Yes, brilliant. So now you not only carry the weight of the dye (it not being fuel it'll just add to the fuel weight), you carry much more of it (since as you need to have enough to still be effective when the tanks are largely empty you'll have far more than needed when they're full), and to top it all off you burn your expensive dye during every flight. This is all assuming the dye would be effective anyway, and wouldn't screw up the engines, of course.
