At source · Designed to address evaporative loss earlier in the storage context.
SPPE
Prevention-first, evaluated application by application.
SPPE — System for Preventing Petrol Evaporation — is designed to reduce gasoline evaporation at source within compatible fuel-storage applications.
Passive operation · Designed to operate without an active energy-consuming recovery cycle.
Complementary · Intended to sit alongside applicable vapour-management and safety controls.
Application-specific · Suitability and expected performance are never assumed from a generic tank description.
Where SPPE fits
Stage I and Stage II systems manage vapour in defined delivery and refuelling processes. SPPE takes a different, prevention-first position. It is not a substitute for any legally required control, inspection, or safety duty.
The technical-review pathway
- 01 · Context — storage type, capacity, fuel, throughput, operating pattern, and jurisdiction.
- 02 · Existing controls — vapour recovery, pressure/vacuum controls, inspection, and site constraints.
- 03 · Engineering screen — access, compatibility, safety requirements, and practical integration.
- 04 · Evaluation plan — scope, baseline, pilot, validation method, and review criteria.
What does SPPE stand for?
System for Preventing Petrol Evaporation. “Petrol” is embedded in the product name; this Canadian site uses “gasoline” in normal copy.
Does SPPE replace vapour recovery?
No. Applicable legal, safety, and vapour-recovery requirements remain in place.
Does SPPE require external operating power?
It is designed for passive operation without an active energy-consuming recovery cycle. Application requirements are confirmed during review.
What performance should a site expect?
A 2019 customer letter reported an approximately 83% reduction in evaporation losses at one SPPE installation. This was a customer-reported result from one installation. It is not a universal performance claim, certification or guarantee. Results depend on application-specific conditions and require technical evaluation.
What is needed to begin?
A high-level operating context is enough for the first conversation. Sensitive engineering detail should follow through an appropriate controlled channel.
