Dear Mr. Retzsch: 

Enclosed is a copy of a recent draft study entitled, 

"Incidence of Siphoning - Related Gasoline Ingestion" prepared 

for EPA by Battelle. This report contains an investigation of 

the annual number of injuries that occur while gasoline is 

siphoned from motor vehicles. We believe this information is 

relevant to onboard vapor recovery systems, since the hardware 

used in some design approaches would make siphoning 

substantially more difficult. Please distribute it to your 

member companies for review. 

Any comments on this report would be appreciated, 

provide them to Carolyn Krueger at the address below:
