Motor Fuel, as defined by 6 Del C c. 29 § 2901(6), "shall mean and include any substance or combination of substances which is intended to be or is capable of being used for the purpose of propelling or running by combustion any internal combustion engine and sold or used for that purpose". Fuel Testing:The Office of Retail Gasoline Sales is responsible for insuring that any motor fuel sold at retail or intended to be sold at retail in the State of Delaware meets or exceeds the specifications of motor fuels as defined by the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM). In order to determine whether or not these motor fuels meet the specifications, fuel testing is performed. Such testing is typically performed as part of the routine compliance process. Fuel testing is also performed when consumer complaints are received, due to automobile performance problems experienced after purchase of product from a particular station.
