                            THE MAGNETIZER GROUP, INC.
                           "FUEL ENERGIZER" MODEL AFE—1

WHEREAS,   Vehicle Code Section 27156 and Title 13 California Code of
Regulations    (hereafter "CCR") Section 2222(e), authorize the California Air
Resources Board (ARB) and its Executive Officer to exempt add—on and
modified parts from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156.

WHEREAS, The Magnetizer Group, Inc. of 7137 Durham Road, Pipersville,
Pennsylvania 18947, has applied to the ARB for exemption from the
prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 for the "Fuel Energizer" Model
AFE—1.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority vested in the Executive Officer by Health
and Safety Code Section 39515 and in the Chief, Mobile Source Division by
Health and Safety Code Section 39516 and Executive Order G—45~9, the ARB
finds:                                        .

     1.       The "Fuel Energizer" Model AFE~1 is an add—on device that is
              attached to the fuel line in a motor vehicle.

     2.       The fuel line is part of the required motor vehicle pollution
              control system.

     3.     The "Fuel Energizer" Model AFE—1 is intended for use with a
            required pollution control system.

     4.     The "Fuel Energizer" Model AFE—1 by being installed on the fuel
            line alters the original design of a motor vehicle pollution
            control system.

     5.     The "Fuel Energizer" Model AFE—1 is a device subject to the
            prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 and an add—on part as
            defined by Title 13, CCR Section 1900(b)(1).

     6.     The "Fuel Energizer" Model AFE—1 does not reduce the
            effectiveness of any required motor vehicle pollution control
            device.

    7.      The ARB, in the exercise of technical judgement, is aware of no
            basis on which the "Fuel Energizer" Model AFE—1 will provide
            either a decrease in emission or an increase in fuel economy.

    8.      It has not been determined what effect use of the "Fuel
            Energizer" Model AFE—1 may have on any warranty, either expressed
            or implied,   by the manufacturer or a motor vehicle on which the
            device is installed.

               pollution control device pursuant to Health and Safety Code
               Section 43644.

     10.       The ARB by granting an exemption to The Magnetizer Group, Inc.
               for the "Fuel Energizer" Model AFE—1 does not recommend or
               endorse in any way the "Fuel Energizer" Model AFE—1 for emissions
               reduction,   fuel economy,   or any other purpose.

IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the "Fuel Energizer" Model AFE—1 is exempt from
the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 for installation on 1996 and
older model—year gasoline and diesel powered vehicles subject to the
following conditions:

               mechanism advertised, offered for sale or sold with, or installed
               on, a motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an
               ultimate purchaser.

     2.        No changes are permitted to the device as described in the
               application for exemption.  Any changes to the device, applicable
               model year, or other factors addressed in this order must be
               evaluated and approved by the ARB prior to marketing in
               California.

     3.        Marketing of this device using an identification other than that
               shown in this Executive Order or marketing of this device for an

               be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the ARB.
               Exemption of this product shall not be construed as an exemption
               to sell, offer for sale, or advertise any component of the
               product as an individual device.

     4.        Any oral or written references to this Executive Order or its

               employees, distributors, dealers, or other representatives must
               include the disclaimer that the Executive Order or the exemption
               it provides is not an endorsement or approval of any fuel economy
               or emissions reduction claims for the "Fuel Magnetizer" Model
               AFE—1 and is only a finding that the device is exempt from the
