Kerosene sold for blending. For sales made after March 30, 2000, certain registered persons that sell undyed kerosene for blending with diesel fuel in an area that the IRS has declared to be affected by extremely cold weather conditions may claim a credit or refund if the blended fuel is to be used for heating purposes. See chapter 1.

Blocked pump. For sales of kerosene after March 30, 2000, the definition of a blocked pump has been modified to include certain pumps locked by the vendor after each sale and unlocked by the vendor in response to a buyer's request for undyed kerosene for use other than as a fuel in a diesel-powered vehicle or train. See chapter 1.

New definitions of diesel fuel and kerosene. The definitions of diesel fuel and kerosene have been modified by excluding liquids with certain described properties. See Undyed Diesel Fuel and Undyed Kerosene in chapter 1.
