- this loss may be due to fuel leakage or fraudulent fuel deliveries.
- the volume of fuel sucked into the fuel storage tank corresponds to the volume of fuel vapor recovered in the storage tank by the fuel vapor recovery system and the air volume. sucked through the vent pipe.
- the difference between the volume of fuel sucked and calculated according to this method and the volume of fuel delivered and measured by the meter of the fuel dispenser makes it possible to calculate the abnormally lost fuel volume.
