Subject:AARGH! Failed NJ inspection!

Ok, Beatrix passed inspection for everything except for the gas tank cap...
which I just bought from an unnamed list vendor...  Can anyone recommend a
good tank cap that will pass NJ inspection.  I paid $15 for this one, hoping
it wouldn't be a problem since my last bus failed for the same reason and I
had to replace it...  I'm sure the vendor will allow me to exchange it for
another one, or at least credit, but it sure is a PITA to have to send it back
and wait for a new one. I hate driving around with a big red sticker on my
windshield.

On a good note, my emission results are around 1/10th of what the allowable
amounts are!  Granted it's a CA emissions system, but I didn't think it would
do THAT well!

Thanks,
David /NJ
