[Vwdiesel] B20 furnace oil...

[mikitka]

The downside to running the offroad/heating oil fuel is the red dye. It
would be my luck that the D.O.T. would be feeling lucky one day and notice
I'm in a diesel, pull me over and check my fuel. I'm in a large farming area
of North Carolina so I would think it would be looked at more here then in a
major city environment. The fine from my understanding is steep, $2500 I
think.

Well .... offroad diesel , which is the same as home fuel oil is less 
than $2 a gallon here, not saying I've run that in the golf, but it 
does seem to like that stuff :-}
