1. The Dripless Nozzle Saving the Environment One Drop at a Time driplessnoz@gmail.com Matthew D. Millard

2. “The Air Is Cleaner, But Not Clean Enough” CARB  Cars Pollute 90% less now than in 1970  Zero-emission vehicles actually exist  Keep businesses that pollute in check  Vapor Recovery system I and II  Enforced liquid retention in hoses maximum  Enforced Post-Fueling Drips From Nozzle (3 drops maximum)

3. The Problem

4. NO POST FILL DROPS!! Valve Open Opens from Minor Back Pressure Valve Closed The Solution…A Dripless Valve

5. Environmental Impact  132,086 gallons/Year Spilled  Significant VOC Source  Toxicological Risk  Water Contamination  Over $500,000/year 22 Spilled Semi Trucks National Defense Center for Energy and Environment

7. The Future Is in Your Hands  California Needs Enforced Dripless Valves, just as it needed vapor recovery, zero emission vehicles, etc.  CARB is the only entity that can help.

8. Generation I Dripless Valve

9. Generation II

10. Solution is to STOP THE DRIP Not put a requirement on how many Tp-201.2D (Post-Fueling Drips From Nozzles)
