Many vendors can supply labels that bring you into compliance with the mandate.

For blends containing between 5% and 20% biodiesel, use the following labels:

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulates labeling for fuel dispensers.

• Dispensers selling blends containing between 5% and 20% biodiesel must be labeled as either BIODIESEL BLEND or B20 BIODIESEL BLEND.  
• Dispensers selling blends containing more than 20% must be labeled “Bxx.”

Consider the cost of labeling requirements when deciding to whether to exceed to minimum biodiesel content requirement from October – March. If you choose to keep you biodiesel content between 5% and 20%, you can keep the BIODIESEL BLEND label on the dispensers all year long. All retailers must label their dispensers as either BIODIESEL BLEND or as B20 BIODIESEL BLEND when the fuel contains between 5% and 20% biodiesel.

The minimum biodiesel content in diesel fuels required by Minnesota Statute has changed to 20%. The Weights and Measures Division of the Minnesota Department of Commerce wants to help you understand this change.

• For the months of October – March, diesel must contain at least 5% biodiesel.
• From April 1st - 14th, diesel must contain at least 10% biodiesel.
• From April 15th – September 30th, diesel must contain 20% biodiesel.
• #1 diesel is exempt from the biodiesel requirement year round.
• The amount of biodiesel required in a #1/#2 blend will depend upon the blend ratio of the two products and the required bio content of the #2 diesel during that time of the year.
