Frequently Asked Questions

On-Road Pump Label FAQ's

Q:

Will marketers be required to purchase the new ULSD (15-ppm) pump decal (that is effective Oct. 1, 2010) or can they still use their current decal?
A: Any fuel location dispensing highway (on-road) ULSD (15-ppm) must display the new decal containing the revised EPA-approved language.
 

Q: 

Why is the EPA changing the language for the current highway (on-road) ULSD?
A: In 2006, the EPA established a set timeframe for use regarding this particular label. The effective timeframe was June 1, 2006 – May 31, 2010. The EPA has revised the language on this label to exclude any references to model years since all vehicles are now included in the regulation.
 

Q: 

I am a fleet and I only fuel internal vehicles. Do I still need a label?

A:

Yes. EPA requires all dispensers fueling on-road vehicles to be labeled appropriately.
 

Q:

My diesel pumps fuel only off-road vehicles. Do I need this label?

A:

No, you would need the off-road ULSD label.  However, this label has not changed. It is still current under the EPA regulations. Click here if you need this label.
 
Q: Do marketers and distributors in California need to label their dispensers?
A: No. California has a federal EPA exemption from diesel labeling.
 
Q: Are utility companies (such as gas and electric companies) that have pump dispensers on company property and are used solely for company vehicles required to have labels?
A: Yes. The labeling requirements do apply to utility companies even if an entity never drives the vehicles off the premises (e.g., at a mining operation).
