1.

It is unlawful for any person to sell or offer to sell any motor vehicle fuel unless a sign or label is firmly attached to or painted at or near the outlet of the container from which or into which the motor vehicle fuel is dispensed or received for sale or delivery. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the sign or label, in letters not less than one-half inch in height, must contain the brand name and the grade designation of the motor vehicle fuel. All containers and dispensers of lubricating and motor oil must also be labeled in the same manner with the oil’s viscosity grade classification and performance rating. If a lubricating or motor oil has more than one viscosity grade classification or performance rating, each viscosity grade classification and performance rating must be included in the label. When the sign or label is attached to the faucet or valve of a tank truck or tank wagon, the letters must be not less than one-half inch in height. The provisions of this subsection do not apply to any oil labeled “prediluted” or intended only for mixture with gasoline or other motor vehicle fuel in a two-cycle engine.

The inlet end of the fill pipe to each storage tank of motor vehicle fuel must be labeled with the brand name and the grade of the motor vehicle fuel contained therein or have a product-specific pressure vessel fill connection.

3.

Delivery outlets for motor vehicle fuel on tank delivery trucks must be labeled to comply with the requirements of this section before departure from the bulk plants.

4.

If any motor vehicle fuel has no brand name, the sign or label required by subsection 1 must consist of words, in letters not less than 3 inches high, that designate the specific type of motor vehicle fuel followed by the words “No Brand,” such as “Gasoline, No Brand” or “E-100, No Brand.”

5.

On any container with a net content of 1 United States gallon or less, the brand name or trademark, the name and address of the distributor or manufacturer, the viscosity grade classification, the performance rating and the words “Motor Oil” or “Lubricating Oil” must be painted, printed, embossed or otherwise firmly affixed on the container in letters and numerals of legible size. Such a designation constitutes compliance with the provisions of this section.

6.

Small hand measures used for delivery of petroleum products or motor vehicle fuel that are filled in the presence of the customer need not be labeled in accordance with the provisions of NRS 590.010 to 590.150, inclusive, if the receptacle, container or pump from which petroleum products or motor vehicle fuel is drawn or poured into the hand measures is properly labeled as required by the provisions of NRS 590.010 to 590.150, inclusive.
