RFA issues new equipment guidance for E15 retailers

In Washington, U.S. EPA gave final approval in 2012 to the use of E15 fuel and the fuel blend is now sold in 23 states. With many new retailers preparing to offer E15, the Renewable Fuels Association is concerned that retailers could potentially order equipment that cannot legally dispense E15.  In a new RFA communication about how to properly offer E15 at retail, they highlight several items retailers should consider before ordering equipment, including:

– What are the equipment options to legally offer E15 to 2001 and newer vehicles?

– What are the various dispenser hose configurations allowed?

– What are the retail fuel dispenser labeling requirements for each configuration?
