FAQ Answer

The use of dyed diesel fuel is not allowed for on-road use in licensed vehicles in North Dakota according to the Office of the ND State Tax Commissioner. Under ND law, the injection of red dye into diesel fuel indicates the fuel has not been subject to an excise tax. Instead, dyed diesel fuel is subject to the special fuel excise tax of $.04 per gallon.

Dyed diesel fuel is used for off-road, non-licensed equipment for farming or construction and taxed at a different rate than other fuel.
