( photo by T.Marr) Specific problems of diesel fuel to be studied by OFA BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE The Ontario Federation of Agriculture wants to know of specific problems farmers are having with colored diesel fuel so they can pass the information on to the Ontario Ministry of Revenue. OFA general manager Harry Zwerver told a joint meeting of the Huron and Perth Federations of Agriculture' on December 2 in Seaforth that specific information would enable revenue ministry officials to investigate the problem. The problem was discussed at the OFA's annual meeting last month after a resolution was presented by the Huron Federation. Zwerver in- dicated the OFA sent letters to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, the Ministry of the Environment and the revenue ministry. Since then, the revenue ministry has requested specific information. Reports of fuel pump damage from the colored diesel fuel have been sur- facing in Huron County recently. The red dye in the fuel is being blamed for the damage as it tends to gel the fuel. Reports of farmers changing filters each hour are not uncommon. According to reports, rotary fuel pumps are most affected and in some cases damages to the tractor has been in -excess of $1.000. The dye was introduced at the beginning of October and the "down time" of equipment farmers experienced during harvest has also been costly. The red dye is used in diesel fuel to be used for agriculture purposes. Such fuel is tax exempt and the dye is used to ensure the fuel being used for agriculture and the farmer receives tax exemptions. Similar dye has been used out west without any problems. Zwerver said the ministry needs names and reports of incidents to investigate the matter. He suggested far- mers contact the OFA's property department in Toronto which in turn will pass the information over to the revenue ministry.
