Approval does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of the Air Resources Board, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use.)

UMMARY J. A. Lance Company, Inc. of 22704 Ventura Blvd., #244, Woodland Hills, California 91364, has applied for exemption from the prohibitions in Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code for their Fuel Charger model #‘s XL100, XL200 and XL400. The Fuel Charger is designed for installation on the following applications: XL100 : 1990 or Older Vehicles, Fuel Injected, Any Fuel Type XL200 : 1990 or Older Model Year Vehicles, Fueled with Regular or Regular Unleaded Gasoline XL400 : 1990 or Older Model Year Vehicles, Fueled with Premium GasolTine or Diesel Fuel Previously, the Air Resources Board exempted three similar devices; "Polarion—X" by AZ Indqstries, Inc. , "Petro—Mizer MKI" by P and M Research and Development Laboratory, and "Fuel Energizer" by Magnetizer Group, Inc., with the same basic operating principles. Based on the engineering evaluation of the device and exemption of similar devices, the staff believes the Fuel Charger does not have any adverse effect on exhaust emissions. The staff recommends the Fuel Charger be exempted from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 and that Executive Order D—205 be issued.

EVALUATION OF J. A. LANCE COMPANY, INC.‘S FUEL CHARGER FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS OF VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE I. INTRODUCTION J. A. Lance Company, Inc. of 22704 Ventura Blvd., #244, Woodland Hills, California 91364, has applied for exemption from the prohibitions in Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code for their Fuel Charger model #‘s XL100, XL200 and XL400. The Fuel Charger is designed for installation on the following applications: XL100 : 1990 or Older Model Year Vehicles, Fuel Injected, Any Fuel Type XL200 : 1990 or Older Model Year Vehicles, Fueled with Regular or Regular Unleaded Gasoline XL400 : 1990 or Older Model Year Vehicles, Fueled with Premium Gasoline or Diesel Fuel The applicant submitted specifications of the device for our evaluation. II. CONCLUSTONS Previously the Air Resources Board (ARB) exempted three similar devices: "Polarion—X" by AZ Industries, Inc., "Petro—Mizer MKI" by P and M Research and Development Laboratory, and "Fue! Energizer" by The Magnetizer Group, Inc. Based on the engineering evaluation of the device and prior exemptions issued to devices that operate in a manner similar to the Fuel Charger, the staff believes that the Fuel Charger will not have any adverse effects on the exhaust emissions from gasoline and diesel powered vehicles.

III. RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends L. A. Lance Company, Inc. be granted an exemption from the prohibitions in California Vehicle Code Section 27156 for its Fuel Charger and that Executive Order D—205 be issued. IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The Fuel Charger is a magnetic device designed for installation on fuel lines. It consists of three models; XL100, XL200 and XL400. The device is designed to fit around the fuel lines and is held in place by two or three tie raps (depending on the model) and two cotter pins. The device is a rectangular shaped two piece non—toxic plastic block encasing four to eight magnets. The dimension of the magnets are 1—7/8"long, 7/8" wide by .390" thick. Appendix A contains engineering drawings of the device and Appendix B shows the installation instructions. v. DISCUSSION J. A. Lance Company, Inc. claims when the device is installed on a vehicle‘s fuel line, various magnetic fields from the device cause 95 percent of the fuel molecules to be matched with an oxygen molecule when introduced; thereby producing a near perfect combustion. This improves engine performance and horsepower, reduces dieseling and hesitation, and reduces the vehicle‘s required maintenance.

The ARB did not perform any emission or fuel economy tests to substantiate the claims made by the manufacturer. No adjustments such as timing, EGR, fuel metering or any other engine adjustments are included in the installation instructions. Previously, the ARB exempted three similar devices: "Polarion—X" by AZ Industries, Inc., "Petro—Mizer MKI" by P and M Research and Development Laboratory, and "Fuel Energizer" by The Magnetizer Group, Inc. The exemptions were granted based on back—to—back CVS—testing, fuel economy testing and engineering evaluation. Because of the previous exemptions issued to similar devices with the same operating principle and the fact that qualifying for an exemption is based on not adversely affecting exhaust emissions, the staff recommends that J.A. Lance Company, Inc. be granted an exemption as requested.
