                           Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code

                                    Transfer Flow, Inc.

Pursuant to the authority vested in the undersigned by Sections 39515 and 39516 of the
Health and Safety Code and Executive Order G—14—012;

IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That installation of the Replacement Fuel Storage
System, manufactured by Transfer Flow, Inc. (TFI) of 1444 Fortress Street, Chico,
California 95973, has been found not to reduce the effectiveness of the applicable
vehicle pollution control system, and therefore, the Replacement Fuel Storage System
is exempt from the prohibitions in VC Section 27156 for installation on the following
vehicle:

System           Vehicle
080—01—16514     2017 model—year Ford Motor Company 2.5 liter Transit Connect with

                 family HFMXRO130NDF

This Executive Order is based on testing and engineering evaluation of the
Replacement Fuel Storage System for impact on emissions. If evidence provides
CARB with reasons to suspect that Transfer Flow, Inc.‘s Replacement Fuel Storage
System will affect other emissions, such as canister bleed emissions, Transfer
Flow, Inc. will be required to perform additional test(s) in the future to show that such
emissions are not affected.

This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for the Replacement
Fuel Storage System do not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different
from those of the vehicle manufacturer.

Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the Replacement Fuel Storage
System, as exempt by CARB, which adversely affect the performance of the vehicle‘s
pollution control system, shall invalidate this Executive Order.

Marketing of the Replacement Fuel Storage System using identification other than that
shown in this Executive Order or for an application other than that listed in this
Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from CARB.


                                              J

exemption to sell, offer for sale, or advertise any components of the Replacement Fuel
Storage System as individual devices.

This Executive Order shall not apply to any Replacement Fuel Storage System
advertised, offered for sale, sold with, or installed on a motor vehicle prior to or
concurrent with transfer to an ultimate purchaser.

This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of the
Replacement Fuel Storage System may have on any warranty either expressed or
implied by the vehicle manufacturer.

No claim of any kind, such as "Approved by the California Air Resources Board," may
be made with respect to the action taken herein in any advertising or other oral or
written communication.

In addition to the foregoing, CARB reserves the right in the future to review this
Executive Order and the exemption provided herein to assure that the exempted add—on
or modified part continues to meet the standards and procedures of California Code of
Regulations, Title 13, Section 2222, et seq.

ACCREDITATION, APPROVAL, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF ENDORSEMENT BY
CARB OF ANY CLAIMS OF THE APPLICANT CONCERNING ANTI—POLLUTION

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 Executive
Order may not be revoked until a determination is made after a hearing that grounds for
revocation exist.                            .

Executed at El Monte, California, this    [        day of June 2017.
