§804. Separate storage tanks for taxable special fuels and for tax-free storage

A. All users, dealers, and suppliers of special fuels who maintain their own storage tanks in this state except users of liquefied petroleum gas or compressed natural gas as fuel, are required to have a separate storage tank for taxable special fuels, which tanks are to be physically separate and apart from any other tanks or fueling units, and to indicate it by placing thereon or nearby in a conspicuous place the words "Tax-Paid Fuels" in letters not less than five inches high. Suppliers are required to collect the tax on all special fuels delivered into such tanks.

B. All suppliers, dealers, and users who have facilities for storing special fuels other than liquefied petroleum gas or compressed natural gas not intended for motor vehicle use and which facilities are suitable to fuel motor vehicles using special fuels other than liquefied petroleum gas or compressed natural gas, shall mark such storage facilities with the words "Dyed Fuel - Not for Motor Vehicle Use" in letters not less than five inches high, and suppliers may deliver into such storage without collecting the tax levied hereunder. If such tanks are not provided then all special fuels delivered by suppliers into storage tanks suitable for fueling motor vehicles become taxable.

C. Any special fuel other than liquefied petroleum gas or compressed natural gas which is not intended for motor vehicle use and is stored in separate facilities as provided in Subsection B of this Section must be indelibly dyed and chemically marked in accordance with regulations issued by the secretary of the Treasury of the United States under 26 U.S.C. 4082.
