Subject | Comment re: strategies to control emissions from diesels |
Comment | I am opposed to additional inspection requirements or the imposition of retrofit devices on my stock(unmodified in any way)diesel engine. A new verification program equates to additional and unnecessary costs to me to prove I am compliant with the law. CARB's mandate would be better-served by stricter controls (read: prohibitions)on the sale of aftermarket performance equipment for diesels such as tuners or auxillary programmers that change stock powertrain operating parameters. Imposition of new, stricter emissions requirements should not be retroactive. Currently registered vehicles are not the problem; attrition alone negates any long-term adverse environmental effect from privately owned pick-up trucks (including one-ton models)and diesel powered cars. "reburning" of used crankcase oil in diesels should be prohibited as well. Some commercial trucking entities supplement their fuel with used engine oil. Some engine manufacturers publish guidelines relating to recommended amounts of oil that can be intoduced to the fuel supply. |
