State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD October 28, 1975 Addendum to the Staff Report Dated July 21, 1975 "Evaluation of TVI Marketing, Inc., "Turbo Yapor Injector" for Exemption from the Prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Motor Vehicle Code" Introduction TVI Markéting= Inc. of Marysyille, Michigan has received an exgmptifin from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code under "Executive Order D—2—2 for its "Turbo Vapor Injector" for 1975 and older mode} vehicles. A description of the device, test data and cther pertinent information in support of their application for this exemption will be found in the attached staff report dated July 21, 1975. Thé applicant has requested that this exemption be extended to include the 1976 model vehicles. {Exhibit A). The applicant states that there is no change in the unit or its application. 11. Evaluation The 1976 emission control systems are basically the same as the 1975 systems. Since the device has not been changed, the test data for the.1975 model vehicles will also apply to the 1976 models. The staff has no basis upon which to deny the request of the .applicant and concurs that the device will not increase emissions

from the 1976 model vehicles. II1. Recommendation The staff recommends adoption of Executive Order D—2—3 granting TVI Marketing, Inc. exemption from the prohibition of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code for its "Turbo Vapor Injector".

State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD July 21, 1975 Staff Report Evaluation of TVI Marketing, Inc., "TURBO VAPOR INJECTOR" for Exemption from the Prohibitions of ‘Section 27156 of the Motor Vehicle Code Introduction — TYI Marketing, Inc. of Marysville, Michigan, has applied for an exemp— tion from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Motor Vehicle Code for its "Turbo Vapor Injector". This section prohibits the installation of any device which reduces the effectiveness of the motor vehicle emis— sion control system. The applicant is requesting an extension of his exemption to include the 1975 and older model year vehicles. This device was o}iginaily granted an exemption for the 1974 and older model vehicies by Executive Order D—2—1 dated February 28, 1974. The "Turbo Yapor Injector" models CA—03 and VA—04 are still in use but the fluid has been changed (See system description below). 11. System Description_ This device consists of a vapor injector system and a proprietary fiuid which is admitted into the PCV system. A plastic bottle is mounted

in the engine compartment with a rubber hose providing the connec— tion with the engine. According to the applicant, the proprietary fluid is now manufactured by the Grow Chemical Company and is designated by fluid specification number G—1074. The fluid composition is considered similar to the fluid spec. no. 1072 previously exempted. The control valve which admits vapor to the engine is located on the cap of the bottle. This valve can be adjusted to control the flow rate of the vaporous—fluid mixtures and has a maximum orifice dia— meter of 0.022 in. The system contains a standpipe‘whfch provides venting to the atmosphere. The same model device is used for all vehicle applications. [. System Function The vapof injection system cperates by applying manifold vacuum to a tee in the PCV line théreby allowing fluid vapor from a storage tank to be displaced through an interconnecting rubber tube into the intake manifold of the engine. Air enters the fiuid tank through the top of a standpipe creating bubbles at the bottom end due to the venting action

caused by the engine vacuum. The formed bubbles and subsequent rising action enhance the evaporation rate of the fluid. This vaporous—fluid—mixture generally enters the engine through the PCV line. I¥. System Evaluation The Air Resources Board Laboratory evaluated the "Turbo Yapor Injector" by performing the following test sequence on three vehicles. These vehicles were: 1. 1975 Ford Pinto, license No: 195 CVF, 140 CID, 2—bb1., 4 cylinder engine. 2.— 1975 Chevrolet Vega, license No. 989 LHY, 140 CID, 2—bb1., 4—cylinder engine. 1975 Datsun B210, registration No. HLB 210 to 2—bb1., 85.2 CID, 4—cylinder engine. Each vehicle received the following preparation before each test. 1. The engine operating parameters were checked and set to manufacturers specification if required. 2. The fuel tamk was filled to capacity. 3. ‘The vehiclé was operated for 10 miles on the road to purge the evaporative emissions cannister. 4. The evaporative emission cannister was disconnected from the vehicle‘s fuel tank before the cold soak. 5. The evaporatfve emissions cannister was reconnected before running the CYS test.

A CYVS—1975 cold start baseline test was made on each vehicle. The device was then installed and adjusted in compliance to the manufacturer‘s instructions (Appendix A). A follow—up CVS—II cold start test was then made with the device in operation. The test on the Vega was repeated to verify the results of the first test. The results of the CVS—II tests are as listed: Emission,g/mile Fuel Economy Ho C0 Hox MP& _ 1975 Pinto Baseline 0.23 2.93 1.04 13.8 With TVI Injector 0.22 ~2.78 1.09 13.9 1975 Datsun Baseline 0.34 2.96 1.96 20.8 With TVI Injector —=0.3 2.94 2.11 20.8 1975 Yega(Test : Baseline 0.38 6.89% 1.62 17.1 With TVI Injector 0.60 7.47 1.58 15.7 1975 Yega(Test #2) Baseline 0.48 6.17 1.35 16.5 With TVI Injector 0.41 6.00 1.60 15.6 QOverall Average Results .. _ Baseline 0.33 4.14 1.50 17.1} ‘With TVI Injector 0.38 3.91 1.60 . 16.8 % Change +16.2 —5.6 +6.7 —~1.8 Significance* No _ No Yes ¥es *The significance of the data was determined by the paired "t" method. (See attached)

Conclusion The increase in hydrocarbons was found to be insignifcant,. The increase in nitrogen oxides was significant but not enough to justify the denial of the device from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code. The staff, {hereforei recommends that TVI Marketing, Inc., be granted this exemption for its}"Turbo Vapor Injector" for the 1975 and older model! motor vehicles in all classes.
