Through engineering evaluation ofthe fuel tank temperature data, it was concluded that Transfer Flow, Inc.‘s steel replacement fuel systems will not have an adverse effect on the evaporative emissions of the Dodge Caravan. In addition, Transfer Flow, Inc. showed that their replacement fuel systems do not affect the operation of the OBD II systems of the Plymouth Voyager or the E—250 van. The same emissions and OBD II system impact is expected when the replacement fuel systems are installed on the 1999 model—year vehicles for which the exemption is requested. This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for these Replacement Fuel Storage Systems not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those of the vehicle manufacturer.
