A mechanism for producing the observed asymmetry between the amplitudes and areas of the blue and red wings of Stokes V profiles, which is based on velocity gradients, is explored. It is found that the velocity gradients do not produce a Stokes V area asymmetry in very weak lines. A stationary velocity gradient is neither able to reproduce the observed asymmetry of lines of different strengths and excitation potentials nor simultaneously reproduce the widths and asymmetries of strong lines. If the asymmetries of Fe I 5250.2 A, Fe I 6301.5 A, and Fe I 6302.5 A are reproduced, it is shown that their zero crossing wavelengths are too strongly redshifted as compared to observations.
