Three main causes of evaporation losses are tank breathing, air sweeping through tank, and air evolving from fuel; variables affecting evaporation losses; fuel characteristics and temperature, altitude pressure, and tank and flight conditions; equations derived to calculate losses at altitudes lower than boiling altitude by known initial fuel characteristics and known flight and tank conditions.
