                              EXECUTIVE ORDER D—420
                   Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156
                                 of the Vehicle Code


                             ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEMS LTD.
                                     "PURIMUFFLER"

WHEREAS, Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38391, and Title 13, California Code
of Regulations (hereafter "CCR") Section 2222, authorize the California Air
Resources Board (ARB) and its Executive Officer to exempt add—on and modified
aftermarket devices from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156.

WHEREAS, Engine Control Systems Ltd. of 165 Pony Drive, Newmarket, Ontario,
Canada L3Y7V1, has applied to the ARB for exemption from the prohibitions in
Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38391 for their "Purimuffler" system for
installation on 1990 and older model—year Detroit Diesel Corporation (DDC)
heavy—duty two—stroke diesel engines for urban bus applications.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority vested in the Executive Officer by Health
and Safety Code Section 39515 and in the Chief, Mobile Source Operations
Division by Health and Safety Code Section 39516 and Executive Order G—45—9,
the ARB finds that the above "Purimuffler" complies with the California
Vehicle Code Section 27156 and Section 2222 of Title 13, California Code of
Regulations.   Exemption of the "Purimuffler",      is based on testing conducted by
the Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio,       Texas,   and Mobile Source
Emissions Division of Environment Canada.

IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the "Purimuffler" is exempt from the prohibitions
in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for installation on 1990 and earlier model—year
DDC heavy—duty two—stroke diesel engines for urban bus applications subject to
the following conditions:

     1.   No changes are permitted to the "Purimuffler" as described in the
          original application for exemption.  Any changes to the
          "Purimuffler", the installation instructions, or any of its
          components, and other factors addressed in this order must be
          evaluated and approved by the ARB prior to marketing in California.

    2.    Marketing of the "Purimuffler" using identification other than those
          shown in this Executive Order or the original submittal, or
          marketing of the    "Purimuffler"   for application other than the one
          listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior
          approval is obtained from the ARB.  Exemption of this product shall
          not be construed as an exemption to sell, offer for sale, or
          advertise any components of the "Purimuffler" as individual devices.

    3.    Any oral or written references to this Executive Order or its
          content by Engine Control Systems Ltd., its principals, agents,
          employees,   distributors,   dealers,   or other   representatives   must
          include the disclaimer that the Executive Order or the exemption it
          provides is not an endorsement or approval of any emissions
          reduction claims for the "Purimuffler" and is only a finding that
          the "Purimuffler"   is exempt from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code
          Section 27156.

    4.    Upon installation, the Purimuffler carries a warranty for 100,000
          miles provided that it is installed in accordance with the
          installation instructions provided by Engine Control Systems Ltd.

"PURIMUFFLER"                                   (Page 2 of 2)

THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A CERTIFICATION, ACCREDITATION,
APPROVAL, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OR ENDORSEMENT BY THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD OF ANY
CLAIMS OF THE APPLICANT CONCERNING ANTI—POLLUTION BENEFITS OR ANY ALLEGED
BENEFITS OF THE "PURIMUFFLER".

Violation of any of the above conditions shall be grounds for revocation of
this order.     The order may be revoked only after ten day written notice of
intention to revoke it, during which period the holder of the 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 order may not be revoked until a determination is made, after the hearing,
that grounds for revocation exist.
