Question: What does EPA mean by "blending RVP of oxygenate" (equation in § 80.91(e)(4)(i)(B))?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . This means the effect that an oxygenate has on RVP when it is assumed to have a constant RVP effect per volume added. This is analogous to the blending RVP for any other hydrocarbon, except that blending RVPs…

Does EPA have curves showing the effects of different oxygenate levels on the resulting T50/T90?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . The Agency has developed no such curves. However, since the Complex Model requires the use of E200 and E300 instead of T50 and T90, the effects of different oxygenate levels on E200 and E300 can be back-calculated from…

How does a refinery that in-line blends RFG generate a certificate of analysis (key RFG parameters) prior to shipment as required by the regulations?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . For the simple model, refiners who petitioned for an exemption from the independent sampling and testing requirements are required to specify their reasonable basis for knowing that the fuel meets the standards for benzene and oxygen, and RVP…

Section 80.41(h)(1) specifies that RFG may contain no heavy metals. What specifically does that mean, and is a refiner required to test for the presence of heavy metals?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . The prohibition of heavy metals in RFG means that heavy metals may not be added, nor may it contain more than trace levels that may be picked up from the transportation/distribution system. In fact, no substantially similar unleaded…

For downstream compliance, has EPA addressed the issue that two complying batches mixed downstream may not comply when tested downstream?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . In the development of the Complex Model, EPA investigated the possibility that two complying batches, when mixed, may not comply with the RFG standards. This "fungibility" issue arises out of the model's nonlinear character. Based on a Monte…
