Automotive Fuel Testing Program and Labeling Requirement

The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture may test automotive fuel, including alternative fuels, on a random, unannounced basis. For the purpose of this testing requirement, alternative fuels include, but are not limited to, methanol; mixtures of gasoline containing 85% or more by volume of methanol, denatured ethanol, and other alcohols; liquefied natural gas; liquefied petroleum gas; and coal-derived liquid fuels. Automotive fuel retailers must label fuel dispensers with the appropriate automotive fuel rating.
