| Abstract |
Mr. Cliff Lamkin contacted the Environmental Protection Agency's Emission Control Technology Division concerning an invention of his which allegedly reduced exhaust emissions and improved fuel economy. He supplied data from an independent laboratory on tests conducted with and without the device installed on a motor vehicle which indicated a marked reduction in emissions with the device installed. He was invited to the Motor Vehicle Emission Laboratory for confirmatory testing during the week of April 22, 1974. The Lamkin device did not improve emissions or fuel economy as much as reducing the idle CO did. Mr. Lamkin indicated that he had not tried his device on a newer, leaner-running car. Mr. Lamkin's invention was a modification to the stock carburetor using an unconventional fuel metering system. |
