Ethanol blends
Italy’s Legislative No. 66, of March 21, 2005, relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuel allows the sale of gasoline with up to 10% v/v of bioethanol in gasoline grade E10. This is the so-called conventional gasoline grade. Currently, Italian fuel suppliers sell gasoline blended with 5% v/v of bioethanol maximum.
The local standardization body has published a standard, , that sets specifications for gasoline blended with a maximum of 85% v/v bioethanol (E85).
For more details about the specifications of the standards, please see the SGS INSPIRE fuel quality .
