Which safety measure is often included in vapor recovery systems?

• A. Automatic fuel shut-off valves
• B. Vapor capture nozzles
• C. Emergency lighting systems
• D. Customer notification systems

Answer: (B)

Vapor recovery systems are built to keep gasoline vapors from escaping into the air, protecting workers and the environment from volatile, flammable vapors. The best fit here is vapor capture nozzles, which are designed to seal tightly at the pump and route the vapors back through a vapor return line to the storage or processing system. This capture and return action directly reduces vapor releases during fueling, lowering VOC emissions and improving safety by keeping vapors contained rather than vented.

Other options don’t tie directly into containing vapors during fueling. Automatic fuel shut-off valves help prevent overflow but aren’t the vapor-specific safety feature of recovery systems. Emergency lighting systems and customer notification systems are important for safety and operations, but they don’t address vapor capture or emission reduction.
