The Trump administration is reportedly planning to have the EPA waive existing seasonal restrictions on the sale of gasoline blended with 15% ethanol, according to a report from the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute.
As E15 re-enters the marketplace following the summertime ban, consumers are again advised to 'Look Before You Pump,'" says Kris Kiser, OPEI President and CEO.
A nationwide poll reveals 11% of outdoor power equipment owners have mis-fueled and used gasoline with higher than E10 in products not designed for it.
The free consumer and dealer education materials were updated in light of increased availability of higher ethanol fuel blends at gasoline filling stations.
Kris Kiser, president of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute, talks about what's happening now with the Renewable Fuel Standard and what dealers can do.
Poll results show that almost 64% of American adults age 18+ who own outdoor power equipment say they either are not sure (42%) or do not pay any attention (22%) to what type of fuel they are using.
