Federal smog laws GregO'Connor
Don, if you read my first post it says Motor homes are exempt from
the periodic smoke testing programs. Earlier this year I was asked to show a smog cert to the CHP cop for the Wonderlodge during a scheduled onsite terminal inspection (My terminal is our equipment yard where the lodge is parked) I received several corrections on my 92 dumptruck and trailer but no formal correction for the smog cert for the bus during that inspection. During inspections roadside and scheduled review I always just answer the 300 questions best I can. Cops are better versed on laws, plus they walk around with guns. I rather argue with a Judge in a dress (they call it a robe ,but come'on). I called a mobile tester to get the bus smogged after that inspection . It failed. Yesterday I took the bus and our fleet to one other of the some 400 independent testers facility's. there I learned the bus failed due to the engine tag being unreadable, they call this unsmoggable. I asked and paid to have the opacity tested anyway for my review. Unlike the car smog test this Opacity test result is not recorded on the state registration document for the vehicle and updated at every smog review. It is only a certified record of a maintenance task. I think smoke tickets must show up on my motor carrier permit for them to raise the fine with subsequent tickets?????? $600. then $1,800. then 'pull registration' I posted the result to show the diff between the 92 four stroke Cummins and 94 two stroke detroit.when I get the wanderlodge tag affixed I will replace the air filter and re smoke test(I have never changed a/f as the dash gauge never hit red but goes yellow when I push it) .My '92Cummins dump was tested prior year and opacity was over 13% this under one% makes me wonder if the new airfilter I installed prior to the test is seated proper. less than one% seems too good for a 'run hard put up wet/ 350,000 mile dumptruck'???? you don't have to convince me the old rigs should be allowed to operate, I don't wear a dress to work.

Your tester is now going to add Wanderlodges to his list of vehicles worked on, for any who ask in the future. For him, the Private/Commercial aspect is immaterial. > > Don Bradner > 90 PT40 "Blue Thunder" > Posting today by park WiFi from Las Cruces, NM > My location: http://www.bbirdmaps.com/user2.cfm?user=1 > |
