Lubricants catalogTwo diesel peaks — planting in May, harvest in October. A propane spike from September through December, sized to how wet the corn comes off. DEF riding alongside diesel year-round on newer equipment. We run the route around this shape, with one rep on the account year-round.
Dyed off-road diesel — for tractors, combines, harvesters, and on-farm stationary equipment (grain dryers, irrigation pumps, gensets). Unlicensed equipment only — no HTA-plated vehicles, including farm-plated trucks. No road tax; the dye is the visible marker for roadside enforcement.
Any HTA-plated truck — including a farm-plated pickup — runs on clear diesel, full stop. Fuel Tax Act s. 2(7.1) prohibits coloured fuel in any vehicle that carries an HTA number plate, regardless of where it operates or whose business it serves.
A first-offence set fine applies under the Provincial Offences Act. The larger exposure is the tax back-charge assessed by the Ministry of Finance: penalty of 3× the tax on first occurrence, 10× on subsequent. Tampering or selling coloured fuel as clear: up to $1,000,000 and/or 2 years imprisonment under Fuel Tax Act s. 4.19(1). Administrative penalty on audit can reach 13× the tax. Payment of any fine does not extinguish the underlying tax liability.
Coloured fuel is diesel dyed red at 170–190 ppm by a registered dyer. Per the Ministry of Finance, it may be used for any reason other than to generate power in a licensed motor vehicle, or in a motor vehicle or vessel operated principally for pleasure or recreation.
Aboveground farm diesel tanks are not TSSA-registered; underground tanks are. The Liquid Fuels Handling Code under O. Reg. 217/01 and Ontario Fire Code Part 4 still govern installation, setbacks, secondary containment and labelling.
There is no published "litres of diesel" trigger below which a farm spill is non-reportable: reportability is functional, not volumetric. A diesel spill on a farm must be reported immediately to the Spills Action Centre (1-800-268-6060) if it causes or is likely to cause an adverse effect, or enters or is likely to enter a watercourse, tile drain, ditch, sewer or potable-water source.
