A. The Commission, or its appointees, including federal
government employees or persons operating under contract with the
state, upon presenting appropriate credentials may conduct
inspections and remove samples of fuel to determine coloration of
diesel fuel, or to identify shipping paper violations at any place
where taxable fuel is or may be produced, stored or loaded into
transport vehicles. Inspections shall be performed in a reasonable
manner consistent with the circumstances, but in no event is prior
notice required. Inspectors may physically inspect, examine or
otherwise search any tank, reservoir, or other container that can or
might be used for the production, storage, or transportation of
fuel. Inspection may be made of any equipment used for, or in
connection with, the production, storage, or transportation of fuel.
Inspectors may demand to be produced for immediate inspection the

person transporting fuel. The places which may be inspected
pursuant to this section may include, but are not limited to:
