CARB Regulations

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has approved new emission and spill-control regulations for portable fuel containers that came into effect in California on January 1, 2001. According to CARB, traditional gas cans account for about 87 tons of smog-forming pollution a day in California. This is equivalent to emissions generated by about 1 million cars.

All new fuel cans manufactured, sold, or supplied for use in California after Januarry 2001 must meet with specific performance standards.
