Fuel Containers
This page last reviewed August 16, 2012
The Air Resources Board, Monitoring and Laboratory Division staff is
evaluating various fuel containers for emissions reduction
controls. The types of fuel containers include Portable Fuel
Containers, Outboard Marine Tanks, Portable Refueling Stations,
Recreational Vehicle Fueling Systems, Truck/Trailer Fueling Tanks, and
Mobile Fuelers. These fuel containers and the associated
equipment are a significant source of hydrocarbon emissions.
The control strategies for these types of fuel containers include
evaporation control, permeation control, and control of liquid leaks.
Regulations covering these types of fuel containers are expected to
reduce hydrocarbon emissions by more than 100 ton per day.
In addition to the fuel containers, staff is evaluating the process of transferring
fuel into the fuel containers and then the transfer of fuel from the
fuel container into an equipment fuel tank. This area of concern is called the Innovative
Fuel Transfer Technology program. For more information please click on the link below.
