Your question is not clear but here is what I found:

 

The federal government imposes taxes on a variety of fuels. The one most familiar to taxpayers is probably the federal gas tax—18.4 cents/gallon as of 2020—which pays for road projects across the country. Certain uses of fuels are untaxed, however, and fuel users can get a credit for the taxes they’ve paid by filing Form 4136.

 

Not all fuels are taxed. There are a variety of circumstances where the government may not tax or implement reduced taxes, including the following:

  • Business use of gasoline in a vehicle that is not registered for highway use
  • Exported gasoline
  • Gasoline and kerosene used in commercial aviation
  • Undyed diesel fuel used in farming or for some bus transportation (Undyed diesel is taxed; Diesel that has been dyed red is untaxed)

Who qualifies for the credits?

It would be impractical to set up separate gas stations and fuel depots all over the country to sell different taxed and untaxed fuels, so the government essentially taxes all fuels with a few exceptions (dyed diesel, for example), then allows credits for nontaxable uses.

In general, only the “ultimate user” of a fuel is eligible for a credit for untaxed use. In other words, if you weren’t the one who burned the fuel, then you usually can’t claim the credit.
