There's no law saying you can't use bio in a fuel because it is not taxed. I would fight that tooth an nail.

Badnews Bob:
You'd loose to, the Tax isn't for using the fuel the tax is for using the roads. You can use bio fuel all you want to offroad like on the farm. But if you drive a vehicle on the road system you have to pay road use tax, same with diesel or kerosene, Tax for over the raod nontax for offroad.

So are you a Lawyer? I think you better brush up om your laws. I know here in MN it is law. And I'm prett sure federally fuel tax evasion is a crime also. Now I aint wanting to pay taxes any more than anyone else, but all I'm saying is if you are doing this don't advertise it.

I'm not a lawayer, so I did a little research

"Biodiesel, if used as an on-road fuel in a vehicle, may be subject to road taxes. The taxation laws are changing all the time so check with your local tax consultant to identify which taxes biodiesel may be subject to. Currently (April 2005), the first 400 gallons of homemade biodiesel is exempt from Federal excise taxes. Anything over 400 gallons is subject to the normal tax rate. You will need to check your State Tax Code for exemptions on State Excise Taxes."

No need to get stupid about things guys.
