According to a recent survey, 70% of American consumers said they have spilled gasoline on their hands, clothes, car or outdoor power equipment when trying to fill up their outdoor power equipment or vehicle.
A bipartisan coalition of members of the U.S. House of Representatives introduced legislation on Feb. 4 to overhaul the current Renewable Fuel Standard regulations and its outdated ethanol mandates.
The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) will showcase its one-fuel solution for both dealers and landscape contractors in Booth #7094 at GIE+EXPO Oct. 23-25, 2013.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has mandated that all consumers in the United States must purchase at least 4 gallons of gasoline when they go to the gas station, if they are getting fuel from a pump that also offers a new E15 ethanol-gasoline blend.
"E15 has been hamstrung this summer because of summer volatility rules, governed by the EPA," said Robert White, director of market development for the Renewable Fuels Association.
The government has settled on a label for gas stations selling a blend of gasoline and ethanol called E15, which contains more ethanol -- grain alcohol -- than the E10 blend that's replaced pure gasoline at most stations.
Several major U.S. oil refiners said Tuesday that they won't sell gasoline containing 15% ethanol despite recent government authorization for fuel makers to start distributing the fuel blend.
The fight against a higher blend of ethanol in gasoline has heated up with two automotive trade groups, small-engine makers and marine manufacturers expected to take court action on Monday.
