Upgrade, New Construction, and Compatibility Requirements California Code of Regulations, Title 23, Division 3, Chapter 16, Sections 2631(1), 2635(d), 2636(f)(5), 2640.1, 2665(b), (c), 2666(b)(2), (e)(2), & (f), 2711(c), & 2712(b)(5) Can a single-walled UST change to a motor vehicle fuel containing a concentration greater than ten percent ethanol or five percent biodiesel? Yes. However, at least 30 days prior before changing the motor vehicle fuel stored to a motor vehicle fuel greater than ten percent ethanol or five percent biodiesel, UST owners or operators must provide to the UPA an approval from an independent testing organization that covers the substance to be stored. The acceptable mechanisms to demonstrate compatibility for each UST component type can be found in the table in Appendix 1 of this document. [References cited: §§ 2640.1 & 2711(c)] If there are further questions regarding the new construction, upgrade, or compatibility requirements, please contact UST Leak Prevention Unit staff at: https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/water issues/programs/ust/contacts/ust staff.shtml.
