More than likely.....PM is reluctant to add dye anymore due to likely being blamed for corroded engines that have been laying around for years that never ran on PM.

Now that's very interesting!
I wonder what dye was used?

So in my case, is there an engine-safe dye that a consumer can use to dye 5 gallons of 23% nitro fuel?
Obviously the food coloring didn't work.
