(a)
Custom
blending device shall mean any gasoline dispensing device that
delivers a mixture of two gasoline products of different octane
ratings.
(b) Any blended fuel
dispensed in the inspection and test of a custom blending device shall be
returned to the lowest octane storage tank supplying that custom blending
device.
(c) Custom blending devices
where the blending occurs after the measurement of the products shall be
inspected and tested for accuracy according to the procedures set forth below.
(1) Allow 10-second drain period each time
test measure is emptied. To determine proper operation of totalizers, observe
and record the totalizer indications before and after all test
drafts.
(2) Test at lowest octane.
Set selector control so that lowest octane product is dispensed. Normal test -
full flow - basic tolerance.
If the first test is well within tolerance, proceed to
paragraph (3) of this subdivision; otherwise repeat this test.
(3) Check computed price on both sides of
dispenser.
(4) Test at highest
octane. Set selector control so that highest octane product is dispensed.
Normal test - full flow - basic tolerance.
If test is well within tolerance, proceed to paragraph (5) of
this subdivision; otherwise repeat this test.
(5) Check computed price on both sides of
dispenser.
(6) Test at blend -
select an intermediate blend. Special test -slow flow - basic tolerance.
If test is well within tolerance and the error is less than
or equals the average error of the previous two tests, proceed to paragraph (7)
of this subdivision; otherwise slow flow test at first grade above lowest
octane and first grade beneath highest octane (where
applicable).
(7) Check
computed price on both sides of dispenser.
(8) Set money-value computation on other
blends. Set selector control at each of the remaining blends and dispense one
indicated gallon to check computed price.
