gasoline powered engines produced for sale in the United
States to be equipped with a special low permeation fuel
supply hose between the carburetor and fuel tank. When

supply hoses certified by EPA can be used to replace the
original equipment supply hose. Fines up to $37,500 may be
enforced for using an un-certified replacement part.
