Labels will have to be displayed on fuel-dispensing units and filler nozzles.
Diesel fuel labels will be square and marked B7 or B10, depending on the percentage of biofuel, whereas synthetic diesel fuels will be marked XTL.
Petrol fuel labels will be round and marked E5, E10, or E85, depending on the percentage of bioethanol.

Distributors nevertheless point out that a certain transitional period will be needed and that the new labels will perhaps not be displayed immediately at all petrol stations.
Drivers of older vehicles are likewise advised to check the amount of biofuel, primarily ethanol, their car can take.
