### sec.440ZR Permitted Reid vapour pressure—fuel with particular ethanol content
This section applies in relation to fuel with an ethanol content of more than 9% but not more than 10% by volume.
A person who manufactures or imports fuel must not supply the fuel in the low volatility zone in the summer period if the Reid vapour pressure of the fuel is more than 76kPa.
Maximum penalty—165 penalty units.
A person who manufactures or imports fuel must ensure that, for each summer month, the volumetric monthly average Reid vapour pressure of the fuel supplied by the person in the low volatility zone is not more than 74kPa.
Maximum penalty—165 penalty units.
For working out the volumetric monthly average Reid vapour pressure of fuel mentioned in subsection (3) , fuel with a Reid vapour pressure of less than 72kPa is taken to have a Reid vapour pressure of 72kPa.
