WHEREAS, Global Fuel Systems, Inc. of 11450 Elks Circle, Unit A, Rancho Cordova, California 95742, has applied to the ARB for exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38391 for the TurboFuelTech manufactured for use on 2003 model year and older Class 8 diesel trucks. 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 TurboFuelTech is an add—on device installed in the fuel line in a motor vehicle. 2. The TurboFuelTech is intended for use with a required motor vehicle pollution _ control system. 3. The TurboFuelTech by being installed around the fuel line alters the original design of a motor vehicle pollution control system. 4. The TurboFuelTech 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 TurboFuelTech does not reduce the effectiveness of any required motor vehicle pollution control system. 6. The ARB, in exercising technical judgement, is aware of no basis on which the TurboFuelTech will provide either a decrease in emission or an increase in fuel economy.

«2. The ARB has not determined what effect the use of the TurboFuelTech may have on any warranty; either expressed or implied, by the manufacturer of a motor vehicle on which the device is installed. The TurboFuelTech is not a certified motor vehicle pollution control device pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 43644.
