Who's been checked for offroad fuel?

Thought this might be interesting since the other poll doesn't allow you answer two questions.



If you answer yes please post a reply to which state it was in.

answered poll but..............

There wasn't a second question. I voted yes and it went straight to the results. It was in Louisiana.

Checked in Iowa

My buddy and I were pulling a trailer with tractor down I-35 in Iowa two years ago. He had a 40 gal fuel tank in the bed of his truck... no red though.

Arkansas, Every March there is a 6 day auction in Stuttgart called Backgate auction. LOTS of farm equipment of all types along with general auction stuff.



A couple of years ago on the way to the auction I had to go thru a roadblock one morning, they ran a small 1/8 or so dia. clear plastic tube down the filler neck and withdrew a sample for visual inspection. No big deal since I was legal, but there were a lot of upset folks in line.

Louisvilly, KY, Farm Machienry Show. Every farmer in 100 miles in one spot is an easy target.

I'll 2nd the farm show in louiville, thats why we take the minivan. I'd be careful around any large farm show or auction.

Been checked checked 3 times in Alabama, twice in roadblocks and was pulled over with the blue lights one time. Talked to a farmer that ran the fuel and it cost him about $3,000. Don't believe he saved that much by running the wrong fuel. I ran a tank of it to see how my truck would act, but didn't know how bad the fine was- won't do it again. Kenny

Checked on US35 at the WV/OH line. The only foreign material in my tank was the inspectors dip-stick!

I have a friend that runs it all the time in his MBZ. I have told him a few times about the fine and he says "I have been running it since '79 and haven't been ck'd yet". Good luck to him I say!
