About this file
This file contains Colonial Pipeline Company product specifications for gasoline blendstocks designed for blending with 10% denatured fuel ethanol, applicable to the New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services' fuel procurement (RFB #2614-23). The specifications detail requirements for two primary gasoline types: Conventional Regular Gasoline Blendstock (CBOB) in five grades (A1 through A5) and Reformulated Regular Gasoline Blendstock (RBOB) in five grades (F1 through F5), both meeting 92% purity standards as defined in ASTM D4806. These specifications establish comprehensive technical parameters including octane ratings, vapor pressure (RVP), oxygen content, benzene limits, distillation characteristics, and volatility measurements. The document outlines mandatory testing procedures using ASTM methods, with specific attention to segregated and fungible product requirements, corrosion resistance, sulfur content limitations, and oxidation stability. Grade-specific requirements vary by Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) ratings, with CBOB grades ranging from 8.8 to 15.5 psi and RBOB grades differentiated by VOC control regions and emissions performance reduction percentages.
The specifications impose strict quality control measures including prohibitions on heavy metals, non-hydrocarbon blending components, and dicyclopentadiene concentrations exceeding 0.50 weight percent. All parameters must be met prior to blending with denatured fuel ethanol unless explicitly noted, and delivery test results may vary within ASTM reproducibility or state and EPA regulation tolerances. The document specifies referee test methods for dispute resolution, requires negative results on the Doctor test for mercaptan sulfur requirements, and establishes facility-specific restrictions such as limitations at Woodbury and Linden facilities to Region 2 fuels only. These Colonial Pipeline product specifications serve as the technical foundation for fuel quality assurance under the New Hampshire fuel supply contract, ensuring consistent product performance across the state's ten-county service area.

This is a base gasoline, not for sale to the ultimate consumer.
Any gasoline exhibiting an offensive odor and/or poses a personal health hazard will not be accepted for shipment.
Any gasoline containing more than 0.50 wt. % of dicyclopentadiene will not be accepted for shipment.
The referee method will be based on a gas chromatograph test.
Gasoline designed for gasoline-ethanol blends in accordance with 40 CFR 80.27(d)(2) Suitable for the special RVP provisions for ethanol blends that contain 9 and 10 vol % ethanol.
Delivery test results may vary by the smaller of ASTM reproducibility for a given test or any test tolerance as allowed by state or EPA regulations at the point of delivery.
The use of this gasoline to manufacture a gasoline-ethanol blend containing anything other than between 9 and 10 volume percent ethanol may cause a summertime RVP violation.
Test Results
A1,1A, the RVP of this blendstock/gasoline for oxygenate blending does not exceed 7.8 psi A2,2A, the RVP of this blendstock/gasoline for oxygenate blending does not exceed 9.0 psi
