Another year, emissions passed again

Post by rallybug » Wed Apr 11, 2018 4:04 pm

So, after my bus sitting for 11 months with just the occasional start and one run of around 6 miles round trip, it came time for emissions again (no safety tests in Utah since 1/1/18).

Passed again (the tester said no to visible smoke while waving his hand in front of his face :compress: ):

Here's 2017s for comparison:

Not used for a year, and those are the results - not too bad, eh :cheers:

Visible smoke (not all the time, though) because he hasn't been used, I guess - maybe a good run will get rid of that for me?

Wow congrats! And not a lot of change from last test either! :)

Dang, that is running clean. Smoke, or "condensate"? Water vapor disappears after the exhaust is above about 220*
