I was told I couldn't get it authorized on my card because I didn't have tax exempt status in BC. I was just wondering if there was some way of getting it.

I have Alberta farm plates and tried to buy premium dyed fuel from my bulk dealer and at the time I was told that it was not available. That was about 15 years ago. Is premium dyed fuel available in BC? If it is in Alberta I would like to know.

I'm guessing it's only for BC residents. My account is in Stony Plain.

I ran into the same issue last year at Valemount. My account is in Bonnyville. The storey I got from Co-op when I asked was that we cannot by Dyed fuel in Alberta unless we have tax exemption in Alberta. The card can be used any where in Canada so they have to apply the same rules that apply to you in your home province. For example, if the card would allow me to buy dyed fuel in BC what would stop me from buying dyed fuel in Alberta. With today's technology one would think that they be able to make it happen but they don't want to be bothered.

Open an account at Vanderhoof Co-op. There are envelopes with applications at the Co-op pumps in Valemount. Also in the envelope in addition to the application there is an affidavit where you swear you will not use the dyed purple on public roads in BC. Envelope is self addressed. Mail everything back and in very short order you will get two cards mailed back to you. They are great to deal with and every once in a while you get a dividend cheque. Much quicker and cheaper than buying sled and truck gas from Petro Can and all it cost's to open an account is a postage stamp. Heading to the race at Silver Star tomorrow. Can pick you up an envelope on the way by if you are not heading that direction anytime soon.

I wonder if they would mail out an application form? I would definitely be interested in getting one

When I got my coop card lock cards a few years ago I had to prove I was legal to run dyed if I wanted to purchase. Needless to say I only have regular and diesel on my cards.

I always run dyed premium in my sleds. Buy it by the barrel at the bulk plant. The rules are a bit different in BC. Don't need a farm. Just need to fill out the declaration specifying what you're going to use it in.

I am sure they would. Call or email Vanderhoof Co-op as they run the Valemount pumps. Should be able to Google phone number and/or email address.
