02 / THE FARM YEAR ·  SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO

The shape of a southwestern Ontario farm year.

Two 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.

What runs on coloured, what runs on clear.

Coloured

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.

Clear

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.

Penalties

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.

04 / FAQ

Questions we hear most often.

01Can I run coloured diesel in my farm-plated truck?
No. A farm plate is an HTA number plate, and Fuel Tax Act s. 2(7.1) prohibits coloured fuel in any HTA-plated vehicle — even one operated entirely on the farm. Tractors, combines, and on-farm stationary equipment run coloured; the farm-plated truck runs clear.FUEL TAX ACT S. 2(7.1)
02What's the fine for coloured diesel in a plated truck?
A first-offence set fine applies under the Provincial Offences Act. The larger exposure is the tax back-charge: the Ministry of Finance assesses road-tax owed on the volume in the tank, with penalty of 3× the tax on a first occurrence and 10× on subsequent occurrences. Administrative penalties on audit can reach 13× the tax.FUEL TAX ACT · MIN. OF FINANCE
03Can the same farm have both a coloured and a clear tank?
Yes, and most diversified operations do. We size and supply both. Tanks must be clearly labelled — red band on the coloured tank, white on the clear — under the Ontario Fire Code and the Canadian Fuels Association Colour-Symbol System.O. REG. 213/07 S. 4.3.1.7(1) · CFA COLOUR-SYMBOL SYSTEM
04How much DEF do I need to keep on hand?
Tier 4 SCR engines consume DEF at 3–5% of diesel volume (OEM SCR baseline; Cummins, CAT, John Deere). A tractor burning 800 L diesel/week uses 24–40 L of DEF. A 1,040 L tote sized to two weeks of peak operation is the right unit for most grain ops. DEF must meet ISO 22241; we supply Petro-Canada Air1, API-certified.ISO 22241 · OEM SCR SPEC
