Scope

1.1 This specification covers natural gasoline to be used as a hydrocarbon blendstock in ethanol fuel blends for flexiblefuel automotive spark-ignition engines (Specification D5798). In the United States, these blends are referred to commercially as Ethanol Flex Fuel. 1.2 This specification also covers natural gasoline to be used as a denaturant in denatured fuel ethanol for blending with gasolines for use as automotive spark-ignition engine fuel (Specification D4806). 1.3 Specific regulatory requirements for the intended uses from various jurisdictions are given in appendixes for information. 1.4 This specification is not intended to provide a market specification nor a regulatory reference for natural gasoline for any use other than as a hydrocarbon blendstock in ethanol fuel blends or as a denaturant in denatured fuel ethanol. 1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. 1.5.1 Exception—Values given in parentheses are provided for information only.
