EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) evaluation of the Polarion-X device under Section 511 of the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act
This document announces the conclusions of the EPA evaluation of the POLARION-X device under the provisions of Section 511 of the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act. The evaluation of the POLARION-X device was conducted upon receiving an application from the marketer of the device. The POLARION-X is installed in the fuel line between the pump and the carburetor. It incorporates two permanent magnets which subject the fuel to a magnetic field. This device is claimed to reduce emissions, to improve fuel economy and performance, to provide more complete combustion, to eliminate engine carbon buildup and dieseling, and to reduce the octane requirements of the engine. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fully considered all of the information submitted by the applicant. The overall conclusion was that for the POLARION-X there is no reason to expect that the device will improve either the emissions or fuel economy of a typical motor vehicle in proper operating conditions.
