1.0  Introduction

     Evaporative emissions of hydrocarbons (HC) are a significant
portion of the emissions estimated in the MOBILE model.  In
recently released draft reports (M6.EVP.001 and M6.EVP.002), the
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed methods of
estimating resting loss and diurnal emissions  from 1995 and older
model year vehicles.  These estimates were based on the results
of real-time diurnal (RTD) tests of in-use vehicles in which the
ambient temperature cycled over a 24-degree Fahrenheit range to
simulate in real-time the daily heating and cooling that parked
vehicles experience over a 24-hour period.

     Beginning with the 1996 model year, manufacturers were
required to certify twenty percent of their vehicles using a new
"enhanced" evaporative testing procedure; that percentage is
scheduled to increase to one hundred percent by the 1999 model
year.  The phase-in percentages are given below in Table 1
 (copied from 40 CFR 86.096-8) .

                              Table 1

                       Phase-In of Vehicles with
                    Enhanced Evaporative Controls

                         Model Year   Percentage
                           1995             0%
                           1996            20%
                           1997            40%
                           1998            90%
                           1999           100%

     In order to meet the enhanced evaporative standards,
manufacturers have implemented a number of changes, including
 (but not limited to):

     •    "quick connects" that reduce the possibility of
          improper assembly when the vehicle is serviced,

-------
                               -2-                          DRAFT


     •    advanced materials that are less permeable, less
          susceptible to puncture, and more durable  (i.e.,
          elastomeric materials used in hoses and connectors),

     •    improvements made to the purge system (to enable the
          vehicles to pass both the running loss test and the
          multi-day diurnal test),

     •    tethered gas caps, and

     •    improved fractional-turn gas caps.

Since these changes are expected to result in improved control of
evaporative emissions, EPA proposes to use a separate set of
estimates of both resting loss and diurnal emissions for these
vehicles.

     Unlike the analyses for older vehicles that were based on
results of tests of in-use vehicles, the analyses in this report
generally are not based on testing of these in-use 1996 and newer
vehicles because EPA has very few test results on that segment of
the in-use fleet.  In this report, EPA proposes methods of
estimating the resting loss and diurnal emissions from these in-
use 1996 and newer vehicles based on RTD testing of older but
similar vehicles.
2.0  Data Sources

     EPA proposes to base its estimates of resting loss and
diurnal emissions on the results of real-time diurnal  (RTD)
tests.  At the time of this analysis,  EPA had two available
sources of RTD test data on vehicles that were certified to the
new evaporative standards:

    1)   a  summary  of  RTD  testing  used by  the  ARE  and  by the EPA
        to certify new  (1996-97 model year) vehicles  (30 and 35
        vehicles,  respectively) and

    2)   results of RTD  testing performed  by Mercedes-Benz  on six
        of its  1996 model year vehicles  (at two years of age)  as
        part  of the proposed  Compliance Assurance Program (CAP
        2000) .

     However, the test data  (from these two sources)  on the 1996
and newer vehicles have two serious limitations:

      • First,  all of the 1996 and  newer  vehicles from these two
        sources had properly  functioning  evaporative  control
        systems.   Since it is likely that some similar in-use
        vehicles during the course  of their useful life would

-------
                               -3-                          DRAFT


        develop  malfunctions  in their  evaporative  control
        systems,  EPA's  analysis is limited  by not  having test
        results  on  such malfunctioning in-use vehicles.

      • Secondly, all of these RTD tests  were performed using  a
        single test fuel with a Reid vapor  pressure  (RVP)  of 9.0
        psi  and  using a single temperature  cycle  (72  to 96
        degrees  Fahrenheit).  Since, all  the  RTD testing
        performed on these  1996 and newer vehicles had been run
        at a single combination of temperature cycle  and fuel
        volatility,  EPA is  limited in  using those  data to  predict
        evaporative emissions at  other combinations of
        temperature cycle and fuel volatility.

     To compensate for those significant limitations, EPA
proposes to supplement those data with the results of RTD testing
of older vehicles that were not certified to the enhanced
evaporative standards.   Two sources of those test results were:

    3)   RTD  testing performed on  119 in-use 1971-95 model  year
        vehicles for EPA by its testing contractor and

    4)   RTD  testing performed on  151 in-use 1971-91 model  year
        vehicles for the Coordinating  Research Council  (CRC).

     Although none of the 270 in-use vehicles tested in the EPA
or CRC programs  (sources 3  and 4) had been certified to the new
evaporative standards,  the  combined sample does include both:

      • in-use vehicles with  malfunctions in  their evaporative
        control  systems

    as well  as
      • vehicles for which  the RTD test were  performed over three
        different temperature cycles and  using fuels  with
        different RVPs.

     A fifth source of information on these vehicles certified to
the enhanced evaporative standards was:

    5)   an analysis of  evaporative emissions  (not  explicitly
        based on RTD testing) of  vehicles certified to the
        enhanced evaporative  standard  presented to the California
        Air  Resources Board (ARE)  (in  December 1997)  by the
        American Automobile Manufacturers Association (AAMA) and
        the  Association of  International  Automobile Manufacturers
        (AIAM).

     In Section 3.0, EPA proposes how to use RTD test results
from some of the older  (i.e., 1990-95) vehicles (i.e.,  from

-------
                               -4-                          DRAFT


sources 3 and 4)  to compensate for the limitations of the test
results on the 1996 and later vehicles.


3.0  Simulating Test Data from In-Use 1996 and Newer Vehicles

     The MOBILE model must be able to estimate the resting loss
and diurnal evaporative emissions from the 1996 and newer
vehicles over a variety of daily temperature cycles and with a
variety of fuel RVPs.  However, as noted in the preceding
section, the only test data on those vehicles available at this
time are with a single combination of fuel volatility (RVP of 9.0
psi) and daily temperature profile (i.e., ambient temperatures
cycling between 72 and 96 degrees Fahrenheit).   EPA, therefore,
proposes to use results of RTD tests on older vehicles (i.e.,
model years 1990 through 1995) to estimate the effects on the
actual "base line" emissions  (from source 1)  of different fuel
volatility and different temperature cycles on the resting loss
and diurnal evaporative emissions of the 1996 and newer vehicles.

     For the purpose of characterizing the effects of varying the
fuel RVP and/or the temperature cycle, EPA proposes to continue
(from the previous analyses) the approach of dividing the in-use
fleet into four strata.  The first of these strata consists of
vehicles having substantial leaks of liquid gasoline (as opposed
to simply vapor leaks); these vehicles were labeled "gross liquid
leakers."  EPA proposed (in M6.EVP.001) using as a definition for
such vehicles the requirement that the hourly resting loss (at 72
degrees Fahrenheit) be at least 1.0 grams per hour of HC.  EPA
realizes that such a definition could result in potentially
ignoring a vehicle having a substantial leak that is apparent
only when the engine is operating (e.g., some fuel line leaks).

     While neither the purge test nor the pressure test measures
evaporative emissions, a vehicle's failure on either test is
indicative of potential malfunctions of the vehicle's evaporative
control system.  Additionally, the recruitment of the vehicles in
the third data source was intentionally skewed to recruit a
larger proportion of vehicles with potentially malfunctioning
evaporative control systems (i.e., a stratified random
recruitment).   Therefore,  the results of any analysis must be
weighted to correctly represent the entire in-use fleet.   Thus,
the analyses will be stratified to match the recruitment process.
EPA proposes to use the results on the purge and pressure tests
to define the remaining three strata.  This approach produces the
following three additional strata each containing:

    1)   vehicles  that  pass  both the purge and pressure tests,

    2)   vehicles  that  fail  the pressure test  (regardless  of their
        performance on the  purge  test),  and

-------
                               -5-                          DRAFT
    3)  vehicles  that  fail  only  the purge  test.

     As discussed previously, it is necessary to make use of the
RTD tests performed on older vehicles to predict the effects on
the evaporative emissions of changes to the temperature cycle or
the fuel RVP.  In order to make use of those RTD tests on some of
those 270 vehicles, EPA made the following assumptions:

    1)  The  1996  and newer  vehicles are  expected to  be  port  fuel
       injected  (PFI);  therefore, EPA chose  the 1990 to  1995
       model year  vehicles that were equipped with  PFI as
       appropriate surrogates.   (RTD tests on a total  of 25
       vehicles  were  found and  appear in  Appendix A.)

    2)  RTD  tests were performed on 65 1996-97 model year
        (enhanced evaporative procedure  certified) vehicles  using
       a  daily temperature profile in which  the ambient
       temperatures cycled between 72 and 96 degrees with a  fuel
       having  an RVP  of 9.0 psi (data source number 1).  EPA
       proposes  to use  those test results to obtain baseline
       evaporative emissions for these  "properly functioning"
       vehicles  for that specific temperature cycle and  for  that
       test fuel.  To "correct" those baseline  values  for
       temperature and  RVP changes, EPA identified, in its  RTD
       data base (data  source 3), ten 1990-95 model year PFI
       vehicles  that:

         •  passed  both the purge  and pressure  tests,

         •  had a RTD  test  performed  using a  daily  temperature
            cycle ranging between  72  and 96 degrees  with  a  fuel
            having  an  RVP of 9.0 psi  (i.e.,  at  the  baseline
            conditions used for  the  vehicles  in  data source  1),
            and

         •  had one or more additional  RTD tests performed using
            a fuel  with an RVP  of  6.8  psi.

    3)  EPA  believes that the RTD emissions from malfunctioning
       enhanced  evaporative control vehicles  (i.e., vehicles
       that developed problems  with their evaporative  control
       systems)  will  be similar to the  RTD emissions from the
       1990 to 1995 model  year  vehicles that also develop
       problems  with  their evaporative  control  systems.  That
       is,  those 1996 and  newer model year vehicles that had
       failed  either  EPA's purge or pressure tests  are expected
       to have evaporative emissions similar to those  1990  to
       1995 model  year  PFI vehicles that  also failed the same
       test.

        Thirteen  such  vehicles  were  identified  in  the  combined
        EPA/CRC sample (eight of  the 13  failing only the  purge
        test  and  the remaining  five  failing  the pressure  test).
        (See  Appendices  B  and C,  respectively.)  EPA proposes to
        use these 13 vehicles to  estimate  the effects  on  both the
        resting loss and diurnal  emissions for  the malfunctioning
        enhanced  evaporative control vehicles of changes  to  the
        temperature cycle  and/or  to  the  RVP  of  the fuel.
4.0  Analysis

     As noted in two previous reports (M6.EVP.001 and
M6.EVP.002), EPA proposes to use the results of the RTD test to
model two distinct mechanisms of evaporative emissions:

    1)   "Resting  loss"  emissions  are  always  present,  regardless
        of vehicle  activity,  and  are  relatively weakly related to
        the  ambient temperature as  opposed to  diurnal  emissions
        which are related to  the  rise in  temperature.

     The earlier reports calculated the hourly resting loss
        emissions to be the mean  of the RTD  emissions  from hours
        19 through  24 at the  nominal  temperature for  hour  24.
        This method permitted EPA to  estimate  the  hourly resting
        loss emissions  at three distinct  temperatures  (60,  72,
        and  82 degrees  Fahrenheit).   In those  analyses, resting
        loss emissions  were determined to be independent of the
        RVP  of the  test fuel.

    2)   "Diurnal" emissions are the pressure-driven emissions
        resulting from  the daily  increase in temperature.

     The diurnal emissions were calculated by first estimating
        the  resting loss value for  the ambient temperature at
        each hour of the 24-hour  cycle, and  then subtracting that
        temperature-adjusted  resting  loss estimate from the RTD
        hourly test results.

This approach permitted EPA to analyze separately the relatively
constant resting loss emissions and the  (pressure driven)  diurnal
emissions.

4.1  Resting Loss Emissions

4.1.1   Resting  Loss  Emissions  of  Properly  Functioning Vehicles

     In Section 3.0,  EPA proposed using data from 10 of the older
(1990-95)  model year vehicles to characterize the effects on the
baseline evaporative emissions of altering either the temperature
cycle or the fuel RVP for the 1996 and newer model year vehicles
with properly functioning evaporative control systems.   Since the
resting loss emissions were calculated as the average hourly
emissions during hours 19 through 24 of the RTD test, to
calculate the baseline resting loss emissions (from the RTD tests
of the 65 vehicles in data source 1) we need the emissions to be
measured and reported hourly (or at least in six hour intervals).
Unfortunately,  the test results in data source 1 were reported
for each 24-hour period; therefore, EPA does not currently have
the necessary baseline resting loss data for that stratum.  Thus,
EPA must determine not only the correction factors but also the
baseline resting loss values.

     EPA believes that, while that sample of 10 vehicles
(proposed in Section 3.0) is appropriate for estimating the
effects of varying either the temperature cycle or fuel RVP, the
actual emission values are not necessarily representative of
actual 1996 and newer vehicles.  Hence, those vehicles might not
be appropriate for estimating the baseline resting loss
emissions.  To find an appropriate subset of the 10-vehicle
sample composed of vehicles whose emissions are representative of
the 1996 and newer vehicles, we examined the data from the 65
certification vehicles  (from data source 1).   Those vehicles had
a mean RTD emission for the first 24-hours of a 72-hour RTD test
of 0.745 grams  (for a temperature cycle from 72 to 96 degrees and
with a 9.0 RVP fuel).  The corresponding median RTD for those 65
tests was 0.635 grams.  In the 10-vehicle sample, the five
vehicles that had RTD emissions of at most 1.0 grams (over the
same temperature cycle and using the same test fuel) had mean and
median RTD emissions of 0.726 and 0.653 grams, respectively.
This sample of five vehicles consisted of four light-duty
vehicles and one light-duty truck.  Based on the similarity of
RTD emissions as indicated by both the means and medians of the
65-vehicle sample and this five-vehicle sample,  EPA proposes to
use the smaller sample to estimate both the baseline and the
temperature corrections of the hourly resting loss emissions of
the properly functioning 1996 and newer vehicles.

     We then estimated the hourly resting loss associated with
60, 72 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit for each of those five vehicles
(see Appendices A and D) and regressed the resting loss emissions
against the ambient temperatures to obtain Table 2.  A linear
(rather than exponential or polynomial) regression was used for

consistency with the modeling of resting loss emissions of the
pre-1996 vehicles  (see  reports M6.EVP.001 or M6.EVP.002).

     Converting that  linear regression analysis into an equation
produces equation (1) below:


Hourly Resting Loss (grams/hr) = -0.027859 + [0.000514 * Temperature (°F)]                 (1)

EPA proposes to use  equation (1) to estimate  the hourly resting
loss emissions  (in grams  per hour)  of that portion of the fleet
of 1996 and newer model year vehicles with properly functioning
evaporative control  systems.

     Equation (1) predicts that the mean hourly resting loss
emissions  (for the fleet  of 1996  and newer model year vehicles
with properly functioning evaporative control systems) would be
negative for all ambient  temperatures below or equal to 54.2
degrees Fahrenheit.   EPA  will assume that the resting loss
emissions at those temperatures will be zero grams per hour.

     Equation (1) also predicts that  the mean hourly resting loss
emissions  (for the fleet  of 1996  and newer model year vehicles
with properly functioning evaporative control systems) at 72
degrees Fahrenheit would  be 0.009149 grams per hour.  Repeating
that calculation for  each hour of the full 24 hours of the RTD
test,  and then adding the 24 "temperature corrected" hourly

resting loss emissions produces the full day's total resting loss
for the fleet of 0.3596 grams per vehicle.  Subtracting that
value from the mean RTD test results (0.745 grams per day) yields
total diurnal emissions of 0.385 grams per vehicle per day  (which
will be used as the baseline diurnal emission in Section 4.2.1).
4.1.2   Resting  Loss  Emissions  of  Malfunctioning  Vehicles

     In Section 3.0,  EPA proposed using five 1990-95 model year
vehicles to represent the 1996 and newer model year vehicles that
failed the pressure test (four of which were tested over all
three temperature cycles) and using eight vehicles to represent
the 1996 and newer model year vehicles that failed the purge test
(see Appendix D).   Repeating the approach used with the vehicles
passing both the purge and pressure tests, we estimated the
hourly resting loss associated with ambient temperatures of 60,
72 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit for each of those 12 vehicles that
were tested over all three temperature cycles.  We then regressed
the resting loss emissions against the ambient temperatures
within each of these two strata:

     •    the stratum represented by the four vehicles failing
          the pressure test (see Appendices C and D) and

     •    the stratum represented by the eight vehicles failing
          the purge test (see Appendices B and D).

Additionally, we combined the test results on all 12 vehicles to
create the single stratum of vehicles failing either the purge or
the pressure test, and we again regressed the resting loss
emissions against the ambient temperatures within that third
stratum.

     In each of those three strata, the differences in resting
loss emissions from vehicle-to-vehicle exceeded the differences
in emissions resulting from changes in ambient temperature.  This
resulted in each regression analysis producing both low R-squared
values and indicated that temperature was not a statistically
significant variable (an unlikely situation).   In order to obtain
a model for hourly resting loss emissions based on temperature,
we attempted to reduce the effect of the vehicle-to-vehicle
variability by averaging the resting loss emissions for all 12
vehicles at each of the three temperatures  (i.e., producing only
three temperature / resting loss pairs)  and then regressing those
three data points.  This regression produced an R-squared of
100.0 percent.  Since MOBILE6 is designed to predict only the
mean emissions,  EPA proposes to use this regression to estimate
the means of the hourly resting loss emissions (in grams per
hour) of the 1996 and newer model year vehicles with

-------

malfunctioning evaporative control systems.   Converting  that
linear regression analysis into an equation yields:


Hourly Resting Loss (grams/hr) = -0.076535 + [0.001603 * Temperature (°F)]                 (2)

     Equation (2) predicts that the mean hourly resting loss
emissions  (for the fleet of 1996 and newer model  year vehicles
with malfunctioning evaporative control systems)  will be negative
for all ambient temperatures below 47.8 degrees Fahrenheit.   EPA
will assume that the resting loss emissions at those temperatures
will be zero grams per hour.

4.1.3   Resting  Loss  Emissions of  "Gross Liquid Leakers"

     In a previous report  (M6.EVP.001), EPA proposed that,  for
the pre-1996 vehicles classified as gross liquid  leakers,  the
resting loss emissions are virtually independent  of temperature,
averaging a constant 8.84 grams per hour.  EPA proposes  to
continue that assumption for the 1996  and newer vehicles that
were certified to the enhanced evaporative standard.

4.2  Diurnal Emissions

     In Section 4.1, equation (1) indicates that for each one
degree  (Fahrenheit) increase in ambient temperature, there is a
corresponding increase of 0.000514 grams per hour in the hourly
resting loss emissions.  Applying that  temperature correction to
each hour of the full 24 hours of the  RTD test, and then adding
the 24 "temperature corrected" hourly  resting loss emissions
produces the full day's total resting  loss  (in grams).   This
approach predicts that the full day's  resting loss emissions  (in
grams) would be 24 times the hourly resting loss  (calculated  at
the day's low temperature) plus 0.140  grams.  Subtracting that
quantity from each of the RTD test scores of  the  ten properly
functioning vehicles yields the estimated diurnal emissions on
each of the 48 RTD tests on those 10 vehicles.

     Repeating this procedure for the  13 malfunctioning  vehicles
but using the coefficient  (0.001603) from equation  (2),  predicts
that the full day's resting loss emissions  (in grams) would be  24
times the hourly resting loss  (calculated at  the  day's  low
temperature) plus 0.437 grams.  Subtracting that  quantity from
each of the RTD result score of the 13  malfunctioning vehicles
yields the estimated diurnal emissions.

     Two factors that significantly affect a  vehicle's  diurnal
emissions  (see M6.EVP.001 and M6.EVP.002) are:
     •    the Reid vapor pressure  (RVP) of the test fuel and

-------
                               -11-                           DRAFT


     •    the temperature cycle, as represented by the
          combination of the cycle's midpoint temperature and
          temperature range.

In previous reports  (M6.EVP.001 and M6.EVP.002), we created  a
single parameter that incorporated all of those factors.  That
new parameter is based on the fuel's vapor pressure  (VP).  In
those reports, we used both the RVP of the fuel and the  ambient
temperature to estimate the vapor pressure curve.   (The  RVP  is
the VP measured at 100 degrees Fahrenheit.)  The VP was  then used
to create that new parameter which was used as the variable  on
which diurnal emissions were calculated.  That new parameter is
defined by the following formula, equation (3).


     VP_Product_Term = (VPmoH - VPi_ow) * (VPmoH + VPi_ow) / 2                     (3)
    Where
         VPHIGH is the VP (in kiloPascals)  associated with the
                     day's  high  temperature.
         VPLOW is the VP (in kiloPascals)  associated with the
                     day's  low temperature.

The analyses in those earlier reports modeled the diurnal
emissions as functions of both that VP product term and  the  RVP
of the test fuel.

4.2.1   Diurnal  Emissions  of Properly  Functioning Vehicles

     In Section 3.0, EPA proposed using the 25 1990-95 model year
vehicles listed in Appendix A to model the diurnal emissions from
the 1996 and newer model year vehicles with properly  functioning
evaporative control systems.  However, only five of those 25
vehicles were tested at each of the six possible temperature and
RVP combinations.    (While a sample of five vehicles is relatively
small, the disadvantages of that small size are offset by having
the identical sample of vehicles at each of those six testing
combinations which eliminates some of the problems caused by
having test results on a different group of vehicles  at  each of
those combinations.)

     The approach used in the earlier reports was to  first
regress the mean diurnal emission emissions against the  RVP  of
the test fuel combined with either the VP product term  (in
kiloPascals squared) or the square of that product term.  Those
six mean values (for the five vehicles) are given in  the
following table.

These means do confirm two reasonable patterns:

     •    For each temperature cycle, as the fuel volatility
          increases, so do the diurnal emissions.

     •    For a given fuel, as the temperature cycle increases,
          so do the diurnal emissions.

This confirms that the diurnal emissions, rather than being a
function of the VP product term alone, might be a function of
that term in combination with the fuel RVP or temperature cycle.
A number of different combinations were tested, and the one that
proved most successful in predicting the diurnal emissions was a
regression of the logarithm diurnal emissions against:
     •    the RVP of the test fuel (in psi)  and
     •    the vapor pressure product term (in kiloPascals
          squared).
The results of that regression analysis are given in Table 3.

     In the analyses  performed in the previous reports, after  we
completed the regression analysis,  we then modified the constant
term (produced by  the regression)  so that the resulting curve
would pass through the mean of all  the relevant data  (i.e.,  in
this case, through the mean of the  65 certification RTD tests  at
the single temperature / RVP combination).   In Section 4.1.1,  we
estimated that 0.385  grams  per vehicle per day was the baseline
value of the diurnal  emissions of the properly functioning  1996
and newer vehicles.   Modifying the  constant term in the preceding
regression equation so that curve passes through that baseline
value (over the  72 to 96 degree cycle using 9.0 RVP fuel)
produces the equation:
24-Hour Diurnal (grams) = exp [ -0.33599 + (0.002905 * VP_Product_Term )

              -(0.381496* RVP)]

     EPA proposes  to  use  equation (4)  to estimate the 24-hour
diurnal emissions  of  all  1996 and newer model year vehicles with
properly functioning  evaporative control systems with  the
following two modifications:
     Regardless of  the  increase in ambient temperatures,  there
     are no diurnal  emissions until the ambient temperature

     exceeds 40°F.  (This assumption was used consistently for
     all evaporative emissions in MOBILES.)

     For a temperature cycle in which the daily low temperature
     is below 40°F, EPA proposes to calculate the diurnal
     emissions for that day as an interrupted diurnal (see
     M6.EVP.002)  that begins once the ambient temperature reaches
     40 °F.

 2)  The 24-hour diurnal emissions will be zero grams for any
     temperature cycle in which the diurnal temperature range is
     zero degrees Fahrenheit (i.e., a constant temperature
     throughout the entire day).

     For temperature cycles in which the diurnal temperature
     range is between zero and ten degrees Fahrenheit, the 24-
     hour diurnal emissions will be a linear interpolation
     between the predicted value for the ten-degree cycle (with
     the appropriate RVP) and zero grams.

4.2.2   Diurnal Emissions of Vehicles  Failing  the  Pressure Test

     In Section 3.0, EPA proposed using five 1990-95 model year
vehicles to model the diurnal emissions from the 1996 and newer
model year vehicles that failed the pressure test (Appendix C).
Only four of those five vehicles were each tested using the same
two fuels  (i.e.,  the 6.8 and 9.0 psi RVP fuels)  over each of the
three temperature cycles  (i.e., the 60 to 84,  the 72 to 96,  and
the 82 to 106 degree cycles).   Thus, at the six different
combinations of temperature cycle and fuel RVP there were a total
24 measurements of diurnal emissions.   In Section 4.2.1, we noted
that the diurnal emissions for the vehicles with properly
functioning evaporative control systems were not a strictly
increasing function of the VP product term.   However, for the
vehicles that failed the pressure test, the diurnal emissions
increased as the VP product term increased.   We, therefore,
repeated the approach used in the earlier analyses of regressing
the diurnal emission emissions against the cube of the VP product
term (in kiloPascals squared),  producing the Table 4.   (As a
check,  we ran other regressions that included RVP as one of the
variables along with the vapor pressure product term.  In none of
them was RVP identified as being statistically significant.)

     We then modified  the  constant term (produced by the
regression) so that  the  resulting curve would pass through  the
mean of all the relevant data (i.e.,  all 28 tests on the  five
vehicles at nine  temperature / RVP combinations).  This
produced the following equation:

failed the pressure  test with the following two modifications
(repeated  from Section 4.2.1):

     In Section 3.0, EPA proposed using eight 1990-95  model year
vehicles to model the diurnal emissions from  the  1996  and  newer
model year vehicles that failed only the purge test.   Only five
of those eight vehicles were each tested over the six  different
combinations of temperature cycle and fuel RVP.   Thus, at  the  six
different combinations of temperature cycle and fuel RVP there
were a total 30 measurements of diurnal emissions.   Repeating  the
approach used in Sections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2, we regressed  the
diurnal emission emissions against the cube of the VP  product
term (in kiloPascals),  producing the resulting table:

4.2.4   Diurnal Emissions  of "Gross Liquid Leakers"

     In a previous report  (Section  5 of report number
M6.EVP.002), EPA proposed estimating the mean of  the diurnal
emissions  for each temperature cycle of the  vehicles classified
as "gross  liquid leakers" using  equation (7),  below.   That
equation predicts diurnal emissions as a function of a single
variable,  the diurnal temperature range (i.e.,  the daily high
temperature minus the daily low  temperature):


24-Hour Diurnal (grams) = 20.058 + [ 3.343 * Diurnal_Temperature_Range ]                 (7)

     EPA proposes  to  continue using equation (7) to estimate the
mean 24-hour diurnal  emissions of all gross liquid leakers
regardless of model year whenever the diurnal temperature range
is at least 10 degrees  Fahrenheit.  The 24-hour diurnal  emissions
will be zero grams for  any temperature cycle in which  the diurnal
temperature range  is  zero degrees Fahrenheit (i.e., a  constant
temperature throughout  the entire day).   For temperature cycles
in which the diurnal  temperature range is between zero and  ten
degrees Fahrenheit, the 24-hour diurnal emissions will be a
linear interpolation  of the predicted value for the ten-degree
cycle (i.e., 53.49 grams)  and zero grams.
5.0  Summary

     For the 1996  and  newer model year vehicles that were
certified to the enhanced evaporative testing procedure, EPA
proposes to model  the  resting loss and diurnal emissions
separately for  those vehicles having substantial leaks of  liquid
gasoline.  For  the non-leakers,  EPA proposes to model the  resting
loss and diurnal emissions separately based on the functional
status of the vehicle's  evaporative control system.

     EPA proposes  to model the hourly resting loss emissions (in
grams per hour) using  the following three formulae:

 •  For vehicles with substantial leaks of liquid gasoline
     ("Gross Liquid Leakers"):
    Hourly Resting Loss = 8.84

 •  For vehicles with properly functioning evaporative control
     systems:
    Hourly Resting Loss = -0.02786 + [0.000514 * Temperature (°F)]               (1)

 •  For vehicles with malfunctioning evaporative control  systems:
    Hourly Resting Loss = -0.07654 + [0.001603 * Temperature (°F)]               (2)

Additionally, any  predicted resting loss emission that is
negative will be replaced with zero.

     EPA proposes  to model the full (24-hour) day's diurnal
emissions  (in grams per  day)  using the following four formulae:

 •  For vehicles with substantial leaks of liquid gasoline
     ("Gross Liquid Leakers"):
    Diurnal = 20.058 + [3.343 * Diurnal_Temperature_Range (°F)]                 (7)

                                -19-                           DRAFT


 • For vehicles  with properly functioning evaporative control
     systems:
    Diurnal = exp [ -0.33599 + (0.002905 * VP_Product_Term )
                 -(0.381496*RVP)]                              (4)

 • For vehicles  failing the pressure test:
    Diurnal = 7.80475+ [ 0.012985 * Cube of VP_Product_Term]/M              (5)
                       Where   M  =  1,000,000

 • For vehicles  failing the purge test:
    Diurnal = 1.13484+ [ 0.006945 * Cube of VP_Product_Term]/M              (6)
                       Where   M  =  1,000,000

Additionally, the following two modifications  apply to the
diurnal emission that are predicted by any of  the  four preceding
formulae:

 1)  Regardless  of  the increase in ambient temperatures,  there
     are no diurnal emissions until the temperature exceeds 40°F.

     For a temperature cycle in which the daily  low temperature
     is below 40°F,  EPA proposes to calculate  the  diurnal
     emissions for  that day as an interrupted  diurnal (see
     M6.EVP.002)  that begins once the ambient  temperature reaches
     40 °F.

 2)  The 24-hour diurnal emissions will be zero  grams for any
     temperature cycle in which the diurnal  temperature range is
     zero degrees Fahrenheit  (i.e., a constant temperature
     throughout  the entire day).

     For temperature cycles in which the diurnal temperature
     range is between zero and ten degrees Fahrenheit,  the 24-
     hour diurnal emissions will be a linear interpolation of the
     predicted value for the ten-degree cycle  (with the
     appropriate RVP)  and zero grams.
