OK. In the past I have bought fuel oil and used the same tank for a furnace in my shop in the barn and to burn in my tractors and any off road equipment. I do not burn it in any ON road vehicles so that’s not a concern! Right now Fuel oil is $2.48 gallon locally. I’m in New York State. Farm diesel is $2.09 gallon if I buy 1000 gallons. Fuel supplier says it exactly the same fuel, dyed the same and comes out of the same tank. In order to get farm diesel I need to have a farm exempt tax form on file with them. Fuel oil supposedly has no sales tax on it so I am unsure why there is such a big difference in the above prices. Even the supplier couldn’t give me any logical answer. I’m really only a little hobby farm but have quite a few pieces of diesel equipment. I wouldn’t burn 1000 gallons in just the tractors in a year by any means. What’s really needed to qualify as being “farm exempt” as far as diesel fuel goes. Who will ever know what I burn the fuel in once I have it in my tank? How fussy would they be as to whether it goes in a tractor or a furnace? Obviously I’m just trying to beat the high cost of diesel fuel but don’t want to end up in jail over it. The difference adds up to almost $400 and I am unsure as to why.
