1. Fuel Quality Standards Development Post CAA Accomplishment Fuels
PNS/DOE QS 001:2005 for Unleaded Motor Gasoline Specs
Continuing quality improvement to harmonize international/regional
environmental standard for fuel quality, to wit:
Reduced the maximum sulfur content to 0.05% mass for all grades (EURO conformance);
Pb contamination tolerance reduced to g/L maximum;
Ethers reduced to 2% maximum by volume,
Alcohol are now specified and limited to ethanol.
Deleted/phased-out the Regular Plus grade (87 RON); and
Regular gasoline grade to include a provision on the pump label “NOT RECOMMENDED FOR VEHICLES WITH FOUR (4) OR MORE WHEELS
PNS/DOE QS 006:2005 for Fuel Oil (Bunker) Specs
– updating of standards
