Michigan Administrative Code › Department - Agriculture and Rural Development › Laboratory Division › RegulationNo 564 - Automotive Gasoline Purity, Additives, And Grading › Section R. 285.564.4 - Grades of gasoline; specifications

Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 4. All uniform and special grades of gasoline shall meet
				  the following specifications:
(a) The
				test method for oxygenates shall be ASTM standard D 5599-00(2005). If the total
				amount of any alcohol contained is 1% by volume or greater, the pump shall be
				posted with an alcohol notice. Gasoline that contains 10% or less ethanol is
				not subject to the notice requirement. Gasoline containing alcohol shall meet
				all other specifications contained in these rules. There shall not be
				intentional addition of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) to the
				gasoline.
(b) The test method for
				copper strip corrosion shall be ASTM standard D 130-04e1 (2004). Copper strip
				corrosion shall not exceed No. 1 on the test scale specified in test method
				ASTM standard D 130-04e1(2004).
(c)
				The test method for silver strip corrosion shall be ASTM standard D 4814-08b
				(2008) Annex. Silver strip corrosion shall not exceed No. 1 on the test scale
				specified in test method ASTM standard D 4814-08b (2008) Annex.
(d) The test method for distillation range
				shall be ASTM standard D 86-07a(2007). The following apply:
(i) The 10% evaporation temperature for each
				month shall not exceed the value indicated in table 2.
(ii) The 50% evaporation temperature for each
				month shall not be less than the minimum or exceed the maximum for the range
				indicated in table 2. Gasoline containing 9%-10% ethanol that does not meet
				this standard may be sold pursuant to the USEPA Fuel or Fuel Additive Waiver in
				section 211(F)(4) of Part a of Title II of the Clean Air Act, Chapter 360, 81
				Stat. 502,
				42 USC 7545,
				provided the product meets all of the conditions in the waiver and the base
				gasoline used for blending has a 50% evaporation temperature of not less than
				170Chr(176)F.
(iii) The 90%
				evaporation temperature shall not exceed the value for each month indicated in
				table 2. The end point temperature shall not exceed the value indicated in
				table 2.
(iv) The residue shall not
				exceed the amount indicated in table 2. The use of a trailing decimal point in
				a limit indicates that the digit preceding the decimal point is a significant
				digit.

				The drivability index shall be derived using ASTM D 4814-08b (2008). The
				drivability index at the refinery or point of import shall not exceed in any
				month the value indicated in table 3. The use of a trailing decimal point in a
				limit indicates that the digit preceding the decimal point is a significant
				digit.
