RE: Fuel Wizard Issue

Your attachment was stripped out by our security system. 

However, I think I know what you want based on the email text. 

Attached are two spreadsheets. One with the default fuels for the three years (2017, '20, and '27). And the other with 

the higher RVP fuels. 

Higher in this case means 9.0 psi with a one psi waiver to 10.0 psi. thus, the E10 fuels were modeled up to 10 psi and 

the ElS's were modeled to 9.0 psi. these are the fuels that match PADD 1 region (most of the rural counties in TN?). 

I ran the fuel wizard on the default fuels and created the high rVP ones. 

Non road should use the same gasoline fuels as on road with one exception. No E15 fuels for nonroad. When doing you 

NON ROAD set the E10 fuels to 100 marketshare in the non road fuel supply. This might be a big change for nonroad and 

you will have to do some manual work. Non road does not use the new 'fuelregion' concept but uses the old countyiD 

and the old NMIM fuels. 

I hope this is what you need. 

Thanks,

Yesterday, Amanetta Somerville (EPA Region IV) talked with you concerning Shelby County, Tennessee's need to use the 

MOVES2014 Fuel Wizard to adjust RVP values for on-road mobile analyses that will be incorporated into an upcoming 

re-designation request. I failed to mention that we will also need to use the Fuel Wizard to adjust RVP for the non-road 

analyses, as well. Our analysis years are 2017, 2020, and 2027. As we are trying to complete this task by Friday August 

14, 2014, I ask that this chore be expedited as quickly as possible. 

If you have any questions, please contact me. 

Thanks in Advance,

Dear Amanetta Somerville, 

Thank you for your question to the MOVES inbox. 

Unfortunately, I can only give you a partial response. I will have to ask about the 1 psi waiver. 

Also, Unfortunately, the as -released version of the MOVES2014 model contains a serious bug in the FueiWizard 

calculations. Thus, the version that you have will not compute the correct fuel changes. Do not use it. 

2 
However, I ran your fuel through a corrected version of the fuelwizard and changed the RVPs from 8.8 to 9.0 and the 

E15 from 7.8 to 9.0. the results are below. 

Our MOVES2014a version will have a corrected version of the fuelwizard included. 

Sorry about the confusion. 

Sincererly,

I am not sure if this was sent to the team mobile in box, however, I have included the following question for Shelby 

County Tennessee below: 

I want to determine the effect of raising the RVP from the summertime regulatory limit of 7.8 to 9.0. The table 

below illustrates what is contained in the MOVES Fuel Wizard. Should I change the 8.8 and 7.8 RVP to 9.0? Or, 

should I change the 8.8 RVP to 10 to accommodate the 1psi waiver and the 7.8 RVP to 9.0???
