     When gasoline is pumped into a tank, hydrocarbon vapors are forced
     out and into the atmosphere.  To reduce this significant source of
     air pollution, devices are installed to capture the vapor.  In
     testing these vapor recovery systems, a "sniffer" measures the
     amount recovered. John Rice provided the data for the file
     sniffer.txt.
