Fuel Preporator WHEREAS, Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38391, and Title 13, California Code of Regulations (hereafter "CCR") Section 2222(e), 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, Fuel Preporator International, Inc. of 5400 Business 50 West, Suite 8, Jefferson City, Missouri, 65109, has applied to the ARB for exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38391 for the Fuel Preporator for installation on 2003 and older model year diesel powered vehicles. 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—02—003, the ARB finds that: 1. The Fuel Preporator is an add—on device installed into the fuel line in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine. 2. The Fuel Preporator is intended for use with a required motor vehicle or engine pollution control system. 3. The Fuel Preporator by being installed into the fuel line alters the original design of a motor vehicle pollution control system. 4. The Fuel Preporator is a device subject to the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 and an add—on part as defined by Title 13, CCR Section 1900 (b)(1). 5. The Fuel Preporator does not reduce the effectiveness of any required motor vehicle or engine pollution control system.

The ARB, in exercise of technical judgement, is aware of no basis on which the Fuel Preporator will provide either a decrease in emissions or an increase in fuel economy. The ARB has not determined what effect the use of the Fuel Preporator may have on any warranty; either expressed or implied, by the manufacturer of a motor vehicle on which the device is installed. The Fuel Preporator is not a certified motor vehicle pollution control device pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 43644. The ARB by granting an exemption to Fue!l Preporator International, Inc. for the Fuel Preporator does not recommend or endorse in any way the Fuel Preporator for emissions reduction, fuel economy, or any other purpose.

Any changes to the Fuel Preporator or any of its components, or other factors addressed in this order must be evaluated and approved by the ARB prior to marketing in California. Marketing of the Fuel Preporator without a permanent label showing the Executive Order number or marketing of the Fuel Preporator for an application other than that stated 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 Fuel Preporator as an individual device. Any oral or written references to this Executive Order or its content by Fuel Preporator International, Inc., 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 Fuel Preporator and is only a finding that the Fuel Preporator is exempt from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156. This exemption shall not apply to any device, apparatus, or mechanism advertised, offered for sale, sold with, or installed on a motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an ultimate purchaser.
