  1. Communication summary

    本予備情報は、2020年の温暖月における冬季燃料の使用と、それが引き起こす可能性のある走行性の問題について通知するものです。進行中のコロナウイルス(COVID-19)パンデミックは、走行と燃料使用の大幅な削減を引き起こしています。貯蔵中(パイプライン/ステーション)の冬季燃料の過剰により、EPAは燃料蒸気要件を免除しています。これにより、冬季燃料の使用が夏月まで延長されます。走行性の問題は単一の事象ではなく、暑い日に関連する複数の発生であるべきです。 Machine translation (unreviewed)

    This Preliminary information communicates the use of Winter grade fuel during the warm months of 2020 and the potential rivability issues that it can cause. The ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has caused significant reductions in driving and fuel use.  Due to the surplus of winter grade fuel sitting in storage (pipelines/stations) the EPA is waiving the fuel vapor requirement.  This will extend the use of winter fuel into the summer months. The drivability concerns should not be single events but should be multiple occurrences associated with hot days.
