IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Important Considerations when Changing Fuel Types
Certain special alternative fuels, such as E85 and additives, can degrade
pump/dispenser performance or integrity if the dispensers are not designed for use with
such fuels. Additionally, converting to certain standard fuels (gasoline, diesel, kerosene,
and so on) from alternative fuels, such as those with ethanol (E85), methanol, or
biodiesel, or from alternative fuels to standard fuels can degrade dispenser performance
or integrity. Similar effects can also occur when converting units to different standard fuel
types.
As per UL 87A requirements, nozzles dispensing E85 fuel must not be used to
dispense any other type of fuel such as Gasoline.
Leaks and potential environmental hazards can result or components may fail
prematurely.
To avoid these issues, follow the guidelines in this section.
WARNING
Follow the guidelines given below when changing fuel types for a pump/dispenser or using
alternative fuels or fluids:
• Verify with your Gasboy ASC or distributor if the fuel you will be using is compatible
with the pumps/dispensers dispensing the fuel.
• For flexible fuel dispensers, do not use standard hydraulic parts used in other Gasboy
pumps/dispensers for service parts in these units. Standard dispenser parts may not be
compatible with fluids.
