oh, you might consider your health and safety obligations under state 
and federal statute...

if you've got gasoline in the gas tanks, you are probably violating 
OSHA storage regulations, and if the gas is evaporating, you surely are 
in violation for air quality. (air purifier? come now.)

the state of colorado will probably have something to say as well.

perhaps someone in one of those offices will want to pick up the 
phone...

Air Pollution Control Division

Urban Air Toxics

Thank you for taking the time to review efforts of the Colorado Air 
Pollution Control Division to reduce hazardous air pollutants. The Air 
Pollution Control Division conducts several activities that control or 
prevent hazardous air pollutants, including:

     * Automobile inspection and maintenance
     * Clean Fuel and alternative fuel use
     * Ozone reduction awareness efforts to reduce volatile organic 
chemicals
     * Chlorofluorocarbon reduction and phase-out
     * Air pollution control technology requirements for industry
     * Pollution Prevention efforts in industries and communities 
statewide

The air division also conducts activities to measure and analyze 
hazardous air pollutants in Colorado. These include:

     * Hazardous air pollutant inventory development, such as databases 
of stationary source emissions and the Colorado Diesel Exhaust 
Emissions Study (2003)
     * Pollution modeling, which estimates emissions of air toxics, 
their transport in air and their effect on ambient (outdoor) air 
quality
     * Air monitoring, to measure the quantity of specific pollutants in 
the air.

For more information contact Lisa Silva at 303-692-3119, or Mark 
McMillan at 303-692-3140, both of the Colorado Air Pollution Control 
Division.
