      motor fuel for the purposes described in subparagraph (i)  of  paragraph
      (b)  of  subdivision  three  of section two hundred eighty-two-a of this
      chapter who delivers Diesel motor fuel at a filling station  other  than

      repository which is located on the premises of such registrant where the
      Diesel motor fuel delivered therein is used exclusively for the  purpose
      of  fueling  motor  vehicles  operated  by registrant for the purpose of
      distributing Diesel motor  fuel  for  the  purposes  described  in  such
      subparagraph  (i),  shall  be  guilty  of  a misdemeanor. If, within any
      ninety day period, any such  person  whose  registration  under  article
      twelve-A  of  this  chapter  applies  only  to the importation, sale and
      distribution  of  Diesel  motor  fuel  for  the  purposes  described  in

      person shall be guilty of a class E felony.
        (c) Any person who has twice been convicted under this  section  shall
      be  guilty  of  a  class  E  felony for any subsequent violation of this
      section, regardless of the amount of Diesel motor fuel involved in  such
      violation.  For  purposes  of  this section, the terms "enhancement" and
      "retail sale not in bulk" shall have the  same  meaning  they  have  for
      purposes of article twelve-A of this chapter.
