State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD November 21, 1975 Staff Report Evaluation of Palmco Engineering Co. "Monitor Gasaver" for Exemption from the Prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Motor Yehicle Code Introduction r—i Palmce Engineering Co., has submitted an application requesting en exemption from Section 27156 of the California Motor Vehicle Code for the "Monitor Gasaver" (Reference — Exhibit A)}. Vehicle Code Section 27156 prohibits the installation of any device or mechanism which reduces the effectiveness of the required emission control systems. This vehicle code section also authorizes the Air Resources Board to exempt devices from this prohibition if a finding shows the device will not adversely affect the performance of the emission control system. The applicant is requesting the exemption be granted for all 1975 and older model—year vehicles. 11. System Description This device consists of a plastic unit installed in the fuel Hine between the—carburetor and the fuel pump. The unit contains two dia— phragms and calibrated back up springs to absorb the pulsattons created in the fuel by the fuel pump.

III. System Function According to the applicant, the device improves the life of the carburetor valve'seat and float and maintains an even float level at all times. In addition the unit will indicate fuel pump pressure. \ (See Exhibit B). IV. System Evaluation The staff is of the opinion that since there is no restriction to the flow of fuel, there is no affect on emissions. The pressure in this section of the lTine is approximately 8 1bs./in2; The diaphragm burst pressure specification is 3000 Tbs/inz. {Exhibit C). There appears to be no safety hazard from the bursting of the diaphragm. The unjt ° appears leak proof and 5 nuts and bolits are used to clamp the unit and diaphragms together. Conclusion and Recommendatio Based on an engineering evaluation, the device does not appear to have any effect on emissions and there is no basis upon which to deny exemption. The staff, therefore, reconmends that Palmco Engineering Co. be granted an exemption from the prohibitions of Yehicle Code Section 27156 for the "Monitor Gasaver" for all 1975 and older model year vehicles using gasoline carburetors.
