Treasury, IRS take steps to make additional diesel fuel available
Friday, 11:55 a.m.
WASHINGTON, DC - The Treasury Department and IRS today announced that "dyed diesel fuel" would be permitted for road use.
Dyed diesel fuel ordinarily is intended for off-road use in farm equipment or in certain government vehicles such as school buses. It is dyed to distinguish it from diesel fuel intended for road use.
"Today's action is a relatively simple and straightforward step that will immediately increase the available supply of diesel fuel nationwide, which is especially needed in Gulf Coast relief efforts," Secretary of the Treasury John Snow stated."
The announcement today will make available additional supplies of diesel fuel that will help alleviate shortages. The relief will remain in effect through September 15, 2005.
Excellent. The truckers especially need relief. For more than 2 weeks, but that will come in time, imo.
Did you just see all the ambulances? Huge convoy.
Help is on the way.
