As part of an evaluation of vehicular emission control devices, a test program was initiated to determine the emission reduction potential of the 'FUMCELL'. The device was installed in the PCV line of a 1970 Chevrolet Impala and a 1970 Plymouth Valiant. The following emission tests were performed: Impala - 8 baseline 1972 Federal Test Procedure (FTP), 3 Fumcell-equipped 1972 FTP; Valiant - 1 baseline 1968 FTP with Constant Volume Sampling (CVS), 1 Fumcell-equipped 1968 FTP with CVS, 6 baseline 1972 FTP, 4 Fumcell-equipped 1972 FTP. In addition to these tests, fuel consumption was measured, and flow versus vacuum tests were conducted. The following conclusions were drawn from test results: (1) hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions from both vehicles were substantially reduced; (2) fuel consumption effects ranged from a +9 to -7 percent.
