EPA Phasing out vapor recovery at the pump

WASHINGTON — The EPA has determined that the systems used at gas station pumps to capture harmful gasoline vapors while refueling cars can be phased out. Since 2006, vehicles are equipped to capture those emissions. This final rule is part of the Obama Administration’s initiative to ensure that regulations protect public health and the environment without being unnecessarily burdensome to American businesses, it said. Onboard refueling vapor recovery (ORVR) for capturing gasoline vapor when gasoline-powered vehicles are refueled is in widespread use throughout the highway motor vehicle fleet.

NOTE: ORVR only covers about 70% of all vehicles on the road today, meaning that fully 1/3 of all vehicles on the road do NOT have ORVR capability, and will therefore release gasoline vapors while refueling.
