If your construction company, manufacturing plant or farm operates equipment that runs on diesel and if you usually fuel up at your local gas station, you are probably paying too much. Vaughn Oil offers low-sulfur dyed diesel for off-road equipment and vehicles and you may even qualify for a state excise tax refund.
Both on-road diesel and off-road diesel are a distillate, crafted from refined crude oil at petroleum
plants. In the United States, diesel fuels are known as ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) and contain
15 parts-per-million or less if sulfur.
In 2021, the United States produced 1.63 billion barrels (68.35 billion gallons) of ultra-low sulfur
diesel fuel.
In addition to lowering the content of sulfur in diesel fuels, there is another advance in making
on-road diesel and off-road diesel more environmentally friendly. Biodiesels are being blended into
diesel fuels to reduce emissions while also reducing wear on engines. These natural biodiesels come from plant oils, animal fats, and other biomass.
On-road diesel and off-road diesel hold the same chemical composition. The only difference is their
application.
On-road diesel is used for vehicles that operate on public roadways, such as cars, trucks, buses, and
shuttles. Off-road diesel is used for vehicles and equipment that do not use public roads.
Off-road diesel vehicles and equipment are not being used in transportation. Thus, off-road diesel is
not subject to the federal excise tax as on-road diesel is. Off-road diesel is made recognizably
different from on-road diesel by coloring it the same red as your home’s heating oil. This helps
ensure that it is not dispensed for on-road use. Penalties for this include steep fines for each
offense. Here in Rhode Island, the penalty is $10 for each gallon or $1,000 per violation.
A wide range of industries use off-road diesel, such as construction, paving, and agriculture.
Equipment powered by off-road diesel includes:
Another use for off-road diesel is for large, commercial standby generators that automatically kick
on during a power outage. These types of generators are especially popular in hospitals, health care
facilities, nursing homes, and rehab centers.
