regulation specifically provides for such use.

Section 9019 and regulations thereunder allow

storage, transportation or use of fuel, fuel dyes

or fuel markers;

•

equipment used for fuel, fuel dyes or fuel

markers; or

Authorized officials may detain any vehicle, vessel

or railroad tank car on a customer’s site to inspect

its fuel or storage tanks, and they may take and

keep reasonable sized samples of fuel for such

purposes.

Any person who refuses to allow an inspection com-

mits a summary offense and may, upon conviction,

be sentenced to pay a fine between $1,000 nor

$2,000 for each refusal. This fine is in addition to

any other penalty or tax that may be imposed.
