You have the dyed fuels turned around. Road fuel is un-dyed. Off-road only is colored Red. Don't be caught with Red fuel in your tanks on the road. I experimented a bit, and ONE gallon of Red dyed fuel is easily seen in a 100 gallon tank of otherwise clear fuel. It's pretty obvious if you try to cheat. The testing is very simple. They have a clear tube with a rubber bulb on the end. Insert into the tank, squeeze the bulb and fuel is drawn up into the clear tube. Visually, it's easy to see any trace of Red dye. If there is none, they squirt it back into your tank, and you go on. If it's Red or even possibly Red, they squirt the sample into a collection bottle for lab analysis. The rumor mill says it's $1 gallon fine for having Red fuel. My latest Truck carries 260 gallons. It would take a LOT of undetected cheating to break even. It isn't worth it!
