Dyed diesel still currently illegal on Montana roads, despite executive order

The Montana Department of Transportation has confirmed that red-dyed diesel is illegal on state roads, despite a recent executive order from President Trump to lower fuel prices. This diesel, intended for off-road use and exempt from fuel taxes, is tracked by law enforcement to prevent illegal use, resulting in fines up to $1,000 for first offenses and possible jail time for repeat violations. This announcement coincides with rising material costs from global fuel supply issues.
