Northwest Tank can help station owners comply with important Vapor Recovery Test requirements.
Vapor Recovery Test requirements vary based on the station location and fuel throughput. Permits obtained from the local clean air authority will further outline specific testing requirements for each site. Sites equipped with Stage II (Vacuum Assist or Balance) vapor recovery systems usually require testing. To determine the tests required for your site, Northwest Tank offers free consultations to assist station owners with compliance.
Tests conducted by Northwest Tank are completed in accordance with California Air Resource Board (CARB) executive orders and test procedures.
