Gulf Hydrocarbon offers dyed, off-road biodiesel

June 21, 2007

Gulf Hydrocarbon Inc. recently began offering dye red biodiesel at its Intercontinental Fuels terminal in Houston, which has 420,000 gallons of dedicated biodiesel storage on-site. The dye is injection-blended at the loading rack. Dying off-road fuel red is an Internal Revenue Service protocol, since off-road fuels aren't subject to fuel tax. Penalties are issued if on-road vehicles are caught using red dye fuel. Gulf Hydrocarbon began wholesale distribution to regional petroleum jobbers in Houston last fall. It now sells off-road biodiesel to Louisiana and Texas distributors with a farmer-customer base, such as O'Roarke Petroleum Products and Temple Oil Co.
