Use that Wikipedia page with a grain of salt. A lot of bad info on there. For example, it lists that ethanol free gas is illegal in Minnesota. Yet there are many retailers selling ethanol free (non-oxy) 91 octane all over the state. Its labeled for use in collector cars, OPE, boats, and ATV's, but nobody polices it.
Also, not sure how things work in other states, but there is no such thing as off-road gasoline in Minnesota. Doesn't matter what you pay for, you pay road taxes. However, some of that tax money is given to programs like ATV trails, snowmobile trails, etc... Off road diesel is another story... In addition, you can apply for a refund of the tax on gasoline, but it is never sold without the tax.
Guessing in the case of the OP that the hardware from an old diesel pump is being reused. Would work fine with filling gas cans, but not sure what else...
every state has in essence been allowed to write their own mandate as long as they meet the federal standard as mentioned above by hokie...
that having been said, i mention that everyone has to become aware of their own state standards because they can be different from state to state as to how they are meeting the mandate. ex in one state regular 87 can be E0 but in the neighboring state it must be E10 etc.
attached linky to minnesota regulation and i do believe that all fuel (with the exception of those stated in clauses 10-14) must contain ethanol in Minnesota:
