EPA Ruling Excludes Small Engines for E15 Blend

On Wednesday, October 13, the Environmental Protection Agency approved the use of E15 blended fuels in 2007 and newer automotive models. The agency has not yet included older models or small engines in the ruling. The current ethanol/gas blend allowed in outdoor power equipment and other small engines is 10%. Many members of our industry are concerned that the E15 fuel will find its way into small engines over time.

What are your thoughts on how the OPE industry will be affected by this? Do you think the industry may someday be included in a future EPA approval of E15 fuel blends?
