"revenue investigators were checking fuel tanks of diesel RVs for illegal fuel"

What in the heck is "illegal fuel"? Does NC have a ban on out-of-state diesel?

Off road diesel that does not include the tax in the sales price and is died red so that it can be recognized an fuel that was not taxed for road use.

You can get fuel for generators and farm use that is dyed differently to indicate its tax status. For example, you aren't allowed to buy fuel oil for your "furnace" and pump it into your diesel car.

One possibility - Dyed diesel fuel for off highway (agriculture) use.

How would they be able to discern the difference between diesel fuel produced from cooking oil, and diesel fuel produced from crude oil?
