Good deal, Neil. Glad to hear you're good with the State. It sounds like BC has at least a clue, when it comes to testing for emmissions. Run the rig and measure what comes out rather than going by all kinds of CARB rules. After all, isn't the whole reason we have vehicle emmissions standards to "limit vehicular air pollution"? I find it pretty stupid of our governments that they get so 'sidetracked' when it comes to vehicle laws. When I see a couple driving around in a 50' diesel pusher motorhome towing a Humvee...I have to wonder if that puts less crap into the air than say an "Illegal" 2.5L Subie powered vanagon.. Or, here's one...My pal needed a new vehicle recently. He found through his accountant that if he bought one that weighed over 6000lbs, he could get a $25k tax break. So rather than buying the small station wagon/SUV..honda or something he was looking at(at almost 33mpg) he ended up shopping by weight! Got himself a GMC behomoth SUV at 6019lbs..Dealer price of $27...minus the tax rebate of $25k that was just $2 grand from his own pocket...Government subsidized air pollution....That really helps with the air quality, eh? He got about 18mpg on the highway on it's maiden voyage.. Don Hanson
