VST EVR Fuel Pump
Has anyone seen these pumps in CA? I've noticed it at four gas stations so far, two 76, and two Chevron. There's only one notch to control the fuel flow instead of the usual two or three. VST is one of the manufacturer's, I have yet to see others.
What is Enhanced Vapor Recovery (EVR)? Enhanced Vapor Recovery or "EVR" refers to a new generation of clean nozzles and equipment that control emissions at gasoline dispensing facilities in California. By April 1, 2009, nearly 13,000 gasoline dispensing facilities in California will need to obtain permits, purchase EVR equipment, and have the installation performed by a certified contractor. See Advisory 373 or the EVR pamphlet for more information. Vapor recovery systems reduce gasoline vapor emissions, which leads to gasoline savings. California's total gasoline throughput is about 16 billion gallons per year. EVR Overview: http://www.evrhome.org/evr_pamphlet_aug08.pdf VST EVR Locations 76 - 1700 Powell St Emeryville, CA 76 - 27574 Bernard Drive Kettleman City, CA 76 - 500 Tennessee St Vallejo, CA Chevron - 2990 Travis Blvd Fairfield, CA Chevron - 401 Leavesly Rd Gilroy, CA Chevron - 1890 19th Ave San Francisco, CA It sounds like I'll be getting more gas. Sorry for the blurry pics, I didn't want to start a fire. Last edited by KrazyDawg; 10-19-2010 at 10:25 AM. |

It's a gas pump and the hose that goes with it. http://www.vsthose.com/ shows the product info.

You didn't mention how much gas is wasted by not using those pumps. Sounds to me like another way to jack the price!

There hasn't been any change in prices. Non-EVR gas stations are still priced the same. Supposedly these gas pumps won't drip, so you don't have to tap out the remaining gas. I've had a gas pump blow off the car and spill gas all over the floor. There's also the pumps where it doesn't feel like you get a secure fit. I don't have this issue with the EVR gas pump.

There's been issues reported with some of these pumps. Customers had spilled gas on themselves. So far, I found two gas stations that removed the hold-open latch so now you have to manually hold the pump until you're done filling up.

Why do you drive a Yaris if you don't care about fuel efficiency and pollution?

If you are talking about the same car that I am: CARB (california air resources board) they deal with maybe not as much with fuel efficiency directly, but definitely pollution.
