26、ed in 2.1.2, a component of a product covered by this standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. 2.1.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in the application of the component in the product co

27、vered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 2.1.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 2.1.4 Specic components are incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such

28、 components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions. 2.2 Units of measurement 2.2.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory

29、 or approximate information. 2.3 Undated references 2.3.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. 3 Glossary 3.1 For the purpose of this standard the following denitio

30、ns apply. 3.2 BLENDING OPTION Dispensing devices may be provided with an option that blends two specic fuels into one fuel to be dispensed. This blending occurs at the dispenser level and can be in two forms: a) Fixed blending Blending at the dispenser level that blends two specic fuels into one fue

31、l to be dispensed, and that fuel to be dispensed is xed. For example, xed blending includes blend options where gasoline and denatured fuel ethanol can be blended to achieve E85, which is the actual dispensed fuel. b) Variable blending Blending at the dispenser level that blends two specic fuels int

32、o the fuel to be dispensed, but the fuel to be dispensed can be any of a number of previously set points. For example, variable blending includes blend options where gasoline and E85 can be blended to achieve E40, E60, and E85 as the actual dispensed fuel. 3.3 GASOLINE/ETHANOL BLENDS Blended fuels c

33、omposed of a gasoline component and an ethanol component. The numerical value corresponding to the ethanol component determines the blend rating (such as E85 for 85% ethanol, 15% gasoline).
