ULP & E10 Colour change Red to Yellow 1st Oct 2015
Petrol manufacturing and importing companies have made the decision to remove the red dye from unleaded petrol and E10, this colour change will not have any impact on the fuel’s performance or product handling requirements.
The reason for the change is to align with international practices that are currently in place in Europe, USA and Asia, where petrol is not dyed.
The change to un-dyed unleaded petrol and E10 will commence from 1 October 2015, the transition may take up to 12 months, so during this period both dyed and un-dyed unleaded petrol and E10 may be seen in the market.
Unleaded petrol and E10 are currently dyed red but does vary through to a pink colour. With the removal of dye, unleaded petrol and E10 will eventually appear yellow to pale yellow in colour.
So commencing from the 1st of October the full list of products that may appear yellow to pale yellow in colour will include:
- Unleaded Petrol
- E10 (Unleaded containing 10% Ethanol)
- Premium Unleaded Petrol and;
- Diesel
