Fuel distributors in Manitoba will now be able to have seasonal fuel supplies ready for distribution to farm fuel customers in time for the spring planting season.
The old regulation restricted the times of the year that consumers could use seasonal blended fuel.
The provincial government is making a change to the regulation as part of their red tape reduction initiatives.
“We have been looking closely at all our legislation, and have committed to reducing red tape, eliminating outdated legislation and allowing municipalities and the agri-food sector industry to operate more efficiently,” said Sustainable Development Minister Rochelle Squires. “The rules around fuel storage were out of date. This change will help fuel distributors, retailers and agricultural producers by removing unnecessary, redundant requirements.”
Canadian fuel standards have changed over the years, making the enforcement of fuel quality standards by the province redundant.
