Blender

Blenders are persons who are not otherwise licensed under Chapter 206, Florida Statutes, and who blend gasoline, gasohol, diesel, or aviation fuel with tax-free or partially untaxed products for personal use in a vehicle, machine, vessel, or aircraft.

Note:​ Licensed blenders cannot purchase motor fuel, undyed diesel, or aviation fuels tax-free. Blenders may not sell fuel products. Blenders may purchase, without tax or at reduced rates, fuels that can be purchased tax-free without a fuel license.

Examples of Blending

  • ​​Mixing alcohol products (such as ethanol) with gasoline to create gasohol
  • ​Mixing undyed kerosene with undyed diesel fuel to increase the volume of diesel fuel
  • ​​Mixing waste oil products with diesel fuel to increase the volume of diesel fuel
  • Mixing or adding any product that increases the volume of existing highway fuel
  • ​​Any product created through blending or use for which fuel taxes were not previously paid

Licensed wholesalers and terminal suppliers do not need a blender's license to convert or blend an untaxed product to or with a taxable product to propel a vehicle, vessel, machine, or aircraft.
