  1. Gasoline Dispenser Hose PermeationWorkshop November 13, 2003 Monitoring and Laboratory Division Air Resources Board California Environmental Protection Agency

  2. Agenda • Introductions • Background for Regulating Hose Permeation • Baseline Emission Estimate • Suggested Standard • Testing Considerations • Cost-Effective Analysis • Schedule

  3. SIP Vapor Recovery Measures

  4. Gasoline Dispenser Hoses

  5. UL 330 - Standard for Safety for Hose and Hose Assemblies for Dispensing Flammable Liquids • Six day, 3150 cycle/day flex test • Refill hose every 24 hours • Divide volume of fuel added over the six days by volume of the hose • Allows 30% total loss

  6. Assume 12 hoses/station Assume gasoline permeation at levels allowed by UL 330 Estimate 3 tons/day statewide Hose Permeation Emissions

  7. SAE J1527 Marine Fuel Hoses • Applicable to hoses on pleasurecraft • 100 g/m2/day permeation limit up to 1.7 tons/day emission reductions statewide CARB

  8. Permeation Regulations • Portable fuel containers (CA) • 0.4 g/gal/day per TM 513 (SHED) • Small off-road engine fuel tanks (CA) • 2 g/m2/day per TP-901 • Nonroad Large SI Engines and Recreational Engines (Marine and Land) fuel hoses (USEPA) • 5 g/m2/day @ 23 deg C per SAE J1527

  9. Low Permeation Fuel Hose Technology • Entire hose made with low permeation material • Low permeation barrier layer(s)

  10. Permeation Testing • Test existing hoses to refine baseline emission estimate • Test prototype hoses to set best achievable permeation limit • Identify options for certification test

  11. Testing Considerations • Durability - aging and cycle tests • Pre-Conditioning • fill hose with fuel and wait for saturation • Type of fuel • Hose configuration • single or co-axial • Temperature • typical or worst-case? • Cost of test

  12. Cost for Low Permeation Hoses • USEPA estimates incremental cost of $1.00/ft for engine fuel hoses • For 12 foot coax hose => $24 • Used $50 increase/hose for initial cost estimate • Hoses today cost $100 - $200 (?)

  13. Cost-Effectiveness • Assume hose life of one year • Assume cost increase of $50 per hose • Total annual cost = $6,780,000 $6,780,000/yr 1 ton 1 yr 1.7 tons/day 2000 lb 365 days = $5.46/lb

  14. Cost-effectiveness for ARB Major Regulations hose perm

  15. Tentative Rulemaking Schedule • Feb 2004 - complete preliminary tests • Mar 2004 - post draft standard and TP • Apr 2004 - second workshop • Jun 2004 - finalize staff proposal • Aug 2004 - release staff proposal • Sept 2004 - Board hearing* * schedule may slip due to testing and/or other priorities, but expect Board hearing no later than December 2004

  16. Proposed Implementation Schedule • Dec 2004* - approved by Board • Sept 2005 - finalize rulemaking and begin certification • Jan 2007* - required for new installations • Jan 2011 - required for all facilities * commitment dates in revised SIP Settlement Agreement (June 2003)
