Fuel Quality Program
This program administers the fuel quality law through inspection, analysis and enforcement to help ensure consumers are purchasing quality motor fuels. Fuel samples are collected by field personnel and submitted for testing. The petroleum laboratory analyzes gasoline, kerosene, heating fuels, diesel fuels and alternative fuels including biodiesel and E85 fuel ethanol to make certain they meet state quality and safety standards. Field personnel also inspect filling stations and fuel terminals to ensure proper labeling and blending, and ensure fuels are not exposed to conditions that would compromise their quality. The fuel quality program is also responsible for administering and enforcing the Missouri Renewable Fuel Standard Act. With several exceptions, the Act provides that effective January 1, 2008 all gasoline sold or offered for sale in Missouri at retail shall be fuel ethanol-blended gasoline (90% gasoline and 10% fuel ethanol). Stakeholder input was instrumental in developing rules and regulations for the Act.
