The statute now reads that the mandate would move to B20 on May 1, 2018. Quay Zander Energy Manager (952) 466-3727 Before implementing blending requirements of B10 and B20, state offi cials must ensure that [email protected] a variety of conditions are met including suf- fi cient fuel and/or feedstock supply, adequate blending infrastruc- ture, and the existence of federal standards for mandated blends. When do we start blending winter fuels? We are starting to get requests for winter blending of diesel fuel. Right now we utilize most of our tanks for summer fuel, but we always maintain some #1 diesel year-round. This allows us to make a special blend if needed. After harvest, we will start placing blended and additive-treated fuel in our storage tanks for the winter. Rich Pauly Energy Sales (952) 466-3725 [email protected] There are cases – such as a generator that may not use fuel for several months – that we want to make sure there is a correct blend of fuel in the tank to ensure the reliable starting and effi cient running to keep power going to your necessary equipment. We strive to do our very best to deliver quality performance year after year, as well as during any time of the year with the blends of winter fuels we provide our customers. 82 YEARS Strong & The Mid-County Energy Team Serving you, our customer with: • Bulk Commercial and Agricultural Fuels www.midcountycoop.com • Construction Fuels • Propane • Home Heat • Lubricants & Oils Growing Your Locally Owned & Operated Coop Page 3
