526.06 Mixing, blending, compounding, or adulteration of liquid fuels of same manufacturer prohibited; sale of gasoline blended with ethanol.

It is unlawful for any person to mix, blend, compound, or adulterate the liquid fuel, lubricating oil, grease, or similar product of a manufacturer or distributor with a liquid fuel, lubricating oil, grease, or similar product of the same manufacturer or distributor of a character or nature different from the character or nature of the liquid fuel, lubricating oil, grease, or similar product so mixed, blended, compounded, or adulterated, and expose for sale, offer for sale, or sell the same as the unadulterated product of such manufacturer or distributor or as the unadulterated product of any other manufacturer or distributor. However, nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prevent the lawful owner of such products from applying his, her, or its own trademark, trade name, or symbol to any product or material. Ethanol-blended fuels which contain unleaded gasoline and up to 10 percent denatured ethanol by volume may be sold at retail service stations for use in motor vehicles. To provide retail service stations flexibility during the transition period to ethanol-blended fuels, the T50 and TV/L specifications for gasoline containing between 9 and 10 percent ethanol shall be applied to all gasoline containing between 1 and 10 percent ethanol by volume provided the last three or fewer deliveries contained between 9 and 10 percent ethanol by volume. If there is no reasonable availability of ethanol or the price of ethanol exceeds the price of gasoline, the T50 and TV/L specifications for gasoline containing between 9 and 10 percent ethanol shall be applicable for gasoline containing between 1 and 10 percent ethanol for up to three deliveries of fuel.
