State of California AIR RESQURCES BOARD February 26, 1979 Evaluation of the John and Associates L.T.D. "Reactor" Valve for Compliance with the Requirments of Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code Introduction John and Associates L.T.D. of 3921 E. La Palma "N", Anaheim, California, 92807, has submitted an application requesting an exemption for their "Reactor" vaive from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the California Yehicle Code for the 1979 and older model year vehicles. (Exhibit A). Section 27156 of the vehicle code prohibits the advertisement, sale and installation of any device or mechanism which reduces the effectiveness of the motor vehicle emission control system. The Air Resources Board (ARB) staff has previously evaluated a similar device (Staff Reports dated April 11, 1974 and August 2, 1974) and found the device had no adverse effects on the emission control system. Executive Orders D—28 dated April 19, 1974 and D—28—1 dated August 13, 1974 were issued to B. C. and L. Industries for 1974 and older model year vehicles with engines greater than 140 CID. These devices are known as the "BC & L Air Bleed Valve" and the "Jet Blast". (Appendix I)

II. System Description and Function The "Reactor" valve is a two stage cylinder. The upper section consists of the "BC & L Air Bleed Valve" also known as the "Jet Blast" and the lower section takes fuel from the fuel pump and feeds it to the carburetor. It is claimed that the cylinder acts as a heat exchanger transfering heat from the blowby gas in the upper cylinder to the cooler fuel in the lower one. (Exhibit B) III. System Evaluation The staff had some questions concerning the possible leakage of fuel and the securing of the "Reactor" vaive so that it will not ride free. In reply the applicant submitted a clamp which will be used to fasten the "Reactor" to the side of the air cleaner. In addition the applicant changed the nozzles so that the rubber hoses would not be cut by the tightened clamps holding the hoses to the nozzles. The two sections of the cylinder are threaded and an "0" ring is inserted between them. The sections are so tightened at the factory that the customer cannot separate them. The staff feels that these precautions may be adequate.

The applicant also submitted emission data derived from tests performed at the Olson Laboratories. The data from these tests showed no adverse effects on emissions confirming the previous data discussed in the attached staff reports. However, the ARB laboratory performed bench tests on the device and these showed that the flow was not within acceptable limits. The applicant then changed the spring and added a filter. The tests were repeated and this time the flows were within acceptable limits. (Exhibit C) IV. Manufacturer‘s Claims The applicant submitted the following claims: (Exhibit D) 1. Up to 20% increase in gas mileage 2 Added horsepower 3. Cleaner spark plugs 4 Less engine wear The applicant did not submit any data to support these claims and, therefore, the staff was of the opinion that these claims may not be valid. The applicant agreed to revisechis claims and submitted Exhibit E.

Conclusions and Recommendations The staff is of the opinion that the installation of this device would not effect the performance of the conventional emission control system and, therefore, recommends that the "Reactor" valve be granted an exemption from the prohibitions of Yehicle Code Section 27156 for 1979 and older model vehicles except for the following: 1. Vehicles with engines under 140 CID Three—way catalyst with feed back system n Fuel Injection Systems Go + Variable Venturi Carburetor Systems 4> . 5. Chrysler Lean Burn Engines The staff therefore recommends adoption of Executive Order D—88.

WHAT THE REACTOR IS ALL ABOUT BETTER GAS MILEAGE * BETTER PERFORMANCE * MORE HORSEPOWER WITH LESS GAS * QUICKER ACCELERATION * ALL OF THIS EQUALS REDUCED MAINTENANCE AND OPERATING COST TO YOU. The REACTOR is a scientifically engineered, precision requlator, that automiatically induces cool, fresh air into the induction system of your automobile engine, producing a more efficient combustible fuel air mixture. The lower half of the valve is a heat exchanger using cool gasoline to cool the upper half and at the same time heating the gasoline and expanding it for better fuel econonmy. This automatically controlled vailve (controlled and operated by vacuum) opens only when the fuel air mixture is rich. Opening only sufficiently to give the proper fuel air ratio. There is no way that the REACTOR can cause a lean mixture. This vailve will only meter air to a rich mixture. WHY YOUR AUTO NEEDS A REACTOR Engines normally burn only 50 to 60% of the gasoline injected into them. All engines extracts chemical energy from the fuel by burning the fuel. Burning is defined as rapid oxidation or recombination with oxygen. Burning therefore requires suf— ficient oxygen. Gasoline engines with their inefficient metering system seldom meters an adequate supply of oxygen with the fuel. As a result, when the mixture is brought up to it‘s flash point, sometimes there is very little oxygen present for the fuel molecules to combine with, thus the fuel can not burn and release its energy, it only chars and turns to carbon.
