It comes from both. All the registration money from your OHV goes to the Mark T. Schmidt fund, and I believe 10 - 20 percent from fuel tax goes to the fund. An interesting point is if a certain amount of money from the fund doesn't get used, the government is looking to get it back.

Don't want to burn off road fuel in newer diesels cause of the low sulphur content. Gas stations were posting signs on pumps about  a new lower sulphur content fuel a whille back. Older diesels actually run better on higher sulphur fuel the way i was always told. The DOT can pull anyone over (commercial or not, though unlikely if not). If they were to check your fuel you sure aint gonna save any money! My partner hauled cattle to sale one day in his old truck cause his other one was broke down and the one time he used that truck to go to the sale, you guessed it, we were burning off road fuel and guess who was at the loading chutes checking fuel?! DOT with a $1500 fine! You can buy off road (no road tax) gasoline at alot of places but I ain't tellin where Cool

The new low sulfur 15ppm diesel is required in ANY diesel model year 2007 or newer. The other diesel you can still buy in certain places is 500ppm and can only use in 2006 or older diesels.
