If you are asking about taking the diesel to the gasoline emissions test, I imagine that it might fail because of high NOx readings. And biodiesel doesn't help with this. CO and HC are probabably lower for the diesel than most gas cars. It would be interesting to know, though, as I don't think I've ever heard anything on it.
Ironically, by prohibiting new diesels, they are probably making alot of people import old 80's mercedes diesels, or large diesel trucks, which pollute MORE than a nice new diesel car would...

I am thinking of buying a Jeep Liberty diesel. I live in Massachusetts and they do not sell diesel cars any more because of the high standard of emissions. I would have to go out of state to buy this Jeep.
These vehicles must pass an emissions test every other year. Mind you, you can buy a full size pickup with a diesel and they have a different standard to use.
Would the use of 20% biodiesel let this vehicle pass this California emissions test? What are these people looking at that makes it fail emissions. What can I do about it?
