They may want to revisit that “disease was eliminated” statement…

Oh yeah, back in the 90s before ULSD was a thing it’d be fine for sure… Older diesels would be fine with it but you might have issues with it in modern diesels expecting low sulfur and the other additives

In farm counties sure, there’s probably double the amount of offroad diesel storage than there is onroad, they’d be fine. everywhere else though good luck lol.

Not entirely; off road diesel is usually the exact same distillate as on road diesel but dyed for tax purposes. AKA the distributors quite literally pull the diesel from the exact same bulk tank but then dye it for delivery. Both onroad and offroad are a ultra low sulfur refined base oil with motor lubricity and cleaning additives. Actual heating oil is a similar distillate but without all the motor fuel additives and (i think) looser sulfur restrictions. It usually comes from a different supply chain than offroad diesel, except in more rural areas where it may be regular dyed diesel for supply chain reasons.

By design. They don’t want money going to undesirables.

Nobody is better at having a persecution complex/delusion than Christians. Hell their entire religion was founded on a persecution fetish story basically.

Absolutely fucks up the tax system. It would be a disaster for commercial trucking and I am betting you will not see widespread use of the untaxed fuel even if “allowed” as no operator wants to get on the wrong side of DOT after this is said and done.

This of course does not apply to light duty trucks and diesel cars where rednecks run red fuel in them almost all the time.

I don’t know how this can possibly work in practice.

One, this may relieve the federal diesel tax by “allowing” red fuel but will not exempt state and local taxes that he has no authority to affect, meaning it may still be illegal at the state level to run red fuel.

Two, the red fuel dye used to identify untaxed/offroad fuel is aggressive and can be detected at extremely low concentrations. If dyed fuel has ever been in a tank it’s detectable for months if not years afterwards (depending on how much it gets refilled) and even then, sometimes they can swab the fuel cap for residue and detect it indefinitely. If a state trooper decides to have a tank dip done to inspect your fuel after this tax break stuff you are capital-F Fucked.

You’d be surprised. Northern Cali, Idaho, a lot of the rural parts in western states eat that kinda shit up.

She should have stepped down as soon as Obama was elected the 2nd time.

Not that it likely would matter, as Turtlefucker would have found a way to stall and kill his nominee for her spot anyway.

This isn’t my hobby printer, but I once was trying to diagnose a filament feed issue with one of the Stratasys printers I run at work. This particular machine was always touchy about filament change overs (its a 4-bay F-370) and it of course failed when changing from empty spool 1 to half full spool 2. I tried remotely re-trying the filament load but it just kept complaining, so I went out and tried to manually feed the filament multiple times

It took me like 30 minutes of this to realize the feed tube had just come undone from the back of the spool drawer and I had fed 50 meters of filament into a huge tangle under the machine…

… You can do it from mobile web browser too yknow??

Exactly! It’s like trump trying to go after wind and solar too- those are already cheaper and desired by the market, so the market is going to prefer them. there’s nothing you can do to slow down adoption short of banning it outright.

This isn’t likely to change anything in the market. Auto manufacturers have invested shitloads into meeting those standards and they’re not going to retroactively change their already-designed powerplants over rules that will probably change again in 6 months.

Also it won’t matter anyway since automakers realized they can just upsell everyone into “luxury” light trucks in the US and fuel economy standards don’t matter to those anyway.

Fetterman strikes again.

Can someone get him the fuck out of there?

Zootopia 2 didn’t make $1.8 billion for no reason.

I didn’t want to know exactly what kind of porn this guy gets off to, but I guess I know now.

Republicans have given up because they are planning on elections not mattering.

“Various reasons” ranging from
