I can’t say for Canada but in the USA I have never seen or heard of off-road gasoline. And I worked enough farms and ranches that at least one of them would have been using it if it existed. So I highly doubt this is an off road tax reason.
No, it exists in the States. I used to be a truck driver, and we used marked fuel in our refrigerator units all the time since those engines are not powering a highway vehicle.
Really where? I’ve straight up asked farm fuel delivery services and they said it was not something they could provide. Interesting, I wonder if they were being lazy or it has to do with state taxes or what.
Edit - your reefers weren’t diesel? Most of the reefers I’ve ever seen had those little three-cylinder Perkins in them. But I’ve never worked as a trucker so I wouldn’t know for sure.
I talked to a farmer in Kansas (near Colby, iirc) who had his own gas pump for farm/off-road use only, so it does exist here. Probably only found on pretty big farms though.
Yep definitely not questioning your assertion. I try to do my best to not tell other people how their country works when I don’t live there, I’m mostly successful

Just curious are you sure that was gasoline and not off-road diesel? Off-road diesel is very common and almost all farm equipment is diesel.
I know you weren’t directly questioning my assertion, but in case none else happens to think I’m just blowing smoke: Coloured Fuel | DriveSmart BC.
