This documentation is only for dispenser labeling purposes; it is the responsibility of any potential blender to determine the total oxygen content of the motor fuel before blending.
(T) Liquefied petroleum gas.
(1) Quantity: All liquefied petroleum gases, including but not limited to propane, butane, and mixtures thereof, shall be kept, offered, exposed for sale, or sold by the pound, metered cubic foot of vapor (defined as one cubic foot at sixty degrees Fahrenheit), or cubic meter, or the gallon (defined as two hundred thirty-one cubic inches at sixty degrees Fahrenheit). All metered sales by the gallon, except those using meters with a maximum rated capacity of twenty gallons per minute or less, shall be accomplished by use of a meter and device that automatically compensates for temperature.
(2) Sale by weight; marking required: When liquefied petroleum gas is sold or offered for sale at retail by weight, in portable containers, the tare weight of the container shall be plainly and conspicuously marked on the outside of the container or on a label firmly attached thereto. Tare weight shall not be construed to include the valve protecting cap, which shall be removed when weighing. It is unlawful to sell or offer or expose for sale liquefied petroleum gas in packages or containers which do not bear a statement as to tare weight as required by this paragraph, or which packages or containers bear a false statement as to tare weight, provided packages intended to be used only once and clearly marked with the statement "not refillable" are exempt from this tare weight requirement.
(3) Refilling; credit: Liquefied petroleum gas, when sold by refilling of a container or an exchange of containers (the vendor shall give the purchaser full credit for the unused liquid remaining in a container being exchanged or refilled). Exempt from this requirement are all lift truck motor fuel cylinders, one-hundred-pound cylinders used for construction purposes, and any cylinders less than forty pounds that are exchanged rather than refilled when the purchaser is notified that no refilling credit will be given. This notification shall be accomplished by way of an appropriate sign or written agreement.
(4) Service charge and unit price: If the vendor charges the purchaser for the labor involved in refilling a container of one hundred pounds or less, the vendor must display the amount of the service charge and the unit price at which the product is offered for sale. The service charge and unit price shall be conspicuously displayed so it may be observed from some reasonable customer position.
(5) Delivery ticket or sales invoice: An invoice shall be submitted to the purchaser showing the quantity of liquefied petroleum gas sold, expressed in pounds, gallons, cubic feet, or other unit approved by the department of agriculture and the unit price of the product. When vapor meters reading in approved units other than cubic feet are used, the invoice shall clearly indicate to the purchaser a factor to convert to gallons. When a nonautomatic temperature-compensated meter is used, all retail or wholesale sale tickets shall show metered gallons, the temperature of the product at the time of delivery and the corrected gallonage to sixty degrees Fahrenheit. When an automatic temperature-compensated meter is used, all retail or wholesale sale tickets shall show the metered gallonage corrected to sixty degrees Fahrenheit.
