Time is short for US products pipelines preparing to ship reformulated gasoline (RFG) required by 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act (CAA). As currently written, CAA final RFG rules, issued last Feb. 16 by the US Environmental Protection Agency, appear likely to upset US products pipeline logistics as never before. Operating strategies and business relationships throughout the country's refined products transportation, storage, and distribution industry will be changed. Precisely what changes are in store isn't certain because at this late date a long list regulatory, fiscal, and technical questions remain unanswered. Possibly no two companies in the chain linking US RFG and conventional gasoline supplies to retail consumers will be affected in the same way, but virtually all will be affected. The paper discusses the problems the rules have created, market disruption, operating constraints, operating constraints, coming adjustments, market imbalances, gasoline grades, and short time for preparation for compliance.
