Section 1: Pre-Testing – Credentials, EOs, System Identification
Q1: The primary purpose of gasoline vapor recovery systems is to:
A. Increase fuel octane only
B. Capture gasoline vapors that would otherwise be released to the atmosphere during fueling
and delivery [CORRECT]
C. Cool the underground storage tank
D. Eliminate the need for any permits
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Vapor recovery reduces VOC emissions from Stage I and Stage II operations.
Q2: CARB Executive Orders are important because they:
A. Are optional suggestions only
B. Specify certified vapor recovery systems and requirements that must be followed
[CORRECT]
C. Apply only to diesel systems
D. Replace all manufacturer instructions
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: EOs define certified equipment and compliance conditions.
Q3: Before testing or repairing vapor recovery equipment, technicians should:
A. Ignore manufacturer instructions
B. Hold required certifications/licenses and follow applicable Executive Orders and
manufacturer specs [CORRECT]
C. Only use generic automotive tools with no training
D. Never check permits
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Credentials and current specs are foundational to compliant work.
