Brunhilde (79 300TD) got reported to the Texas environazis by some
citizen environazi for "excessive smoke." They sent me a letter telling
me to do something, I forget what. I called them up and said, yeah, she
smokes, she's an old diesel, and the guy just laughed and said OK.

Careful there Andrew.
Some of these Prius driving tree huggers may call in your plate number
when you drive by in your old MB diesel and you will have a visit from
the enforcement folks.

Anybody heard of or seen this abomination in action?
"The New Jersey Senate voted yesterday to ban a modification to diesel
engines that critics said has been used to intimidate drivers of
eco-friendly cars.
With the modification, cars with diesel engines are retrofitted with
smokestacks that can release a plume of black smoke on demand, in a
practice called "coal rolling."
Environmentalists said the practice has become a sort of protest to
President Obama's Clean Power Plan and that diesel drivers will often
"coal
roll" by drivers of alternative-fuel vehicles, using the soot to block
their views.
The bill would ban both the engine modifications and the practice of
smoke
blowing (Steve Strunsky, Newark*Star-Ledger*
