Biodiesel Pump Labels Coming
Published Thursday, August 21, 2008 at 04:46 AM
One of the approved labels is for blends between 5 and 20 percent and the second is for B100 - 100 percent biodiesel. Under the federal ruling, blends of 5 percent and lower do not require special labeling. The present standard for fuel in America includes up to 5 percent biodiesel in the standard for petroleum diesel, D975.
Also, a recent change in law ensures that franchises can’t prohibit franchisees from selling biofuels. Jess Hewitt, chairman of the NBB Marketing Committee says - this has been a critical step in ensuring that petroleum marketers have the power to make their own business decisions and respond to market demand for biodiesel.
