SUMMARY D & S Enterprises of Jacksonville, Florida, has requested an exemption from the prohibitions in California Vehicle Code Section for their combined fuel heater and fuel pressure regulator device, a simplified version of the "Mileage Maker" manufactured by the Olde Worlde, Inc., in Greenboro, North Carolina. D & S Enterprises has requested that the device be exempted for 1983 and older model—year motor vehicles equipped with a six— or eight—cylinder carbureted engine, excluding those equipped with a fuel injected or a turbocharged engine. Based on an engineering evaluation of each component (fuel heater and fuel pressure regulator) of thigdevice, the staff concludes that the device will not have an adverse/f?fect on exhaust emissions from the vehicles for which exemption is requested. The staff, therefore, recommends that D & S Enterprises be granted an exemption for their device for the vehicles requested and that Executive Order D—139 be issued.

EVALUATION OF D & S ENTERPRISES‘ SIMPLIFIED "MILEAGE MAKER" DEVICE FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS IN VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE. I. INTRODUCTION D & S Enterprises, of 5425 Waterside Drive, Jacksonville, Florida 32210, has requested an exemption of an add—on device from the prohibitions in California Vehicle Code Section 27156. They have requested that their combined fuel heater and fuel pressure regulator device, which is a simplified version of the "Mileage Maker", be exempted for 1983 and older model—year motor vehicles equipped with a six— or eight—cylinder carbureted engine, excluding those equipped with a fuel injected or a turbocharged engine. II. CONCLUSION Based on an engineering evaluation of each component (fuel heater and fuel pressure regulator) of the device, the staff concludes that the device will not have an adverse effect on exhaust emissions from the vehicles for which exemption is requested. III. RECOMMENDATIONS The staff recommends that D & S Enterprises be granted an exemption for their simplified "Mileage Maker" device for 1983 and older modeT—year motor vehicles equipped with a six— or eight—cylinder carbureted engine, excluding those equipped with a fuel injected or a turbocharged engine. The staff also recommends issuance of Executive Order D—139.

IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The complete "Mileage Maker" device is a combination of a fuel heater, a fuel pressure regulator, an air conditioner compressor cut—off switch, and a water/vapor injector. It is manufactured by Olde Worlde, Inc. and is exempted for California sale under Air Resources Board Executive Order D—130. The simplified device is a combination of a fuel heater and a fuel pressure regulator only. It is packaged with installation hardware and instructions and sold as a kit. The fuel heater and fuel pressure regulator are positioned in series between the fuel pump and carburetor inlet. The fuel heater consists of a heat exchanger, a thermostat switch, and a solenoid valve. When the fuel in the thermostat chamber is below 120°F, the solenoid valve allows engine coolant to flow through the heat exchanger and heats the fuel. When the fuel in the thermostat chamber reaches a temperature of 120°F, the solenoid valve will be closed thus cutting off the flow of engine coolant to the heat exchanger. As fuel flows out the heater exchanger, at a maximum temperature of 120°F, the fuel passes through the fuel pressure regulator and into the carburetor inlet. Carburetor inlet fuel pressure is Timited to 3.5 psi by the design of the fuel pressure regulator. No modifications to the OEM tune—up specifications are required, nor permitted, when the “MiTege Maker" is installed.

V. DLSCUSSION The complete "Mileage Maker" consisting of a fuel heater, a fue!l pressure regulator, an air conditioner compressor cut—off switch and a water/vapor injector has been previously evaluated and exempted by the Air Resources Board under Executive Order D—130. The device manufacturer, by Olde Worlde, Inc., has permitted D & S Enterprises to distribute and sell the device, and has transferred to them their ARB files and contents therein. D & S Enterprises has decided to modify the device by deleting the water/vapor injector and air conditioner compressor cut—off switch components. The staff has evaluated the design parameters of each component of the simpTified "Mileage Maker" device. The design parameters are as follows. & fuel heater — maximum fuel temperature of 120°F into carburetor inlet. & fuel pressure regulator — maximum fuel pressure of 3.5 psi into carburetor inlet. The staff has previously evaluated these components individually and has noted that these design parameters will not have an adverse effect on exhaust emissions or driveabiTity of motor vehicles for which exemption is requested.
