Section 590.0505 - Diesel fuel labeled "premier," "premium," "super" or "supreme": Adoption by reference of standard specifications; compliance with certain requirements1. The State Board of Agriculture hereby adopts by reference the most recent version of the standards set forth in paragraphs (a) to (k), inclusive, as set forth in the Annual Book of ASTM Standards published by ASTM International. Each new revision of the standards set forth in paragraphs (a) to (k) shall be deemed approved by the Board unless the revision is disapproved by the Board or its designee within 120 days after the date of publication of the revision by ASTM International. A copy of each standard is available for inspection pursuant to NAC 590.045 and may be purchased from ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, P.O. Box C700, West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania 19428-2959, or at the Internet address http://www.astm.org, for the following prices:(a) ASTM D975, "Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel" for the price of $75;(b) ASTM D613, "Standard Test Method for Cetane Number of Diesel Fuel Oil" for the price of $58;(c) ASTM D6890, "Standard Test Method for Determination of Ignition Delay and Derived Cetane Number (DCN) of Diesel Fuel Oils by Combustion in a Constant Volume Chamber" for the price of $58;(d) ASTM D7668, "Standard Test Method for Determination of Derived Cetane Number (DCN) of Diesel Fuel Oils-Ignition Delay and Combustion Delay Using a Constant Volume Combustion Chamber Method" for the price of $58;(e) ASTM D2500, "Standard Test Method for Cloud Point of Petroleum Products and Liquid Fuels" for the price of $52;(f) ASTM D4539, "Standard Test Method for Filterability of Diesel Fuels by Low-Temperature Flow Test (LTFT)" for the price of $52;(g) ASTM D6371, "Standard Test Method for Cold Filter Plugging Point of Diesel and Heating Fuels" for the price of $52;(h) ASTM D6079, "Standard Test Method for Evaluating Lubricity of Diesel Fuels by the High-Frequency Reciprocating Rig (HFRR)" for the price of $52;(i) ASTM D7688, "Standard Test Method for Evaluating Lubricity of Diesel Fuels by the High-Frequency Reciprocating Rig (HFRR) by Visual Observation" for the price of $52;(j) ASTM D7548 "Standard Test Method for Determination of Accelerated Iron Corrosion in Petroleum Products" for the price of $58; and(k) ASTM D2068, "Standard Test Method for Determining Filter Blocking Tendency" for the price of $52.2. The State Board of Agriculture hereby adopts by reference the most recent version of NACE TM0172, "Determining Corrosive Properties of Cargoes in Petroleum Product Pipelines" published by NACE International. Each new revision of that standard shall be deemed approved by the Board unless the revision is disapproved by the Board or its designee within 120 days after the date of publication of the revision. A copy of the standard is available for inspection pursuant to NAC 590.045 and may be purchased from NACE International, 15835 Park Ten Place, Houston, Texas 77084, or at the Internet address http://nace.org, for the price of $79.3. Any diesel fuel identified on retail dispensers as "premier," "premium," "super" or "supreme": (a) Must have a cetane number of 47 or more as determined by ASTM D613, ASTM D6890 or ASTM D7668.(b) Must have a maximum wear scar diameter of 460 micrometers as determined by ASTM D6079 or ASTM D7688.(c) Must have a corrosion rating of "B+" or better as determined by NACE TM0172 or ASTM D7548.(d) Must have filter blocking tendency of 2.2 or less as determined by procedure B of ASTM D2068.(e) If sold between October 1 and March 31, must have a cold flow performance measurement which satisfies the tenth percentile minimum ambient air temperature charts from ASTM D975 as determined by ASTM D2500 or ASTM D4539. ASTM D6371 may be used when the test results are 6 degrees Celsius (42.8 degrees Fahrenheit) or less below the cloud point.4. Any diesel fuel:(a) Sold under an select grade classification other than "premier," "premium," "super" or "supreme";(b) Sold under a product name that implies improved performance; or(c) Advertised as providing improved performance on any marketing device, including, without limitation, a dispenser, pump topper, pole sign or bollard, must provide a substantial functional benefit that is measurable using industry accepted test methodologies developed by the ASTM, SAE or other standards organization approved by the State Board of Agriculture.Nev.
