(a) Where inspectors find gasoline being sold or offered for sale by any dealer that does not meet the specifications as set out in this subchapter, they must condemn the gasoline and affix to gasoline pumps the following placards as the occasion requires: “THIS GASOLINE DOES NOT MEET ARKANSAS SPECIFICATIONS AND HAS BEEN CONDEMNED, STATE OF ARKANSAS”; “THIS GASOLINE IS CORROSIVE, STATE OF ARKANSAS”; “THIS GASOLINE CONTAINS DIRT AND OTHER SUSPENDED MATTER, STATE OF ARKANSAS”; or “THIS GASOLINE CONTAINS WATER, STATE OF ARKANSAS”.

(b) In addition to affixing the placards on the pumps, the inspector must immediately file information with the proper authorities and prosecute the dealer for this violation.
