EVALUATION OF NATIONAL FUELSAVER CORP FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS ORATION‘S PLATINUM GASAVER ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE OF VEHI CLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE I. INTRODUCTION National Fuelsaver Corporation, 60 Piain Street, Clinton, Massachu sett 01510 , previously received an exem ption from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section (VC) 27156 for the Platinum Gasaver under Executive Order D—13 4. Under Executive Order D—134, the device can be used on 1983 and older mode l—year vehicles. National Fuelsaver has requested the exemption for the Platinum Gasaver be updated to include the 1990 and older model—years. The applicant states there is no change in the design of the original unit or its application. II. CONCLUSIONS The Air Resources Board‘s sta ff previously determined throug h an engineering evaluation that the Platinum Gasaver would not adv ersely affect the vehicle‘s exhaust emissions. Since the device has not been changed, the staff has no basis upon which to den y the request of the applicant and concurs that the device will have no advers e impact on emissions of 1990 and older mode!— year vehicles. III. RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends to grant the exemption to National Fuelsaver Corporation as requested and Exec utive Order No. D—134—1 permitti ng the advertisement, sales and installation of the Platinum Gasaver for 1990 and older model—year vehicles be issu ed.

IV. PLATINUM GASAVER DESCRIPTION AND OPERATIO N The Platinum Gasaver is a vapor en injection system. It consists of a plastic container (reservoir), a tube to remotely connect the reservoi r to the engine‘s intake manifold, and a prop rietary fluid. The reservoir is made of molded plas tic. There are two openings on the reservoir, an outlet nipple with a 0.006 inch orifice at the upper part of the reservoir and an inlet opening clos e to the bottom of the reservoir. A 5/8 inch fill pipe is open at the top to the atmosphere; its bottom is connected to the reservoir‘s inlet opening. A fill line is marked on the side of the reservoir to indicate and limit the reservoirs‘ filling to approximatel y one— half of its volume (nominal fill is approximately one pint). A "T" connector is used to link the connecting tubing through exis ting vacuum lines to the enginejs inta ke manifold. The tubing ends are simply slipped over the "T" connector and the outlet nipple on the reservoir without clamps . The Platinum Gasaver concentrate (approximately 1 oZ.) is a propriet ary fluid and mixed with 12 oz. of pref erably distilled water. In operation, negative pressure from the engine intake manifold is applied to the upper portion of the reservoir through the fill pipe into the bottom portion of the reservoir. The air then bubbles through the flui d and rises to the upper portion of the reservoir to be mixed there with the liquid vapor. This mixture is then drawn into the engine‘s intake manifold and mixed with the air/fuel mixture charge being delivered to the engine cyli nders. _2

V. DISCUSSION National Gasaver Corporation previous Li ly received a VC 27156 exemption for the Platinum Gasaver for 1983 and older model—years. The device has not changed and this same technology can be used on the 1990 model—year vehi cles. Therefore, staff determined the Platinum Gasaver will not have an adverse impact on 1990 and older model—year vehicles. Lem
