Dover Fueling Solutions becomes the first manufacturer to offer optional UL-certified E40 fuel dispensers as standard

November 29, 2022

Today, Dover Fueling Solutions (DFS), part of Dover Corporation and a leading global provider of advanced customer-focused technologies, services and solutions in the fuel and convenience retail industry, announced all North American Wayne Ovation Fuel Dispensers will be supplied as compatible and UL-listed to E40/B20 as a standard feature. The announcement extends DFS’ UL compliance from E25 to E40, with the continued option of up to E85 available across all models and configurations, and cements DFS as the first manufacturer of fuel dispensers to offer an E40 UL listing.

 

“In response to consumer demands for greater fuel efficiency and a desire to lower greenhouse gasses, DFS and Wayne’s Ovation Fuel Dispensers are proud to provide E40 UL listings,” said Scott Negley, Senior Director, Product Management at Dover Fueling Solutions. “This reflects DFS’ commitment to supplying retailers with the most flexible, reliable and future-proofed equipment options. Regardless of the direction policy and next-generation vehicle technologies take, retailers can rest assured that their investments in our fuel dispensers will be viable for years to come.”

 

DFS works in partnership with the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) and state affiliates like IL Corn to prepare for fueling advancements, enhance dispenser offerings and meet infrastructure needs for future mid-level ethanol blends. Over the past six years, DFS, with the support of NCGA, have produced and sold fuel dispensers certified to deliver fuel with up to 25 percent, and now, 40 percent ethanol. 

 

“Illinois corn farmers celebrate the announcement of this important infrastructure change within our state and throughout the U.S. This is the infrastructure we need to be ready to deliver cleaner burning, cheaper fuel to Illinoisians as soon as policy priorities like the Next Generation Fuels Act are passed. Illinois staff and leaders have been very influential in these conversations with Wayne Ovation Fuel and we are proud to see the work come to a beneficial conclusion,” IL Corn Chairman Jim Reed states.

 

“We want to congratulate DFS for being the first manufacturer to offer UL-certified E40 fuel dispensers,” said NCGA President Tom Haag. “This is an important step toward offering consumers additional choices at the pump supplied by ethanol, an affordable, domestically-produced source of octane that helps to reduce the environmental footprint of liquid fuels.”

The IL Corn Growers Association recently honored longtime colleague and friend Dave Loos in a way that reflected what mattered most to him: education, curiosity, and investing in the next generation. Dave dedicated decades of his career to advancing Illinois agriculture and the ethanol industry, first with the State of Illinois and later through more than 17 years at IL Corn. He was widely respected for his deep knowledge of biofuels, his passion for learning, and his ability to build lasting relationships across the agriculture and energy sectors. To honor Dave’s legacy, the IL Corn Board of Directors established education scholarship funds for his grandsons. Partners and friends from across the ethanol industry, state and national corn organizations, and policy circles in Illinois and Washington, D.C., came together to contribute. During IL Corn’s annual meeting, Dave’s family was invited to the stage and surprised with the presentation of multiple scholarship checks. Speakers shared personal stories highlighting Dave’s commitment to learning, leadership, and service. Dave’s family expressed heartfelt gratitude, noting that while he would have been deeply appreciative, he also would have been characteristically humble about the recognition. These scholarships serve as a lasting tribute to Dave Loos—honoring his lifelong dedication to education and ensuring his legacy continues through the next generation.
