This brings a question to mind, I have purchased diesel fueled vehicles
from DRMO that had/have red fuel in them, even after several refueling the
fuel is still noticeably red, could a person ever explain this to
enforcement officers??

Jim:
The chances of being stopped for a fuel color check in your private diesel
pickup or car are very small, but not zero. In the 30+ years I've owned
diesel cars and pickups, I've never been subjected to a fuel color check.
So, as some wise person once said, "Ya pays yer money and takes yer
chances."
