Notes

							 > 30 kW SIME. The fuel hose permeation standards do not apply to under the
							 cowl fuel lines. As an alternative to
							 40 C.F.R., §
																1060.515 (2008), component manufacturers can
							 test following SAE,
Test Procedure to Determine the Hydrocarbon Losses
							 from Fuel Tubes, Hoses, Fittings, and Fuel Line Assemblies by
							 Recirculation
(May 2013), SAE J1737.
2a Reactive
							 Organic Gas (ROG).
2b Hydrocarbon
							 (HC).
3 For
							 non-canister vented systems, a venting control efficiency standard of 65
							 percent must be met. To determine the venting control efficiency, a venting
							 control test must be performed following
							 40 C.F.R., §
																1060.525 (2008), (or TP-1503, if applicable)
							 with E10 CERT fuel and then compared against an identical uncontrolled venting
							 test. Alternatively, an estimate of uncontrolled venting can be calculated
							 using the fuel tank vapor generation equation (6) in Reddy,
Prediction
							 of Fuel Vapor Generation from a Vehicle Fuel Tank as a Function of Fuel RVP and
							 Temperature
(Nov. 2004), SAE Technical Paper Series 892089.
4 Grams of
							 vapor storage capacity per gallon of nominal fuel tank capacity.
5 Grams per
							 liter of carbon working capacity with minimum carbon volume of 0.040 liters per
							 gallon of nominal fuel tank capacity. The carbon canister must have a minimum
							 effective length-to-diameter ratio of 3.5 and the vapor flow must be directed
							 with the intent of using the whole carbon bed.
6 Starting
							 with MY 2018 and thereafter, if the Executive Officer determines that all of
							 the following criteria are met:
1. That a 5.0
							 g/m2/day fuel hose has been certified, and
2. That a certified 5.0
							 g/m2/day fuel hose is commercially available in
							 common sizes, then the fuel hose permeation standard will change to 5.0
							 g/m2/day, effective no earlier than MY 2020 or two
							 years after the finding.
7 Using a test
							 temperature of 40°C. As an alternative to
							 40 C.F.R., §
																1060.515 (2008), component manufacturers can
							 test following SAE,
Test Procedure to Determine the Hydrocarbon Losses
							 from Fuel Tubes, Hoses, Fittings, and Fuel Line Assemblies by
							 Recirculation
(May 2013), SAE J1737.
8 Using a test
							 fuel of either E10 CERT or CE 10. As an alternative for fuel tank testing,
							 component manufacturers can certify at 1.4
							 grams/m2/day at 40°C.

							 CERT fuel.

(2010), ASTM D5228-92, West Conshohocken, PA;
11 As an
							 alternative to TP-1503 testing for pressure relief valves, component
							 manufacturers can perform a leak test performance test of the pressure relief
							 valve following TP-1505. A SIMW using a sealed evaporative control system to a
							 positive pressure of at least 7.35kPa (1.05 PSI)] will be deemed compliant with
							 the 65 percent HC reduction requirement. The pressure relief valve must also be
							 tested and pass TP-1505 durability requirements.
