IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED:  That the installation of the Fuel Pilot, Model
M—20—L, manufactured by Engine Management Systems, 805—B University Ave., Los
Gatos,   California 95030,   has been found not to reduce the effectiveness of
required motor vehicle pollution control devices and, therefore, is exempt from
the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code for 1993 and older model—
year vehicles operating on liquefied petroleum gas and utilizing Impco or an
Impco—compatible feedback controlled conversion system.

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.

This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for this
device will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from
those submitted by the system manufacturer.

Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the device, as exempted by
the Air Resources Board, that adversely affect the performance of a vehicle‘s
pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order.

Marketing of this system using an identification other than that shown in this
Executive Order or marketing of this system for an application other than those
listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is
obtained from the Air Resources Board.  Exemption of a kit shall not be construed
as exemption to sell, offer for sale, or advertise any component of a kit as an
individual device.

This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect that the
use of this device may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the
vehicle manufacturer.
