Bend over
because the folks running the testing facility are morons when it comes
to diesel. Run some BioD for a tank or two to reduce emissions, and
toss some purge or stuff in as well.
Then, when you get it tested, make sure they calibrate the computer and
probe. Sometimes they get 90% followed by 2% when you go back through
five minutes later

Good to know. What about emissions? How strict are they on
"tampering?" Would a missing ALDA cap be a disqualification?
From what I recall, emissions testing on diesels varies by county.
The
county that seattle is in (King?) required testing from what I
recall, but they were more interested in opacity than anything. I'd
wager that a missing
cap isn't something that will cause problems provided they don't have
a
reason to go hunting. My 190D, being a 2.2 five speed, doesn't have
an ALDA,
and was registered in a county that did not do emissions testing on
diesels.
You should probably tell the list where you are planning on moving so
that
someone from that county can give you more specific details.
It'd be King county.
