News from Weights and Measures

5 Percent Biodiesel Mandate in #1 Diesel temporarily suspended January 11, 2010
NEWS: The Minnesota Department of Commerce will temporarily waive the requirement that #1 diesel fuel be blended with 5% biodiesel (B5). The waiver, which will become effective Friday, January 15 and last through March 31, 2010, was issued in response to concerns from the Minnesota Biodiesel Council and the Minnesota Petroleum Marketers Association that the mix of 5% biodiesel with #1 diesel fuel could lead to clogged filters in extreme cold weather.
