Ensuring Success

Proper labeling of the E85 dispenser as well as nozzle covers, pump toppers, price signage, and point-of-sale information are critical to successful E85 operations.

Sometimes it's not the installation of an E85 fueling system that is the complicated piece of the puzzle, it's educating your staff on the merits of E85, getting your drivers to use the fuel, and continuing to keep your E85 fleet operational. In addition, funding opportunities and financial incentives can help improve your chances for success. Learn more about this by going to the Funding Opportunities page.

In these pages, we have provided you with some general comments and lessons learned from fleets using E85 and some success stories about fleets that use both on-site and off-site E85 fueling stations. We have also provided training information that may help you educate your drivers and staff on the benefits of E85.
