ASTSWMO Emerging Fuels Task Force The mission of the Emerging Fuels Task Force is to assist the States’ and Territories’ UST programs by providing resources and informa on related to managing the storage and releases of new fuels that are in use or in development.
Owners and operators of USTs regulated under 40 CFR part 280 are required to demonstrate compliance with U.S. EPA’s compa bility requirement (40 CFR 280.32) when storing regulated substances, including motor fuels and biofuel blends containing greater than 10 percent ethanol or diesel containing greater than 20 percent biodiesel.
This tool was developed to assist UST program regulators, owners, and contractors in verifying compa bility of petroleum equipment with fuel stored by providing a simple interface for users to find informa on provided by equipment manufacturers, including manufacturer compliance le ers.
Users are able to verify UST system component compa bility by either 1) searching based on fuel type to iden fy compa ble components or 2) by searching for a specific manufacturer to iden fy compa ble components.
Manufacturers and regulators are also able to use this tool to provide updates to ASTSWMO as new components become available or when specifica ons for exis ng components are changed.
This is intended to be a living resource that will con nue to evolve as industry con nues to respond to changing formula ons within the fuel supply.
Users may also submit ques ons, highlight problems, or iden fy inaccuracies by using the “submit informa on” feature of the tool.
