State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD Staff Report January 18, 1981 Evaluation of the M.G.S., Inc. Morrison (Carb II) Gas Saver Device in Accordance with Section 2222, Title 13, of the California Administrative Code I. INTROBUCTION M.G.S., Inc. of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, has applied for an exemption from the prohibitions in Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code for an add—on device known as the Morrison (Carb II) Gas Saver. This exemption is being requested for all 1982 and older gasoline—fueled engines. The device was evaluated by back—to—back Constant Volume Sampler 1975 (CVS—75) tests. II. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The Morrison Gas Saver (Figure 1) is a supplementary carburetion device which connects to the fuel (1) upstream of the fuel pump and the PCV line (2). Fuel is drawn into the Gas Saver by a negative pressure within the canister and is regulated by a needle, seat, and float assembly (4, 5, 6, 7, 9) equivalent in design to that of a carburetor. The fuel in the gas saver is absorbed by a sponge (10), and then vaporized by engine compartment heat diluted by air entering through the filter assembly (12) and drawn by intake manifold vacuum into the engine through the PCY system Figure (2). The filter assembly is fitted with a check valve to prevent the escape of hydrocarbon vapor during shut down.

III. APPLICANT‘S TEST RESULTS The applicant submitted cold start CVS—72 and HFET data from a 1980 Federal Pontiac Grand Prix and cold start CVS—75 and HFET data from a 1981 Oldsmobile Delta 88 and a 1980 Ford Station Wagon. These data are: Vehicle No. 1, 1980 Pontiac Grand Prix 4.3L automatic transmission, VIN 2J37SAP§41012, odometer 30629: Cold Start CVS—72 Test Emissions (g/mile) Fuel Economy _HC_ _C0_ NOx_ mi/gal Baseline 1.87 18. 63 1.94 20.00 Device 1.43 _8.62 1.95 20.22 % Difference 24 —54 0 +1 Hot Start HFET Emissions (g/mile) Fuel Economy _HC_ _CO_ NOx_ mi/gal Baseline 1.18 ~ s.04 2.10 28.5 Device 0.80 3.61. 2.06 28.7 % Difference —32 —55 +6 +1 Vehicle No. 2, 1980 Ford 302 CID automatic transmission, VIN OA7Z4F126693, odometer 36896.

Hot Start HFET Test Emissions (g/mile) Fuel Economy _HC_ _c0o_ NOx_ mi/gal Baseline 0. 08 1.48 .52 22.4 Device 0.08 2.45 .17 22.5 % Difference 0 +65 —67 0 IV. DISCUSSION Cold—Start emissions data from vehicles 1 and 3 indicate no significant increase in exhaust emissions. Vehicle 2 appears to be marginal with respect to NOx, however this reflects only a 3.3 ppm change in bag 2 concentration and is still 29% below the applicable standard. . CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION The staff finds no evidence to indicate that the Morrison (Carb II) Gas Saver will have a significant effect on emissions from a motor vehicle. The staff also finds no evidence to indicate that the Morrison Gas Saver will save gas. The staff, therefore, recommends the approval of Executive Order AMrlse) No. D—122 exempting the mwmagee injector from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156.
