FTC Finalizes Biomass Fuel Pump Labeling

FTC Finalizes Biomass Fuel Pump Labeling

TMC Fleet Advisor

 

                The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) finalized rules governing the labeling of fuel pumps that dispense biomass-based diesel, including bio-diesel. The requirements go into effect December 16th and apply to only retailers selling to the “general public” – not to centrally fueled fleets.

                Biomass-based diesel in blends greater than 5% and less than 20% will require special labels, while blends exceeding 20% will require different labels.

                Biomass-based diesel labels will be orange and bio-diesel labels will be blue, said the FTC, to distinguish biomass-based diesel from bio-diesel on the grounds that biomass-based diesel does not pose engine warranty issues or other operating concerns for consumers.

                Biomass-based blends of up to 5% will not require additional labels as long as the blended fuel meets the ASTM International D-975-07b standard.
