Sub Octane Conversion (Update #3)

We have more information on the sub-octane conversion to share with you.  Details continue to emerge and even change before the mid-September conversion date.  Now is the time to start planning for your stations and bulk plants. 

  PRODUCT SLATE AT TERMINALS

Attached you will find a chart of products that will be available at the terminals.  It is now up to the suppliers to notify their customers on what they will offer.  Fauser Energy has heard from some suppliers, but many have not made that information public at this time.

Please note that we are still in the planning phase of this transition and we could see changes as we go along.

CONVERTING YOUR NO LEAD TANK; TO NO LEAD WITH ETHANOL

 

If you have not checked with your equipment company on converting your straight tank over to a blended (with ethanol) tank, please contact them soon. 

The following steps should be taken in preparation BEFORE E10 is introduced:

·         Confirm that all tanks, dispensers, nozzles, hoses, valves, vapor recovery lines, etc. are compatible with ethanol blended product.

·         Confirm that no outside water can get into your system.  Checking seals, spill drains and fill caps is suggested.

·         Run tank to the bottom before the first delivery of ethanol blended product is accepted into tank.

·         Check for water in the bottom of the tanks.  Remove any water in the tank as much as possible.  One-fourth of an inch or less is preferable.  Using a water finding paste that is compatible with ethanol is suggested.  Talk to your equipment company.

·         It is suggested that you have extra filters on hand.  Ethanol based product will “clean” the tank, lines, etc.  Talk to your equipment company.

·         Confirm that the proper labeling is on your pumps.  If you need different octane stickers and/or ethanol stickers, please let your Fauser Representative know.
