                              State of California
                              AIR RESOURCES   BOARD



                            EXECUTIVE ORDER D—174—7
                   Relating to Exemption Under Section 27156
                              of the Vehicle Code


                           THE MAGNETIZER GROUP, INC.
                          "FUEL ENERGIZER" MODEL AFRE—1

WHEREAS, Vehicle Code Section 27156 and Title 13 California Code of
Regulations (hereafter "CCR") Section 2222(e), authorize 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, The Magnetizer Group, Inc. of 7137 Durham Road, Pipersville,
Pennsylvania 18947, has applied to the ARB for exemption from the prohibitions
of Vehicle Code Section 27156 for the "Fuel Energizer" Model AFK—1.

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—9, the ARB
finds:

         1.    The "Fuel Energizer" Model AFE—1 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 "Fuel Energizer" Model AFE—1 is intended for use with a
               required pollution control system.

         4.    The "Fuel Energizer" Model AFE—1 by being installed on the fuel
               line alters the original design of a motor vehicle pollution
               control system.

         5.    The "Fuel Energizer" Model AFE—l is a device subject to the
               prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 and an add—on part
               as defined by Title 13, CCR Section 1900(b)(1)

         6.    The "Fuel Energizer" Model AFE—1 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 "Fuel Energizer" Model AFE—1 will provide
               either a decrease in emission or an increase in fuel economy.

         8.    It has not been determined what effect use of the "Fuel
               Energizer" Model AFE—1 may have on any warranty, either
               expressed or implied,   by the manufacturer or a motor vehicle on
               which the device is installed.

         9.    The "Fuel Energizer" Model AFE—1 is not a certified motor
               vehicle pollution control device pursuant to Health and Safety
               Code Section 43644.

         10.   The ARB by granting an exemption to The Magnetizer Group, Inc.
               for the "Fuel Energizer" Model AFE—1 does not recommend or
               endorse in any way the "Fuel Energizer" Model AFE—1 for
               emissions reduction, fuel economy, or any other purpose.


                                                                           7
                                                                     i P¥e]

"FUEL ENERGIZER" MODEL AFE—1                       (Page 2 of 2)



IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the "Fuel Energizer" Model AFE—1 is exempt from the
prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 for installation on 1997 and older
model—year gasoline and diesel powered vehicles subject to the following
conditions:

       1.     This exemption shall not apply to any device, apparatus, or
              mechanism advertised, offered for sale or sold with, or
              installed on, a motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with
              transfer to an 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 an identification other than
              that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of this device
              for an application other than those listed in this Executive
              Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained
               from the ARB.   Exemption of this product shall not be construed
              as an exemption to sell,       offer for sale,    or advertise any
              component of the product as an individual device.

       4.     Any oral or written references to this Executive Order or its
              content by The Magnetizer Group, Inc., its principals, agents,
              employees, distributors, dealers, or other representatives must
              include the 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 "Fuel
              Energizer" Model AFE—1 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
              Board" may be made with respect to the action taken in any
              advertising or other oral or written communication.

Viclation of any of the above conditions shall be grounds for revocation of
this order.  The order may be revoked only after a ten—day written notice of
intention to revoke the order, in which period the holder of the order may
request in writing a hearing to contest the proposed revocation.  If a hearing
is requested, it shall be held within ten days of receipt of the request and
the order may not be revoked until a determination after hearing that grounds
for revocation exist.

further force and effect.
