The Coordinating Research Council, Inc. (CRC) has sponsored a variety of timely vehicle evaporative emission test programs over the last two decades, adding greatly to the knowledge base of mobile-source inventory issues. CRC Project E-77 evolved as a pilot study to determine if the mechanisms of evaporative emissions could be measured effectively. If the pilot study were a success, a follow-on program could continue to develop additional data, suitable for input to current and proposed inventory models, which could assist in modeling current and future mobile-source emissions. This work is timely as this category of newer vehicles will become the predominant class of vehicles in the light-duty fleet. This report focuses on the process of measuring emission mechanisms and the lessons learned to date. Plots of the test data are presented in this reports appendix. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Coordinating Research Council, Inc., Atlanta, GA. / Availability Note: Available on CD-ROM and in color paper copy only.
