State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD August 10, 1978 Staff Report Evaluation of the Ideal Incorporated "Mileage Master" Device in Accordance with Section 2222, Title 13 of the California Administrative Code Introduction Ideal Incorporated, of 14802 Venture Drive, Dallas, Texas 75234 has submitted an application requesting an exemption from the prohibitions of Section 27156.of,the Vehicle Code.for its "Mileage Master" air bleed device for installation on— 1978 and older model year vehicles with naturally aspirated gasoline engines. Vehicles with engine displacements Tess than 140 cubic inches or.fue1 injection are excluded from the exemption. Ideal Incorporated represents the "Mi]eége Master" device as being idenfica1 to the "Jet Blast" devi;e formerly marketed by BC & L Industries, Inc. The "Jet Blast" is exehpt for 1974 and older model year vehicles under CARB E.0. D—28—1. II. System Description and Function The "Mileage Master" is an air bleed designed to meter small amounts of air into an intake manifold under conditions of Tow manifold vacuum. The device con§ists of a spring loaded check valve in an aluminum housing. The housing has a filter covered air inlet and two nipples.

* For most applications, the device is installed by cutting the PCV Tine and inserting the nipples. High manifold vacuum is used to overcome the spring force and close the normally open valve. The valve is allowed to open when intake manifold vacuum drops to less than 6 inches of mercury. III. System Evaluation A. Applicants‘ Data Ideal Incorporated has submitted the results of back—to—back CVS—75 testing performed by W. R. Grace & Co. on a 1978 Lincolin Continental Mark V with a 400 CID engine. The re— sults show that the device did not increase the emissions level over the baseTine test. B. CARB Evaluation A flow test performed by the CARB on the "Jet Blast" in 1974 determined that the device operates in the range of 0 to 6 inches of mercury with a maximum air flow of 4.2 CFM. This air flow rate was considered acceptable for engines with a displacement exceeding 140 CID. IV. ConcTusion and Recommendation It is the opinion of the staff that the "Mileage Master" is essentially idenfica1 to the previously approved "Jet Blast". Therefore, based on the current emissions test and previous air flow testing the staff recommends that Ideal Incdrporated be granted an exemption from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 for the "Mileage Master" air bleed device subject to the exclusions presented in the introduction.
