U.S. EPA Standards

• Fuel hose permeation standard of 15 g/m2/day– Test temperature of 23 C

• Fuel tank permeation standard of 1.5 g/m2/day– Test temperature of 28 C

Limitations of U.S. EPA Regulation

• Current technology supports lowering permeation standards

• U.S. EPA regulation does not control vented emissions from the fuel tank

• U.S. EPA regulation does not control carburetor and connector emissions

California Emissions Inventory Verification

• Vehicle population will be evaluated

– DMV data suggests the population is far higher

Page 9: Setting Evaporative Emission Standards for Off Highway Recreational Vehicles (OHRV)

California Emissions Inventory Verification

• Running loss emissions will be verified

– Emissions appear high, therefore the emission factor, activity and methodology used to obtain this data will be reviewed

Page 10: Setting Evaporative Emission Standards for Off Highway Recreational Vehicles (OHRV)

California Emissions Inventory Verification

• Representative equipment will be used to generate any needed emissions factors

Testing Results for OHRV Tested by Automotive Testing Laboratories (ATL)

• ATL tested evaporative emissions for 4 off-road motorcycles and 4 ATVs

• Diurnal and hot soak emissions were measured for each vehicle

• Refueling and running loss emission were measured for select vehicles

• Data was generated using:– Summer fuel (7 RVP)– 65-105 F temperature profile– Tank Filled to 50%

Emissions Source Breakdown

• Emissions by component are calculated from:– ATL data– Vented emissions calculated using

• Reddy Equation• Summer fuel (7 RVP)• 65-105 F temperature profile• Tank filled to 50%

– Permeation emission calculated using:• 1.5 feet of ¼ inch fuel line • A cubic fuel tank• Permeation equal to the standards• Uncontrolled permeation rates of:

– 12 g/m2/day for fuel tanks– 100 g/m2/day for fuel hose

Need for ARB Regulation

• Significant additional reductions are needed for ozone attainment

• Permeation emissions can be controlled further

• Vented emissions can be controlled

• Carburetor and connector emissions can be controlled

Permeation Technology Advancements from SORE Allow

Lower ARB Standards

* Increase in test temp of 10 deg C leads to double the permeation

Need to Control Vented and Carburetor Emissions

• Vented emissions account for ~30% of total emissions

• Carburetor and fittings emissions account for another ~30% of total emissions

• Controlling these emission sources will result in substantial reductions
