So during the parting out of my 93 dodge trying to sell the fuel tank, gauge read empty, never really thought anything of it, turns out the tank has maybe 15 gallons of red dye diesel fuel in it.
I was thinking about running this fuel in my truck ** Not really concearned about legality issues, truck will be burning it offroad** But yesterday when I was getting ready to pump it I noticed it smells funny.
Doesn't smell like diesel, maybe it smells like kerosene, heating oil, i dont know. Havent been around long enough to have a full databank of scents for all these fuels at this point.
So my question is, is this worth attempting to run? Is there something common farmers cut there fuel with that might change the odor? or does red diesel just smell different from street fuel? I was under the impression that red diesel is just died red but chemically the same. Figured if I throw some diesel 911 in it to get rid of any water that could be hiding in there it would be ok.
Just curious on anyone's thoughts
