1 Compatibility of commonly used materials with
       gasoline-methanol/cosolvent blends

Outlines facilities required for handling of gasoline-methanol/cosolvent blends similar to those required for gasoline. Differences must be recognised by those who store, handle or provide fire protection for the product. This standard covers storage, handling and fire protection of gasoline-methanol/cosolvent blends at distribution terminals and service stations.
