As its name implies, on-road diesel is used to fuel vehicles that will be driven on roadways.
School districts use on-road diesel for their fleets of school buses. Shuttle buses, box-style trucks, vans used by courier and delivery companies, trucks used by trash haulers and junk removal companies, moving vans, municipal buses and fleet trucks, and more also use on-road diesel.
Off-road diesel is used for all kinds of equipment.
Diesel is a mainstay in agriculture, powering about two-thirds of farming equipment like tractors, generators, combines, and irrigation equipment.
The construction industry uses diesel fuel more than any other industry. It powers equipment like backhoes, cranes, and bulldozers.
The mining industry here in Oklahoma also depends on diesel. It is the fuel for off-road equipment such as shovels, drills, loaders, conveyer belts, and more.
There is no difference between on-road and off-road diesel fuel except the color. Off-road diesel fuel is dyed red to distinguish it from on-road diesel. This is because, since off-road diesel is used for equipment that doesn’t use roadways, it is not subject to traditional fuel taxes that are applied to on-road diesel and gasoline.
This makes off-road diesel more affordable. However, if you are caught using off-road diesel for on-road vehicles, you’ll face some stiff penalties. In Oklahoma, the fine is $10 per gallon or $1,000 per violation. And you may face federal charges as well.
