diesel fuel reporting;
repeal
HB 2374 repeals the statute (ARS section 41-2129) requiring diesel fuel sampling and reporting to the Department of Weights and Measures (DWM).
The diesel fuel sampling and reporting requirement was added by Laws 1999, Chapter 295.
This statute requires gasoline refiners and other suppliers of diesel fuel, intended as a final product for the fueling of diesel vehicles in Maricopa County and the Pinal and Yavapai county portions of area A, to report monthly the quantity and quality of diesel fuel produced or shipped during the preceding month from January 1 through July 1 of each year.
The following information must be reported by batch:
- Sulfur content.
- Aromatic hydrocarbon content.
- Cetane number.
- Specific gravity.
- American Petroleum Institute gravity.
- The temperatures at which ten per cent, fifty per cent and ninety per cent of the diesel fuel boiled off during distillation.
DWM must report the results to DEQ by October 1 of each year following the reporting period.
The values reported for the past three years have remained relatively unchanged.
