Colonial Pipeline Company
BASIC REQUIREMENTS This section provides basic product specification information for scheduling on Colonial's pipeline system. Fungible Batches A "fungible batch" is defined as a batch of petroleum product meeting carrier's established specifications, which may be commingled with other quantities of petroleum product meeting the same specifications. Fungible product specifications are established based on industry standards, federal and state requirements, and Colonial's ability to handle various products. Fungible products provide shippers with a significant degree of flexibility for scheduling lifting and delivery times. Segregated Batches A "segregated batch" is defined as a batch of petroleum product meeting carrier's established specifications, which may not be commingled with other quantities. A batch may be segregated because it has properties that differ from the fungible specifications.
All products must meet tariff and product specification requirements. Colonial has set tariff requirements to meet the physical constraints of the system. The tariff product requirements are: Be free from water or other impurities. Have a color less than No. 3 ASTM. Have a vapor pressure of not more than 15 pounds absolute at 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Have an API gravity of more than 25 degrees or less than 80 degrees at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Have a viscosity of less than 4.3 centistoke at 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Distillates must have a temperature of less than 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Gasoline must have a temperature of less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Be capable of absorbing a blend of at least 5% of other like gasolines or distillates, unless the shipper accepts any increase in interface mixture.

Colonial Pipeline Company BASIC REQUIREMENTS Product specification requirements allow for the proper sequencing of the batch to minimize interface mixing with incompatible products. Special Products Quality Assurance assists shippers in transporting special batches through Colonial's system. With advance planning before shipment and monitoring of these batches through the system, Colonial is able to handle many different types of refined petroleum products. Requests for shipment of special products must meet Colonial's minimum batch size requirements. Handling Procedures Colonial's handling procedures are developed by focusing on the physical limits of the system; such as interface sizes, valve travel times, product compatibility with system materials, Colonial tankage, and pipeline operations. Sequencing and "cutting" procedures are controlled to maintain the quality of product through Colonial's system. Product Cleanliness Tank maintenance and housekeeping at tank farms upstream of Colonial is critical especially during rainy periods. The finished fuel shall also be free of water/impurities or any adulterant or contaminant that may render the fuel unacceptable for its commonly used application. Lines 48, 49, 50, and Baton Rouge Batches moving through lines 48, 49, and 50 will be delivered meeting current Colonial product specifications. The total oversight program includes various steps of sampling and testing of the product as it moves through the combined transportation system.
Certificate of analysis from refinery or blending terminal and load port cargo inspection report for products being delivered from barges to Colonial Pipeline Baton Rouge tankage must be provided to the Colonial Pipeline Baton Rouge facility prior to vessel discharge. The load port cargo inspection should occur on the loaded vessel, and should consist of the following tests: for gasolines: gravity, color or appearance, RVP, octane (either RON or RM/2), doctor test, and haze; for distillates: gravity, flash, conductivity, sulfur, color, and haze.

Colonial Pipeline Company SEASONAL REQUIREMENTS GASOLINE REID VAPOR PRESSURE/VOLATILITY The tables on the following pages summarizes the schedule for movements of each fungible product on Colonial and Port Arthur Product Station (PAPS). Movement of certain product grades during seasonal transitions will be controlled based on volumes and available tank capacity as noted in the Tables. Movements of product grades outside the designated cycles will be addressed individually. Bulletins will be posted to communicate any changes to this schedule. DISTILLATES DIESEL FUEL CLOUD AND POUR POINT Due to the operating requirements of the diesel fuels in the winter months, the pour point and cloud point have been set to meet seasonal conditions. The seasonal requirement will be effective in the cycle of the fungible product lifting from Houston on the following dates. SUMMER REQUIREMENT March 15

Colonial Pipeline Company TESTING INFORMATION Pre-shipping Requirements and Batch Testing After Lifting Colonial requires a full analysis of every batch nominated for shipment. The full analysis must be received within 12 hours of the completion of the batch lifting into the pipeline. A pre-shipment transfer document must be furnished to Colonial's lifting facilities 2 hours prior to shipment to assure compliance with Colonial's product specifications if the full analysis is not available at that time. The following test results must be supplied on the preshipment transfer document: Gasoline A) Colonial Batch Code B) Supplier tank number for product lifting C) Gravity (API@ 60 F) D) Distillation @ 10%, 50%, 90%, End Point E) Octane (Research, Motor, and R+M/2) F) Oxygen (wt.%) All Grades G) RVP (psi) H) Benzene (vol.%) I) Driveability Index Diesel Fuel/Fuel Oil A) Colonial Batch Code B) Supplier tank number for product lifting C) Gravity ( API@ 60 F) D) Distillation @ 10%, 50%, 90%, End Point E) Flash Point F) Sulfur (wt.%)
