§ 160.260. Liquid fuels.

(a) Definitions. Whenever used in this section:

(1)

"Tank, truck, trailer or other wheeled conveyance" shall mean an assembly used for the delivery of liquids, comprising a tank, which may or may not be subdivided into two (2) or more compartments, mounted upon a wagon, automobile, truck or trailer, together with its accessory piping, valves, meters, etc.

(2)

"Liquid fuels" shall include fuel in liquid form, which can or may be used for heating purposes and which has an American Petroleum Institute gravity nominally greater than twenty-two (22) and a Saybolt Universal viscosity of fifty (50) seconds at one hundred (100) degrees Fahrenheit, or less.

(b)

Methods of measuring. No person shall sell, offer for sale, deliver or attempt to deliver any petroleum product or other liquid to be used for fuel for heating purposes, hereinbefore defined as "liquid fuels," by tank, truck, trailer or other wheeled conveyance, unless measured at the place of delivery by standard liquid gallon or five-gallon measure, or by a meter which has been tested, approved and sealed by the Minnesota Division of Weights and Measures. No deliveries of liquid fuels on a meter basis shall be made when a meter is broken and out-of-order, or the seal has been broken or tampered with, defaced or otherwise mutilated. If any meter used upon such tank, truck, trailer or other wheeled conveyance shall become out-of-order, or for any reason inaccurately measured liquid fuel, the person using the same shall immediately report such fact to the consumer affairs division, which division may issue a written permit to sell and deliver liquid fuel from compartments which have been calibrated, and whose indicators have been sealed by the Minnesota Division of Weights and Measures, in lieu thereof, for not to exceed forty-eight (48) hours. This section shall not apply to the delivery of liquid fuel by one (1) dealer to another. (Code 1960, As Amend., § 834.020; 2013-Or-133, § 10, 12-6-13)
