What Is Black Diesel? Uses, Legality & How It Differs from Dyed Diesel

FAQ's

No. Red diesel (dyed diesel) is a petroleum-based fuel refined from crude oil — the same product as clear diesel, just with a red dye added for tax identification. Black diesel is a term for fuel made from recycled waste oils. They are completely different products.
Using non-approved fuels in EPA-regulated engines can void warranties and cause compliance issues. For construction equipment, off-road dyed diesel is the correct, legal, and commercially available fuel.
Off-road diesel is sold by licensed fuel distributors and delivered directly to your location. FuelGo delivers off-road diesel nationwide — call 800-720-4546 or request a quote online.
