I would think the cop would have to have grounds to impound a vehicle. Lots of cops lie to get you do do what they want. I'd love to know the actual law with regards to private vehicles.
I'm sorry to hear about the trolling.
Not to make you talk about it in depth though, I'd like to ask a couple of questions if you'd humor me for a second. I'm a bit of a bio-fan and proponent, although it has some short comings.
1) Do you react your own? Or do you use straight veggie?
2) If you react, are you having any "Black Honey" issues? And NO! I don't mean your girlfriend honey for anyone thinking along this vein.
Thanx.
I couldn't imagine anyone giving grief over veggie fuels. Not only are they viable, but contains neither red dye, nor actual taxes! In small quantities, it's considered "experimental" and has such a loop hole for garage blenders. I think it's over 100 gallons and you've magically become a "professional"... THEN, the IRS, EPA, business tax authority, fire department and all other agencies want a monetary piece of your hide!

why can they impound it your not out street racin it so they only think your breaking the law as in your grandpas case he was getting harassed for no reason at all?
Interesting read. I have heard rumor that Mi will fine $1000/gallon for red diesel on the road. I haven't confirmed it though.
my buddy has a 2002 powerstroke and he went to the bp station by him to get diesel and he noticed it was different, he told me it was tinted red, i told him it was off road diesel and could possibly get a fine if caught, and he told me it was at the same pump he always went to , there isn't even an off road diesel pump at the the station, so i went there and sure as s#$% it was red, two weeks later it was back to regular diesel, so how would that work if they did a dip test and the person really didn't even know they had off road diesel because someone put the wrong stuff in the tank?
Not true. Been an Oregonian my entire life. Never heard of anyone ever getting their tank dipped. EVER. They might check commercial trucks, maybe. Not sure how anybody could rat you out unless you went bragging about it and pissed somebody off, private people are not allowed to dip your tank either. Even if you complained the cops are NOT going to go to somebody's house and dip their tank. Not a non commercial outfit anyway.As far as tank dipping, don't do dye if you cross from AZ, NV, OR, UT into Klownifornia... they do dip there. Not so much on the general highway, but then again, if you get ratted out, license plates reported and all.... well, you know.
The cop would say "that's fine, I will have your truck impounded and I will ask for a warrant, then we will dip your tank"
This happened to my grandpa with his dodge diesel service truck. He didn't have locking caps, just a north woods mountain man mentality. He said to even open the fuel door without his consent is unlawful search. So the DOT cop told him "thats fine, I will impound your vehicle and then get a warrant" grandpa backed down at this point. His tanks were full of road legal fuel...
