Final Rule• On September 4, 2008, EPA Administrator Steve Johnson
signed, into law, new exhaust and evaporative emission standards for spark-ignition marine engines and vessels.
• These standards apply only to new engines and vessels sold for use in the United States.
• The standards will help reduce harmful health effects of ozone and carbon monoxide from these products.

Highway Evap Standards
Three decades of automotive evaporative emission control(full vehicle test/standards)
Nonroad equipment are just now becoming
subject to evaporative emission control

Existing Nonroad Standards• Component based standards
– Fuel and tank permeation– Component test for diurnal control– Design-based certification
• Existing standards– Large SI equipment (2007)– Recreational vehicles (2008)– Portable gas cans (2009)
![Page 8: 1 Evaporative Emission Standards for Boats Presented By: John McKnight Director of Environmental & Safety Compliance December 2008](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f205503460f94c393f3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

New StandardsSI Marine• Portable tanks
– Tank permeation– Self-sealing vent
• Vessels– Hose and tank permeation– Diurnal emissions– Refueling spillage
Small SI as well– Hose and tank permeation– Running loss

Fuel Line Permeation• Fuel line
– 15 g/m2/day, 2009• Fuel CE10, 23°C
– Boat and engine hose• Phase-in for under cowl fuel line
– Primer bulbs, 2011
• Vent and fill lines– Standards do not apply unless hose will hold
standing fuel
• Fuel line manufacturers will certify

• Fuel nozzle standards– Marinas must use standard nozzles whenever they
replace existing nozzles or install new ones– Same to those already used for motor vehicle pumps
• Standardized dimensions• Automatic shut-off
• System integration– Fuel systems should be designed to allow flow to
nozzle for automatic shut-off– Will help with carbon canister installation designs and
reduce spillage

System Integration• Industry consensus standards
– SAE J1527 addresses hose permeation– ABYC H24 potential vehicle for specifying best practices for
fuel system designs– NMMA certification
• Canister installation standards– Industry is developing canister installation practices in context
of EPA & USCG standards– ABYC is assessing fuel/air separators and fuel system designs
for spillage control
