Abstract:
Gasoline volatility, as measured by Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) in pounds per square inch (psi), is controlled in the spring and summer in order to minimize evaporative hydrocarbon emissions from motor vehicles. The federal RVP standard is 7.8 psi for southern states and 9.0 psi for northern states. The addition of ethanol to gasoline increases the RVP by about 1 psi. Gasoline that contains 9 to 10 volume percent ethanol is subject to a standard that is 1 psi greater. As an aid to industry compliance and EPA enforcement, the product transfer document which accompanies a shipment of gasoline containing ethanol is required by regulation to contain a legible and conspicuous statement that the gasoline contains ethanol and the percentage concentration of ethanol. This is intended to deter the mixing within the distribution system , particularly in retail storage tanks, of gasoline which contans 9 to 10 percent ethanol with gasoline which does not contain ethanol in that range. Such mixing would likely result in a gasoline with an ethanol concentration outside of 9 to 10 volume percent but with an RVP above the standard. Parties wishing to conduct research or emissions certification on gasoline that does not meet the volatility standard must submit certain information to EPA in order to obtain a testing exemption.
