§ 2418. Evaporative Emission Standards and Test Procedures.
(A) The applicable emission standards outlined in Table 1 for either the 72 hour diurnal standard or the steady state diurnal standard. All OHRVs certified to the emission standards below are presumed to demonstrate compliance with federal permeation standards specified in Cal. Code Regs., tit.13, § 2412(b)(2).
Table 1
Vehicle and Model Year | Required Tests | 72-Hour Diurnal Standard(1) | Steady State Diurnal Standard(2) |
---|
OHRVs 2018 and later model years | Diurnal | 1 gram TOG/day | 1 gram TOG/day |
Fuel System Leakage Tip Test | No visible liquid leakage | |
__________ |
(1) Highest 24-hour diurnal test result over three consecutive 24-hour diurnal test periods. |
(2) 24-hour diurnal test result plus calculated vented emissions. |
Beginning with model year 2018, ATVs with fuel tanks that are re-designed to be geometrically different from fuel tanks of 2017 and earlier model years, and have a nominal capacity of greater than 3.5 gallons, must meet the filler pipe sealing surface requirements of Figure 1 of the International Standards Organization 13331:1995(E), published June 1, 1995, which is incorporated by reference herein. Perpendicularly down from the mating surface there must be a minimum of 120 mm (90 mm for nozzle, 5 mm for bellows compression, and 25 mm for extra space fuel flow) to the bottom of the tank.
(1) In lieu of certifying to the emission standards in subdivision (a), a small volume OHRV manufacturer may certify OHRVs to the design-based standards set out in Table 2. If a Small Volume OHRV Manufacturer elects to certify under this subdivision, they must perform a tip-test as specified in subdivision (a)(1).
Table 2
Effective Date Model Year | Fuel Tank Permeation Grams/m2/day | Fuel Hose Permeation Grams/m2/day | Carbon Canister Working Capacity Grams/Liter of Nominal Fuel Tank Volume | Fuel Injection |
---|---|---|---|---|
2018 and later model years | 1.5 @ 28°C (82°F)(1) | 15.0 @ 23°C (74°F) | 1.0(2) | Required |
__________ |
(1) Fuel tank permeation standards specified in Cal. Code Regs., tit.13, § 2412(b)(2). |
(2) The carbon canister must be actively purged during engine operation. |
(A) Fuel hose permeation, as set forth in SAE J1737, as amended May 14, 2013, using the test fuel specified in TP-933 or fuel CE10 as described in Part 1060.515(a)(1), Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, as amended on February 19, 2015, and incorporated by reference herein, which includes ASTM D471-06, Standard Test Method for Rubber Property -- Effect of Liquids (ASTM D471), last amended October 1, 2006, and incorporated by reference herein. Alternatively, fuel hose permeation may be tested in accordance with section 2412(c)(1).
(2) The weighted average of compliant OHRVs must be greater than 75 percent and can include early compliant model year 2017 OHRVs in the model year (MY) 2018 calculation so that: (MY2017%control + MY2018%control) X 0.4 + MY2019%control X 0.3 + MY2020%control X 0.2 + MY2021%control X 0.1 >75 % and percent compliance cannot decrease.
(5) For the purpose of calculating the fleet average, an OHRV manufacturer must use the percentage of OHRVs sold or offered for sale in California for model years 2018 through 2021. An OHRV manufacturer may calculate this average percentage using the projected sales for these model years in lieu of actual sales.
(e) Beginning in model year 2020, off-road motorcycle and ATV manufacturers may comply with the alternative evaporative standards shown in Table 3 or Table 4 in lieu of the emission standards set forth in subdivision (a). The controls specified in Table 3 or Table 4 shall be implemented following the schedule in Table 5:

I | Certified per Cal. Code Regs., tit. 13, § 2418(a) or 1976(b)(2) | |
II | 1.5 @ 28°C (82°F)(1) | 15.0 @ 40°C (104°F)(1) | Required | 1.0(1)(2) | |
III | 1.5 @ 28°C (82°F)(1) | 15.0 @ 23°C (74°F)(1) | None | None | |
__________ |
(1) Certification and test procedures specified in Cal. Code Regs., tit. 13, § 2418(c)(2) and (3) |
(2) For motorcycles with engines greater than 112 cc displacement, the carbon canister must be actively purged during engine operation. Motorcycles with engines less than or equal to 112 cc displacement may use either actively purged or passively purged canisters. Active purge refers to ambient air being drawn through a carbon canister by a vacuum created by the intake system. Passive purge refers to ambient air being drawn through a carbon canister by the vacuum created by normal diurnal variations of the fuel tank temperature. |
(3) Automatic fuel shutoff is a valve or similar mechanism that completely stops the flow of fuel to the carburetor automatically whenever the vehicle is turned off. |

III | 1.5 @ 28°C (82°F)(1) | 15.0 @ 23°C (74°F)(1) | None | None |
__________
(2) For ATVs with engines greater than 112 cc displacement, the carbon canister must be actively purged during engine operation. ATVs with engines less than or equal to 112 cc displacement may use either actively purged or passively purged canisters. Active purge refers to ambient air being drawn through a carbon canister by a vacuum created by the intake system. Passive purge refers to ambient air being drawn through a carbon canister by the vacuum created by normal diurnal variations of the fuel tank temperature.
