G. Uniform Engine Fuels, Petroleum Products, and Automotive Lubricants
Regulation

as adopted by

The National Conference on Weights and Measures\*

###### 1. Background {#background .Style-Heading-6-+-After:--0-pt}

In 1984, the National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM) adopted
a Section 2.20. in the Uniform Regulation for the Method of Sale of
Commodities requiring that motor fuels containing alcohol be labeled to
disclose to the retail purchaser that the fuel contains alcohol. The
delegates deemed this action necessary since motor vehicle manufacturers
were qualifying their warranties with respect to some gasoline-alcohol
blends, motor fuel users were complaining to weights and measures
officials about fuel quality and vehicle performance, and ASTM
International (ASTM) had not yet finalized quality standards for
oxygenated (which includes alcohol-containing) fuels. While a few
officials argued weights and measures officials should not cross the
line from quantity assurance programs to programs regulating quality,
the delegates were persuaded that the issue needed immediate attention.

A Motor Fuels Task Force was appointed in 1984 to develop mechanisms for
achieving uniformity in the evaluation and regulation of motor fuels.

The Task Force developed the Uniform Motor Fuel Inspection Law (see the
Uniform Laws section of this Handbook) and the Uniform Motor Fuel
Regulation to accompany the Law.

The Uniform Law required registration and certification of motor fuel as
meeting ASTM standards. The regulation defined the ASTM standards to be
applied to motor fuel.

In 1992 the NCWM established the Petroleum Subcommittee under the Laws
and Regulations Committee. The subcommittee recommended major revisions
to the Regulation that was adopted at the 80th NCWM in 1995. The scope
of the regulation was expanded to include all engine fuels, petroleum
products, and automotive lubricants; its title was changed accordingly;
and the fuel specifications and method of sale sections were revised to
address the additional products. Other changes included expansion of the
definitions section and addition of sections on retail storage tanks,
condemned product, registration of engine fuels designed for special
use, and test methods and reproducibility limits.

###### 2. Status of Promulgation {#status-of-promulgation .Style-Heading-6-+-After:--0-pt}

The Uniform Regulation for Engine Fuels, Petroleum Products, and
Automotive Lubricants was adopted by the NCWM in 1995. The status of
State actions with respect to this Regulation is shown in the table
beginning on page 10.

\*The National Conference on Weights and Measures is supported by the
National Institute of Standards and Technology in partial implementation
of its statutory responsibility for \"cooperation with the States in
securing uniformity in weights and measures laws and methods of
inspection.\"

an international voluntary consensus standards organization formed for
the development of standards on characteristics and performance of
materials, products, systems, and services, and the promotion of related
knowledge.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc174934437 .anchor}**1.2. Antiknock Index
(AKI).** - means the arithmetic average of the Research Octane Number
(RON) and Motor Octane Number (MON): AKI = (RON+MON)/2. This value is
called by a variety of names, in addition to antiknock index, including:
octane rating, posted octane, (R+M)/2 octane.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc174934438 .anchor}**1.3. Automatic Transmission
Fluid.** - means a product intended for use in a passenger vehicle,
other than a bus, as either a lubricant, coolant, or liquid medium in
any type of fluid automatic transmission that contains a torque
converter. For the purposes of this regulation, fluids intended for use

Rating.** - means the automotive fuel rating required under the amended
Octane Certification and Posting Rule (or as amended, the Fuel Rating
Rule), 16 CFR Part 306. Under this Rule, sellers of liquid automotive
fuels, including alternative fuels, must determine, certify, and post an
appropriate automotive fuel rating. The automotive fuel rating for
gasoline is the antiknock index (octane rating). The automotive fuel
rating for alternative liquid fuels consists of the common name of the
fuel, along with a disclosure of the amount, expressed as a minimum
percentage by volume of the principal component of the fuel. For
alternative liquid automotive fuels, a disclosure of other components,
expressed as a minimum percentage by volume, may be included, if
desired.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc174934440 .anchor}**1.5. Automotive Gasoline,
Automotive Gasoline-Oxygenate Blend.** - means a type of fuel suitable
for use in spark ignition automobile engines and also commonly used in
marine and non-automotive applications.

means a type of gasoline suitable for use as a fuel in an aviation
spark‑ignition internal combustion engine.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc174934442 .anchor}**1.7. Aviation Turbine
Fuel.** - means a refined middle distillate suitable for use as a fuel

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc174934444 .anchor}**1.9. Biodiesel**. - means a
fuel comprised of mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived
from vegetable oils or animal fats, designated B100.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc174934445 .anchor}**1.10. Biodiesel Blend**. -
means a fuel comprised of a blend of biodiesel fuel with petroleum-based
diesel fuel, designated BXX. In the abbreviation BXX, the XX represents
