Anti-smog canister fires risk in new cars by 2006
USA Today reports anti-smog devices to be installed on all new cars by 2006 may pose a fire hazard. The coffee-can size canisters capture fumes during fueling, raising vapor totals and fire risk, says Michael Brownlee. GM safety chief Robert Lange calls for monitoring the threat as EPA pushes 40 percent adoption in 1998 models. NHTSA notes current devices lack safety standards. A 1991 study found 27 percent more fires in cars with canisters.
