As federal government mandates require an increased use of renewable fuel sources, Underground Storage Tank regulators, manufacturers, and operators are considering the potential effects of this transition on the existing petroleum retail infrastructure. The introduction of higher ethanol fuel blends such as E15 and E85 will require extensive study and testing to determining the compatibility of the current national UST infrastructure with these new fuels. Compatibility with systems that are currently installed will need to be addressed as well as compatibility with new products and upgrades.
