(ix) "Fuel oil" means a refined petroleum product, commonly known as heating oil, furnace oil, domestic oil or distillates, used for heating, power generation and cooking purposes, including all grades and qualities;

(x) "Gasoline" means a volatile substance produced, manufactured, blended, distilled or compounded from petroleum, natural gas, oil, shale oils or coal and other volatile flammable liquids which can be used as a fuel in a spark ignition internal combustion engine, and which meets the standards and specifications of this act. "Gasoline" includes all grades and qualities, leaded or unleaded, but excludes diesel fuel;

(xi) "Gasohol" means a motor fuel composed of ninety percent (90%) gasoline by volume and ten percent (10%) denatured ethanol by volume;

(xii) "Kerosene" means a refined petroleum product, also known as kerosine, used as heating or illuminating oil that includes all grades and qualities;

(xiii) "Liquefied petroleum gas" or "LP" means a volatile petroleum product which can be used as either a liquid or a gas for domestic, commercial, industrial or engine fuel, including all grades and qualities, composed predominately of the following hydrocarbons or mixtures thereof: propane, propylene, butanes and butylenes, but excluding prepackaged nonrefillable liquefied petroleum gas products;

(xiv) "Mislabeled" means a package label or dispensing device of a product which bears any statement, design or device regarding it, regarding ingredients or substances therein, or regarding the properties, quality or kind of the products, which is false or misleading in any manner;

(xv) "Petroleum products" means all illuminating, fuel and power oils, which are products of petroleum, or into which petroleum or any product of petroleum enters or is found as a constituent, and includes but is not limited to gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, fuel oil, gasohol, gasoline alcohol blends, biodiesel blends, engine fuels and liquefied petroleum gas. Any petroleum product sold at retail shall have a designation and meet specifications provided by the ASTM;

(xvi) "Products" means all petroleum products and antifreeze products;

(xvii) "Retail dealer" means any dealer or person who sells products to the consumer or user of the products;

(xviii) "Sell" or "sale" means the delivery or distribution of a product to a consumer and includes barter and exchange;

(xix) "Wholesale dealer" or "supplier" means a dealer who sells products to a retail dealer;

(xx) "Biodiesel" means a fuel comprised of mono akyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animal fats which may or may not be blended with diesel fuel;

(xxi) "Biofuel" means any commercially produced liquid or gas used to propel motor vehicles or otherwise substitute for liquid or gaseous fuels that is derived from agricultural crops or residues or from forest products or byproducts, as distinct from petroleum or other fossil carbon sources. "Biofuel" includes, but is not limited to, ethanol, methanol derived from biomass, levulinic acid, biodiesel, pyrolysis oils from wood, hydrogen or methane from biomass, or combinations of any of the above that may be used to propel motor vehicles either alone or in blends with conventional gasoline or diesel fuels;

(xxii) "Nonrefined products" means any liquid or gas added to diesel, gasoline or gasohol comprising more than one-half of one percent (.5%) by volume and that:

(A) Is not refined; or

(B) Was added after the diesel fuel, gasoline or gasohol left the refinery.

(xxiii) "Oxygenate" means an oxygen-containing, ashless, organic compound which can be used as a fuel, or fuel supplement such as, but not limited to, ether, ethanol, methanol and other alcohols;

(xxiv) "Refining" means the cracking, distillation, separation, conversion, upgrading, and finishing of petroleum products;

(xxv) "Biodiesel blend" means a fuel comprised of a blend of biodiesel fuel with petroleum-based diesel fuel, designated BXX. In the abbreviation BXX, the "XX" represents the volume percentage of biodiesel fuel in the blend;

(xxvi) "E85 fuel ethanol" means a blend of ethanol and hydrocarbons of which the ethanol portion is nominally seventy-five percent (75%) to eighty-five percent (85%) volume denatured fuel ethanol;

(xxvii) "Engine fuel" means any liquid or gaseous matter used for the generation of power in an internal combustion engine. "Engine fuel" includes but is not limited to fuels derived from petroleum, biomass and vegetable oils, new or used. Any engine fuel sold at retail must have a designation and meet specifications provided by the ASTM;

(xxviii) "Ethanol" or "denatured fuel ethanol" means nominally anhydrous ethyl alcohol meeting ASTM D 4806 standards. It is intended to be blended with gasoline for use as a fuel in a spark-ignition internal combustion engine. The denatured fuel ethanol is first made unfit for drinking by the addition of United States bureau of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms approved substances before blending with gasoline;

(xxix) "Gasoline alcohol blend" means a fuel consisting primarily of gasoline and a substantial amount (more than thirty-five hundredths percent (0.35%) mass of oxygen or more than fifteen hundredths percent (0.15%) mass of oxygen if methanol is the only oxygenate) of one (1) or more alcohols;

(xxx) "Low sulfur" means low sulfur diesel fuel that meets ASTM D 975 standards, including grade low sulfur no. 1-D S500 or grade low sulfur no. 2-D S500. Diesel fuel containing higher amounts of sulfur for off-road use is defined by United States environmental protection agency regulations;

(xxxi) "M100 fuel methanol" means nominally anhydrous methyl alcohol, generally containing small amounts of additives, suitable for use as a fuel in a compression-ignition internal combustion engine;

(xxxii) "M85 fuel methanol" means a blend of methanol and hydrocarbons of which the methanol portion is nominally seventy percent (70%) to eighty-five percent (85%) volume;

(xxxiii) "Oxygen content of gasoline" means the percentage of oxygen by mass contained in a gasoline;
