The pollutants from the evaporation of gasoline vehicle fuel mainly come from operating emissions, daytime emissions, hot soak emissions and refueling emissions. Among them, the pollution generated by refueling emissions in a short period of time is much greater than other evaporative emissions. The National VI emission standard specifically adds a Type VII test (i.e., refueling pollutant emission test) to control refueling pollutant emissions, and stipulates that the refueling emissions of a single vehicle are less than 0.05g / test. The existing National V fuel system is difficult to meet the requirements.
