State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD Staff Report December 30, 1974 Evaluation of the Lift, Inc. "Lift Fuel Efficiency System" Vapor Injector for Compliance with the _Requirements of Section 27156 of the California Motor Yehicle Code Introduction Lift, Inc. of 7819 Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles, Califormia 90046 has submitted an application requesting an exemption from-Vehic1e. Code Section 27156 (Reference — Exhibit A — Applicatiofi) for the "Lift Fue! Efficiency System". This Section of the Vehicle Code prohibits the installation of any device or mechanism which would adversely affect the performance of the eimission control system. 1 The applicant is requesting to extend their exemption to include the 1975 model year vehicles. Lfft, Inc, was granted an exemption to Vehicle Code Section 27156 by Executive Order D—23—2 dated July 12, f974. ©The staff has previously evaluated this device and found it to have no adverse effect on 1974 and older model—year vehicles (Reference — Exhibitvt and Exhibtt D — January 22, 1974 and July 3, 1974 Staff Reports). II. System Description The "Lift Fuel Efficiency System" is a vafiér injebtor device where the vapor enters the engine through the PCY system {Reference — Exhibit B — Instatation Instructibns). The device consists of a plastic tees,plastic‘botfilej rubber hose, mounting bracksts, and bottle cap containing an 0.022 inch restriction orifice. For a

Evaluation of the Lift, Inc. "Lift Fuel Efficiency System" Yapor Injector for Compliance with the Requirements of Section 27156 of the California _ . December 30, 1974 lotor Vehicle Code description concerning the operation of this device, refer to the staff report dated January 22, 1974 (Reference — Exhibit C). The fluid is a proprietary blend of alcohol and water solution. This fluid is manufactured by Kem Krest Product Cbmpany, 24684 Hathaway, Farmington, Michigan 48024. The composition of this fiuid ‘ is identified by Kem Krest Specification Number 1072 and is on file .with the Air Resources Board. The applicant has requested the fiuid composition be treated as confidential information. III. SystemEvaluation The staff has determined from previous evaluations of vapor injector type devices on pre—1975 model—year vehicles that an increase in ex— haust emissions will not cccur if the vapor bleed rate is limited to O.]d cubic feet per minute {ofm). The vapor bleed rate of the "Lift Fuel Efficiency System" is lHimited to 0.10 cfm by using a 0.022 inch orifice diameter. The staff believes the 0.10 ofm vapor bleed rate would not increase exhaust emissions on the 1975 model—year vehicles. However, the catalytic converter system used on some of the 1975 model— year vehicles can be déegraded by certain chemica] compounds. Based on. the information submitted by the applicanf concerning the fiuid composition, the staff investigated the effects of these chemicals on catalytic con— verters. From.this investigation, the staff ocncludes the Kem EKrest fluid does not contain any chemical compounds which will reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst.

LIFPT FUEL EFFICENCY SYSTEM 1s a compactunit which can be installed inside the engine compartment of any car or truck. The LIFT PUEL EFFICIENCY SYSTEM is a vopor induction system. It has a .022 open/shut valve. This set orfice controls the turbulation of the LIFT fuel and therefore, the vapor induged into £he air—gasoline mixture for each combustion. The LIFT open/shut valve does not require adjusting. Basically, LIFT FUEL EFFICIENCY SYSTEM is‘composed of a Plastic Fuel Reservoir or container; Control Valve, Hose and Connecting device, which(étfaéhes to your carburetor‘s Pollution Control Valve (PVC). Within the reservoir is a firoprietary blend of chemicals that vaporize from a balanced formula.. This vapor is drawn off the air space at the top of the reservoir. It then leads into the carburetor to blend with the gasoline‘s air mixture before it goes into the cylinders. This catalytic action extends the burning time of gasoline, giving you increased combustion efficiency. _This applicatioh, in fact a re—applicafiion, is respectively submitted for immediate consideration.

Exhibtit B {cont.) FUZL CONTENT inside the plastic bottle is a proprietary fluid, specification No. 1072, consisting of water, alcohols, ketones, aromatic hydrocarbons, and other organic compounds. The control valve which admits vapor to the intake manifold is mounted on the cap of the bottle. This valve has only two positfons —— fully open or fully closed. it has an orifice diameter of .022 inches. The system contains a standpipe which provides venting to the atmos— phere. The same model is used for applications to all vehicles. sSYSTENM FUNCTION As the engine vacuum increases, bubbles are formed at the end of the standpipe due to the venting action. The rising vapor bubbles violently agitate the fluid and tend to increase vaporization. This vaporous—fluid mixture enters the engine through the PCV system, or any primary vacuumsource to base of carburetor. TEAAA CA A T i3R SYSTEM EVALUATION St. Clair Sales and Distribution, Inc., has submitted emission results of CYS tosts performed by Scatt Research Laboratory. The dafa submitted gencrally show no adverse effect on emissions with this device when compared with the bascline date. Based on the information presented and operating characteristics of the system, no incompatibility exists with the accredited oxides of nitrogen retrofit devices. At any time, &.,’F to 60 days from date of purc«msc, you may return the LIFT Unit and receive a full refund, of the purchase price, less installation, FROM THE POINT OF PURCH ASE.

Exhibit B {cont.) IMPORTANT TIPS 1. Check all LH—I’ connections to insure against any vacuum leaks. 2. For best results, have your engine properiy tuned after LIFT instalfation, L1F T\vxll not correct pre—existing engine maifunctions. 3. Be certain to allow time (1,200 to 1,500 miles) for the LIFT System to cleanse your engine before achieving its maximum efficiency. In most cases you can use a fower octane gasoline with a LIFT System! . —— . . & 4. Compare your mileage improvement by.keeping an accurate record on the enclosed warranty card. We would appreciate your comments. When UFT fuel mixture is within 1 or 2 inches from the bottom of the reservoir, carefully replace oil mixture with fresh L{FT Fuel. Old fuel mixture should not be mixed with the new fuel. You should get approximately 2,500 to 4,000 miles per 60—o0zs, of LIFT Fuel, depending on engine cubic—inch displacement. D BY: ——
