It is recommended that whenever making non-equivalent fuel conversions, all units be
checked for calibration within one month after the fuel conversion.

Some non-equivalent fuel conversions must change the pump/dispenser filter type previously
used. For any changes required, consult your ASC or Gilbarco Distributor.
Dispensing Gasoline/Ethanol Blends
The blending option provided on these dispensers is intended for the blending of
Gasoline/ethanol blends designated as E85 with gasoline or gasohol (E10 maximum) to
achieve an intermediate gasoline/ethanol blend.
Standard gasoline or Gasohol (E10 maximum) must not be dispensed through the
same hose as that used for dispensing higher ethanol blend fuels (E11 to E85).
