How long will high-sulfur diesel fuel be sold at retail outlets?
Under the terms of the Oct. 4 highway diesel sulfur waiver, refiners are allowed to distribute high sulfur diesel fuel through Oct. 25. This high-sulfur diesel fuel will remain in the distribution system after Oct. 25, but parties upstream of the retail level, including terminals, must comply with the highway diesel sulfur standard no later than on Dec. 10. Retail stations will be able to transition their storage tanks to comply with the highway diesel fuel standard after Dec. 10.
