| Abstract |
In November, 1981, the EPA received a request from the U.S. Postal Service to evaluate the claims for the Turbo-Carb. EPA agreed to conduct an evaluation of this device under Section 511 of the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act. The Turbo-Carb is a one-inch thick carburetor adapter plate which inserts a mesh screen and swirl devices between the carburetor and intake manifold. The device is claimed to improve the preparation of the fuel/air mixture and thereby improve fuel economy and performance. |
