(b) Article 1 (commencing with Section 8701) of Chapter 3 and Article 1 (commencing with Section 8751) of Chapter 4 do not apply to (1) a user whose sole use of fuel in this state is for the propulsion of a privately operated passenger motor vehicle, a commercial vehicle with unladen weight of less than 7,000 pounds, or a privately operated two-axle truck which the user has rented or leased for a period of 30 days or less; or (2) an interstate user whose sole use of fuel in this state is for the propulsion of a motor vehicle that is not a qualified motor vehicle and is operated in connection with an interstate trip; if the fuel used, except fuel brought into this state in the fuel tank of the vehicle, is purchased from and delivered into the fuel tank of the vehicle by a vendor.
