TOP TIER™ Performance Standards

Gasoline Performance Standard

The TOP TIER™ Detergent Gasoline Deposit Control Performance Standard describes the test methods used and the performance requirements that retail unleaded gasoline must meet to be licensed as TOP TIER™.

Diesel Performance Standard

Today's TOP TIER Diesel Fuel Performance Standard has been streamlined into two levels of performance requirements for greater market flexibility and has been revised to focus on detergency and contamination cleanliness requirements.
