Lane Beattyfrom Ohio (USA), shared a video on TikTok to say that he stopped at a gas station to fill up his truck Ram 3500.
However, when he started to fill up his car, he noticed that the gasoline coming out of the pump was pink. “The lion doesn’t care about the color of the fuel,” he joked in the text superimposed on the clip.
According to the website OFTRBspecializing in fuels, there are several reasons why drivers may encounter a pink liquid when filling up at a gas station.
While gasoline is normally associated with a “transparent or slightly yellowish liquid”, gasoline OFTRB explained that there are cases where gasoline is dyed pink with a chemical called solvent red 26 or other synthetic dyes in order to differentiate it from other types of fuel.
The dyes are “water-soluble and highly concentrated” and, when added to gasoline, “do not affect the chemical properties or performance of the fuel”, according to the OFTRB.
While they can serve to help identify different types of fuel, some jurisdictions require that pink gasoline be used specifically for “off-highway or non-highway” use.
So, this dyed fuel is not taxed in the US, according to the website Truckers Report. This is because it is intended for agricultural equipment and machinery, that is, not for those who use the car for long trips on American highways.
With this in mind, one commentator wrote: “The lion is not scared by the concept of tax evasion.” More than one person in the comments section seemed to agree that Beatty was purposely filling his tank with pink gas to avoid paying taxes.
But as you can see from the other videos on his account, it appears that Beatty owns a farm or at least lives in a rural area. In previous posts, he has been seen driving tractors in large open fields and appears to leave his car parked on a rather spacious property.
