"FUEL SYSTEM, LWB 10" HDPE", PART NO. N—24004 20—GALLON HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE REPLACEMENT FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY Pursuant to the authority vested in the Air Resources Board (ARB) by Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code; and Pursuant to the authority vested in the undersigned by Sections 39515 and 39516 of the Health and Safety Code and Executive Order G—45—9; IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That installation of the "FUEL SYSTEM, LWB 10" HDPE" replacement fuel tank assembly, part no. N—24004, manufactured by Independent Mobility Systems, Inc. (IMS) of 4100 W. Piedras Street, Farmington, New Mexico 87401, has been found not to reduce the effectiveness of the applicable vehicle pollution control system, and therefore, the replacement fuel tank assembly is exempt from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code for installation on 1996—1998 model—year 3.0/3.3/3.8 liter Chrysler Corporation minivans, originally equipped with 20—gallon high density polyethylene fuel tanks. This exemption is based on fuel tank temperature profile and on—board diagnostic system testing conducted by IMS on a 1998 model—year 3.8 liter Chrysler Town & Country minivan. Through engineering evaluation of the fuel tank temperature data, it was concluded that IMS‘s replacement fuel tank assembly will not adversely affect the evaporative emissions of the Chrysler minivans listed above. In addition, IMS showed that the replacement fuel tank assembly does not affect the operation of the vehicle‘s on—board diagnostic leak detection system. Exemption of the replacement fuel tank assembly shall not be construed as an exemption to sell, offer for sale, or advertise any components of the replacement fuel tank assembly as individual devices. This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for the replacement fuel tank assembly not recommend tuning the vehicles to specifications different from those submitted by the vehicle manufacturer.
