SUMMARY The Magnetizer Group, Inc., of P.O0. Box 1000, Gardenville, PA 18926, applied for exemption from the prohibitions In Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code for their fuel—energizer device. The device is designed for Iinstallation on 1987 and oider model—year gasoline and diese!— powered vehicles. Previously, the Air Resources Board exempted two similar devices; "Polarion—X" by AZ Industries, Inc. and "Petro—Mizer MKI" by P and M Research and Development Laboratory, with the same basic operating principles. Based on the engineering evaluation of the device and exemption of similar devices, the staff believes that the fuel—energizer device doeé not have any adverse effect on exhaust emissions. The staff recommends thét the fuel—energizer device be exempted from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 and that Executive Order D—174 be issued.

EVALUATION OF THE MAGNETIZER GROUP, INC.‘S FUEL—ENERGIZER DEVICE FROM THE PROHIBITIONS IN VERICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE 1. INTRODUCT ION The Magnetizer Group, Inc., of P.0. Box 1000, Gardenville, PA 18926, has applied for exemption from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code for their fuel—energizer device models FE—1 and FE— HD. The device is designed for installation on 1987 and older model—year gasoline and diesel—powered vehicles. The applicant submitted two samples of the device, one of each mode!, for our inspection and evaluation. The applicant aiso submitted drawings and specifications of the device for our evaluation. E1. N LON: Based on the engingering evaluation of the device andvprevious exemption of similar devices with the same operating principles, the staff‘s enginesering judgement is that the fuel—energizer device does not have any adverse effect on exhaust emissions. PH. RECOMMENDAT IONS The staff recommends that the Magnetizer Group, Inc. be granted an exemption from the prohibitions in California Vehicle Code Section 27156 for their Fuel—Energizer device and that Executive Order (E.0.) D—174 be issued.

IV. VI D RIPT ION The Fuel—Energizer is a magnetic device which is designed for installation on fuel lines. It consists of two models; FE—1 and FE—HD. FE— 1 is designed to fit around small diameter fuel [ines (less than 1/2") and is held in place by two locking t{es. The device is a "U" shaped steel 'plate with a hole on each side and two cube magnets with dimensions of 1/2" X §/8" X 3/4" mounted therein. The south pole of the magnets face towards the fue! line and the north poles face the steel plate. The device is encased in a plastic coating in order to hold the magnets in place and prevent the stee! plate from corroding. The FE—HD unit js designed for larger diameter fuel lines (larger than 3/8"). The dimension of the magnets aré 1/2" X 5/8" x 2—3/8". It uses a flat steel! plate to hold the fuel [ine in place. Appendlx A contains figures of both models of the device and Appendix B shows the Installation instructions. v. D1SCUSS ION The Magnetizer Group, Inc. claims that when their device is installed on a vehicle‘s fuel line, It will alter the ion polarities of the fue! which will improve vaporization, air/fue! mixture, combustion rate, engine performance and fue! economy. They submitted several testimonials concerning the benefits of the device. They also submitted comparative steady—state emisslons test data to support their claim. The Air Resources Board (ARB) did not perform any emission or fue! 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. 1t is the staff‘s opinion that the technical principles underlying the stated ~2~

function of the device are not capable of producing any effects on emissions and fue! economy. The ARB exempted two similar devices; "Polarion—X" by AZ Industr ies, lnc. and "Petro—Mizer MKI" by P and M Research and Development Laboratory. Based on the exemption of these two similar devices and an enginsering evaluation of the Fusel—Energizer device, the staff recommends ' that the Fuel—Energizer device be exempted from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156.

Appendik B WHY A MAGNETIZER FUEL ENERGIZER? w Today‘s fuels leave a natural carbon residue that clogs lines, jets, carburetors and‘injectors which teads to poor fuel economy, high heat post—ignition carbonbuild—up, and internal engine damage. Today‘s blend of various gasolinas cause pinging (fuel & power loss from poor octane} and vaporization (stalling) because the fuul‘s composition cannot keep up with the very hot running high—tech engines of today. Paraffin build—up in diesel & home fuel systems is a natural phenomenon which clogs lines, jets and causes hard cold—weuther starting, smoking, higher maintenance costs, and poor fuel economy. mm mm These pictures are photomicro— graphs of a clean (left) and a normal (right) fuel—injector pintle and pic— tures of the gas spray from the injec— tor of each pintle. It is obvious that the clogged injector gives an inef— ticlent spray resulting in TREMEN— DOUS FUEL WASTE. THE MAGNETIZER FUEL ENERGIZER WILL SOLVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS! The MAGNETIZER ionically bonds oxygen to the hydrocarbon molecule for a moreefficient and explosive gas. Magnetizing the fue} also polarizes the mixture by replacing the chaotic, natural gas mixture with anevenly—charged, uniformiy—aligned gas, which results in a total burn for complete BTO output (no hot spolting), and bulter tuet efficiency. The magnetic fuel also attracts and removes previous carbon build—upin the jets, injectors, & engine for even higher efficiency. INSTALLATION: The fuel energizer should bu clainped on: 1. Gasoline Motors: On gas line just buforu carburetor 2. Diesel or Gas: On pressure fuel linu just before distribution tree to all injectors 3.

Appendix B Continued EASY TO INSTALL — SIMPLY STRAPS ON HOW? 1. PLACE ONE TIE STRAP THROUGH 1ST SET OF HOLES (SEE FIGURE A}. CAUTION: DO NOT PULL TOO TIGHT. 2. POSITION EACH UNIT OVER PIPE AND INSERT 2ND STRAP THROUGH REMAINING HOLES AND TIGHTEN EACH STRAP UNTIL THE UNIT FITS SNUGLY AROUND THE PipE (sEE FGurEe B). TRUCK INSTALLATION THE FE—HD WILL FIT FUEL LINES OVER 3/8" OR STEEL BRAIDED RUBBER LINES. To IN FUEL INJECTED ENGINES THE FE—HD MUST BE BUTTED , AGAINST THE INJECTOR PUMP, Injectors / intake IN CARBURETED ENGINES THE FE—HD MUST BE BUTTED Manifold AGAINST THE CARBURETOR &____ High Pressure Injector ENGINE STABILIZATION PERIOD MAGNETIZEA / Pumnp/ Carburetor SYSTEM THE STABILIZATION PERIOD IS THE AMOUNT OF USE (TIME) JQES TO DISSOLVE THE CARBONAVARNISH BUILD—UP AND FULLY SATURATE (MAGNETIZE) ALL THE STEEL PARTS BETWEEN THE FE — iE COMBUSTION CHAMBER. UPON INSTALLATION, THE ENGINE WILL RUN SMOOTHER AND START EASIER, ECONOMY MAY INITIAL— LY CTUATE AS THE CARBON & VARNISH PARTICLES BREAK OFFAND DISSOLVE IN THE SYSTEM. THESE DISSOLVING PARTICLES BAIEF— LY CAUSE VERY MINOR JET—CLOGGING BUT CREATE NO PROBLEM AS THEY NATURALLY DISSOLVE DURING THE PERIOD. THE STEEL PARTS ALSO BECOME FULLY SATURATED ALLOWING THE FUEL TO FLOW FULLY ENERGIZED. THE STABILIZATION PERIOD LASTS AP— PROXIMATELY 1000 MILES. THE ECONOMY/POWER (PERFORMANCE) GRADUALLY INCREASES OVER THE 1000 MILE PERIOD RESULTING IN TOTAL EFFICIENCY AT THE END OF THE STABILIZATION PERIOD. THE FE PROVIDES MOST ENGINES WITH "HIGH—TEST" DETERGENT CLEANING PERFORMANCE ON LOWER OCTANE GAS OR DiIESEL — COLD WEATHER GELLING A COMMON PROBLEM IN COLD WEATHER IS GELLING (PARAFIN WAX BUILD—UP) IN DIESEL FUEL LINES._THIS PROBLEM CAN BE SOLVED BY PLACING AN ADDITIONAL MAGNETIZER UNIT ON THE FUEL LINE BUTTED AGAINST EACH FUEL TANK. (MAY REQUIRE 2 UNITS) HOME HEATING INSTALLATIONS THE FE—HD IS SUITABLE FOR LIQUID PROPANE, FUEL OIL, ETC. FOR THESE USES, PLACEMENT MUST BE ON THE FUEL LINE JUST BEFORE THE BURNER INJECTOR GUN, AFTER THE FUEL FILTER NOTE: THE FE—HD IS NOT SUITABLE FOR NATURAL GAS USE.
