Guys, just a thought - if DC does monitor the online forums to see what's going on and what people are doing with their CRD's, it might not be wise to fess up to having used off-road diesel in your vehicle in the past, or tell people how to use it without getting caught, even if it's just an innocent FYI discussion.
Someone higher up at DC might try to put 2 and 2 together to make 5, ie, this person has used off-road diesel, and this person owns a CRD, therefore quid pro quo this person is using fuel that is illegal for road use in their CRD and try to use that as grounds for some type of action, denying warranty, whatever.
Considering that 1 - off-road diesel is illegal for road use, and 2 - they could have a printed hardcopy of your comments here admitting to using it in the past or discusssing how to use it without geting caught, even a good country lawyer would have a tough time fighting that one if they wanted to push it.
I guess you could be right, but I don't think something like that would stand up in court. Too much "bragging and bs'ing" on these forums. They would have to catch you in the act, like having it in your fuel tank. I buy the stuff sometimes quite often depending on how much yard trash I need to burn.
Just so you know, the fed's have no enforcement arm for the offroad diesel or overweight enforcement for that matter. They rely on state and local enforcement. Most states tend to put more into weight and vehicle mechanical inspections then watching for offroad fuel use.
