PROCEDURES FOR TESTING VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEMS AT SERVICE STATIONS

A test procedure has been developed, called the "Leak-Rate Procedure," which makes it possible to measure directly the weight of gasoline vapor lost from a vehicle tank during refueling. Experimental data show that this test procedure can be used to measure the losses from random vehicles with an accuracy of a few percent. /GMRL/
