Default RE: Food coloring as fuel dye...


ORIGINAL: Wildcat Fuel

Do not use food coloring to fuel! Food colorings are salt based dyes, this will cause corrosion....rust....in yor engines. If you wish to dye fuels use solvent based dyes, as use in gasoline. If you need help contact us at 859-885-5619. Ask for John.
I researched all of the ingredients in the regular old food coloring vials I have, and I didnt see anything that worries me. I use all castor oil in my fuel and I run the engine dry at the end of the day, so I am not worried with the product I have.


Ingredients: Water, Propylene Glycol, FD&C Yallow 5, Red 40, Blue 1, Red 3, and 0.1% propylparaben (preservative).

If you have any information that I don't have access to, please post it here.
