Blender Pump

A blender pump, or ethanol blender pump, refers to equipment that allows petroleum stations to offer different percentages of blends of ethanol and gasoline. These pumps offer product flexibility to the filling station owner and/or the consumer to be able to obtain a range of blends up to E85, including E20 and E30.

The potential advantage for the station owner is that they are able to optimize the price point of their gasoline/fuel blend against the purchase price of the two fuels by varying the percentage of the blend at the pump for flex-fuel vehicles. Alternately, they might offer as an incentive to attract flex-fuel consumers to the filling station the opportunity for consumers to choose their own percentage E-blend up to E85.
