Motor Fuel Quality

Home>Motor Fuel Quality

The Weights and Measures Services Division (WMSD) motor fuel quality program administers the laws and regulations for fuel quality through inspection, analysis, and enforcement to help ensure that consumers are purchasing quality transportation fuels that meet or exceed applicable air quality standards. Fuel samples are inspected and screened in the field by investigators and potentially non-compliant fuel is collected for testing at a state of the art laboratory which uses the latest analytical equipment and test procedures to provide precise results. In addition, samples are collected for laboratory analysis during randomly scheduled unannounced inspections and when fuel quality complaints are received by WMSD. WMSD will follow up with laboratory analysis of gasoline, diesel fuels, high octane racing fuels, and biofuels (including biodiesel blends and ethanol flex fuel) to make certain they meet the specifications adopted in the Arizona Revised Statutes and Arizona Administrative Code.
