Alternative Fuel Labeling Requirement
Alternative fuels must be labeled at the retail dispensing unit with the price, name, and main components of the alternative fuel or alternative fuel blend. The labeling must follow established labeling specifications for petroleum-based fuels. A producer of alternative fuels may provide a label promoting the benefits of the alternative fuel if the label meets the requirements specified. Alternative fuel is defined as a fuel used in an engine or vehicle other than a petroleum-based fuel. Alcohol fuel blends containing at least 1% of alcohol by volume must also be clearly labeled at the dispenser and on any price advertisements. (Reference North Dakota Century Code 19-10-03.1 and 19-10-03.3)
Alternative Fuel Tax Rates
A special excise tax rate of 2% is imposed on the sale of liquefied petroleum gas and a tax of $0.04 per gallon is imposed on all sales special fuels, including compressed natural gas. (Reference North Dakota Century Code 57-43.2-02 and 57-43.2-03)
