        It’s not uncommon, but not as common as died diesel of various types. A marina in Orange Beach Alabama sold a died diesel called locomotive diesel that is apparently different in composition from agricultural diesel.

        Sadly the tax advantages is absorbed by the vendor as they are located in the water.

        • Interesting, what color do they dye it.

          Looking up locomotive diesel. It didn’t switch to ultra low sulfur for 5ish years after over the road diesel. I would bet it has a higher Cetane, probably some closer heavy fuel oil.

            It was dyed the same red and slightly cheaper than other marine diesel.
