                     Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156
                                of the Vehicle Code

                                       EM CAT, INC.
                            EMISSIONS ELIMINATOR—FUEL BOOSTER

WHEREAS, Vehicle Code Section 27156 and Title 13 California Code of
Regulations (hereafter "CCR") Section 2222(e), authorizes 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,   EM Cat,   Inc.   of Route 2,   Box 201,   Portales,   New Mexico 88130,   has
applied to the ARB for exemption from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code
Section 27156 for the Emissions Eliminator—Fuel Booster.

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—5,             the Air
Resources Board finds:

     1.    The Emissions Eliminator—Fuel Booster 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 Emissions Eliminator—Fuel Booster is intended for use with a
           required pollution control system.

     4.    The Emissions Eliminator—Fuel Booster by being installed on the
           fuel line alters the original design of a motor vehicle pollution
           control system.

     5.    The Emissions Eliminator—Fuel Booster is a device subject to the
           prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 and an add—on part as
           defined by 13 CCR Section 1900(b)(1).

     6.    The Emissions Eliminator—Fuel Booster 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 Emissions Eliminator—Fuel Booster will provide
           either a decrease in emission or an increase in fuel economy.

     8.    It has not been determined what effect use of the Emissions
           Eliminator—Fuel Booster may have on any warranty, either expressed
           or implied, by the manufacturer of a motor vehicle on which the
            device is installed.                                       '

     9.     The Emissions Eliminator—Fuel Booster is not a certified motor
            vehicle pollution control device pursuant to Health and Safety
            Code Section 43644.

    _—£40NS ELIMINATOR—FUEL BOOSTER                   (Page 2 of 3)




     10.   The ARB by granting an exemption to EM Cat, Inc. for the Emissions
           Eliminator—Fuel Booster does not recommend or endorse in any way
           the Emissions Eliminator—Fuel Booster for emissions reduction,
           fuel economy, or any other purpose.

IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Emissions Eliminator~Fuel Booster is exempt
from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 for installation on 1993
and older model—year gasoline and diesel powered vehicles subject to the
following conditions:

           mechanism advertised,      offered for sale or sold with,   or installed

           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 ah identification other than that
           shown in this Executive Order or marketing of this device for an

           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 Emissions Eliminator—Fuel Booster and is
           only a finding that the device is exempt from the prohibitions of
           Vehicle Code Section 27156.

     5.    No claim of any kind, such as "Approved by the Air Resources
