This Module demonstrates that fuel quality strategies cannot be fully successful without proper monitoring and enforcement mechanisms and will show through an on site visit and fuel quality monitoring system (FQMS) examples from the U.S., EU, Australia and several other countries from the Asian region, that a variety of monitoring systems exist but that the success of these systems is fully dependant on effective design, including deterrents, resources, oversight and full implementation.
