This Executive Order covers minivans equipped with Stow ‘n Go seats (also called "Fold—In—Floor" seats). This exemption is based on previous testing Braun conducted with similar Replacement Fuel Tank Assemblies. Testing showed that Braun‘s Replacement Fuel Tank Assembly does not have any adverse effect on the vehicle‘s evaporative or refueling emissions or its OBD II System.

This Executive Order shall not apply to any device 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 is valid provided that installation instructions for the Replacement Fuel Tank Assembly 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 Tank Assembly, as exempt by the Air Resources Board, which adversely affect the performance of the vehicte‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order.

92— Marketing of the Replacement Fuel Tank Assembly using an identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or for an application other than those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the Air Resources Board. In addition to the foregoing, the Air Resources Board 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 Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222 et seq. This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of the Replacement Fuel Tank Assembly may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. No claim of any kind, such as "Approved by the Air Resources Board," may be made with respect to the action taken herein in any advertising or other oral or written communication. THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A CERTIFICATION, ACCREDITATION, APPROVAL, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF ENDORSEMENT BY THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD OF CLAIMS OF THE APPLICANT CONCERNING ANTI—POLLUTION BENEFITS OR ANY ALLEGED BENEFITS OF THE BRAUN CORPORATION‘S REPLACEMENT FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY. Violation of any of the above conditions shall be grounds for revocation of this Executive Order. The Executive Order may be revoked only after a ten—day written notice of intention to revoke the Executive Order, in which period the holder of the Executive 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.
