FUEL MARKETERS CONSIDER OPTIONS FOR DECOMMISSIONING STAGE II VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEMS

摘要

SINCE 1994, GASOLINE RETAILERS IN CLEAN Air Act nonattainment areas have been required to use Stage II vapor recovery systems to address vapor loss at the dispenser nozzle. This built on Stage I requirements that addressed vapor issues with the fuel drop. In addition, since 1998 automobiles have been installing onboard refueling vapor recovery-or ORVR-aimed at accomplishing the same pur- pose. Since 2006, all new automobiles and light trucks are equipped with these systems.
