Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) "Biodiesel" means a fuel comprised of
			 at least ninety-nine per cent by volume
			 mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or
			 animal fats, designated B100 or B99.
(B) "Biodiesel
			 blend" means a fuel comprised of a blend of biodiesel
			  with hydrocarbon diesel fuel.
(C)
			 "Compressed natural gas (CNG)" means natural gas
			 which has been compressed and dispensed into fuel storage containers and is
			 suitable for use as a motor fuel.
(D) "Diesel exhaust fluid
			 (DEF)" means a preparation of aqueous urea
			 [(NH2)2CO], containing 32.5 per cent by
			 mass of technically-pure urea in high-purity water with
			 quality characteristics defined by the latest version of "ISO 22241, Diesel
			 engines - NOx reduction agent AUS 32" (edition 2019).
(E) "Diesel fuel" means a refined
			 hydrocarbon suitable for use as
			 a fuel in a compression-ignition (diesel)
			 internal combustion engine that may contain a
			 combination of biodiesel, renewable diesel, and fuel additives.
(F) "Diesel gallon equivalent (DGE)" means
			 6.384 pounds of compressed natural gas or 6.059 pounds of liquefied natural
			 gas.
(G) "Electric vehicle" means
			 an automobile that is propelled by one or more electric motors using electrical
			 energy stored in rechargeable batteries or another energy storage
			 device.
(H) "Ethanol" also known as
			 "ethyl alcohol" means an ethanol blend component for use in gasoline-ethanol
			 blends 
								by blending denatured fuel ethanol.
(I) "Ethanol flex fuel" means a blend of
			 ethanol and hydrocarbons restricted for use as fuel in ground vehicles equipped
			 with flexible fuel spark ignition engines.
(J)
			 "Gasoline" means a volatile mixture of liquid hydrocarbons
			  containing small amounts of
			 additives suitable for use as a fuel in a spark-ignition internal combustion
			 engine.
(K) "Gasoline-Oxygenate
			 Blend" means a fuel consisting primarily of gasoline
			 along with
			 a substantial amount (more than 1 percent by volume oxygenate, or
			 more than 
								0.3 per cent
			 by volume methanol) not to
			 exceed the total oxygen content permitted by applicable laws and regulations.
			 Examples of oxygenates used in gasoline-alcohol blends are ethanol and
			 butanol.
(L) "Gasoline gallon
			 equivalent (GGE)" means 2.567
			 kilograms or 5.660 pounds of compressed natural gas.
(M) "Hydrogen fuel"
			 means a fuel composed of molecular hydrogen intended for consumption in a
			 surface vehicle or electricity production device with an internal combustion
			 engine or fuel cell.
(N) "Internal
			 combustion engine" means a device used to generate power by converting chemical
			 energy bound in the fuel via spark-ignition or compression ignition combustion
			 into mechanical work to power a vehicle or other device.
(O)
			 "Liquefied natural gas (LNG)" means natural gas that has been liquefied at
			 minus one hundred sixty-two degrees Celsius or two hundred sixty degrees
			 Fahrenheit and stored in insulated cryogenic  tanks for use as a motor fuel.
(P) "Liquefied
			 petroleum gas (LPG)" means a mixture of normally
			 gaseous hydrocarbons, predominantly propane, or
			 butane, or both, that has been liquefied by compression,
			 or cooling, or both to facilitate storage,
			 transport, and handling.
(Q) "Motor fuel" means
			 any liquid or gaseous
			 matter used  for
			 the generation of power in an internal combustion
			 engines or electrical energy used to power electrical vehicles.
(R) "Street sign" means
			 a displayed structure bearing letters and symbols used to advertise the retail
			 sale of motor fuel.
