See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help.

During the transition period prior to December 1, 1994, certified RFG may be put into tanks that contain conventional gasoline bottoms, as long as the tank is essentially filled with certified RFG gasoline on December 1, 1994, and the gasoline is properly sampled and tested and is in compliance with the RFG downstream standards.
