: https://www.corsefuels.com/2019/03/1...clear-vs-dyed/
