Vapor hook-ups

im in north dakota. ive never seen or heard of anyone using vapor recovery while offloading around here.

 

No kidding, I thought it was across the country by now.

 

Between 1998-2006 car makers began equipping new vehicles with on-board vapor recovery systems (carbon canisters). The EPA has proposed that vapor recovery at the stations be phased-out beginning in June 2013 because there are enough new cars on the road. This will save station owners and fuel depot operators millions of dollars because they can remove the equipment.

Fuel trucks will still have to capture the storage tank vapors while unloading, but I think it will be less concentrated without the recovery from cars.

 

We have some stations around here with no vapor recovery. We discovered that using a coax setup even with out a coax pipe in the ground still recovered the vapors. Since the fuel flowing in didn't fill the whole pipe because of the size reduction in the fitting, vapors still escaped up the pipe and into the recovery hose.

 

Huh? It's not broken, it just doesn't have a vapor recovery.
