HF247

This bill in Minnesota allows retail gasoline stations to have more than one tank for storing non-oxygenated (non-ethanol) gasoline, under certain conditions. This type of gasoline can be sold for specific uses like collector vehicles, off-road vehicles, motorcycles, boats, snowmobiles, and small engines. The new rules set out by this bill are:

1. Non-oxygenated gasoline must be premium grade and should be used solely for the specified types of vehicles and equipment.
2. Gasoline stations can have up to two storage tanks for non-oxygenated gasoline if they are within five miles of a motor sports racing facility; otherwise, they are limited to one tank.
3. Stations must display clear signage at the pump indicating that the gasoline is non-oxygenated and specifying what it can be used for.
4. Stations selling this type of gasoline are required to register every two years and report their annual sales of non-oxygenated gasoline.

The bill aims to provide easier access to non-oxygenated gasoline for vehicles and equipment where it's preferable or necessary, while also ensuring proper signage and regulation to prevent misuse.
