  • valuating a cost of replacing the fuel filler cap;

    calculating an amount of emissions that corresponds to an emissions offset credit having a monetary value equal to the cost;

    estimating an emissions threshold that an object having a fuel container would have to reach to meet the amount of emissions;

    measuring a leakage amount of the fuel filler cap; and

    replacing the fuel filler cap when the measured leakage amount exceeds the emissions threshold.
