109 Corporate Drive * Frankfort KY 40601 The Motor Fuel Quality Testing Laboratory is responsible for the inspection and testing of gasoline, gasoline-alcohol blends, diesel, and biodiesel fuels to ensure that the quality of the product complies with Kentucky state law and ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards and specifications. Fuel quality pertains not only to factors affecting the drivability of a vehicle and the volatility of the fuel, but also to health and environmental issues such as the federally mandated decrease in sulfur amounts to promote cleaner emissions and the ban of MTBE, a fuel additive found to contaminate ground water.
