6 | (815 ILCS 370/4.1) (from Ch. 5, par. 1704.1)
| ||||||
7 | Sec. 4.1. (a) Upon any retail motor fuel dispensing device | ||||||
8 | which is
used to dispense a motor fuel containing at least 1% | ||||||
9 | by volume of ethanol,
of methanol,
or of a combination thereof, | ||||||
10 | there shall be displayed a label
which identifies the maximum | ||||||
11 | percentage by volume, to the nearest whole
percent, of ethanol, | ||||||

contrasting colors with block | ||||||
14 | letters at least 1/2 inch in height and 1/4 inch
in width, and | ||||||
15 | not more than one inch in height and 1/2 inch in width, and | ||||||

1 | the front or sides of
the dispenser and within the top 30 | ||||||
2 | percent of the height of the dispenser. On
a dual-faced | ||||||
3 | dispenser, the label shall be affixed on each front or each | ||||||
4 | side
in accordance with these requirements.
Devices used to | ||||||
5 | dispense only motor fuels which contain
a total of less than 1% | ||||||

17 | the dispenser.
On
a dual-faced dispenser, the label shall be | ||||||
18 | affixed on each front or each side
in accordance with these | ||||||
19 | requirements. Devices used to dispense only motor
fuels
that | ||||||

| ||||||
6 | (a) the capital letter "B" followed by the | ||||||
7 | numerical value representing the maximum volume | ||||||
8 | percentage of biodiesel fuel and ending with | ||||||
9 | "biodiesel blend", such as B10 biodiesel fuel blend or | ||||||
10 | B20 biodiesel fuel blend; or
| ||||||
11 | (b) the phrase "biodiesel blend between 5% and 20%" | ||||||
12 | or similar words.
