ARRRG! Diesel emissions testing in RI!

[rwthomas1]

I got a letter today stating that next time around my diesels will have to go through a tailpipe sniffer, chassis dyno type of emissions test! From no test at all to this garbage. Anyone know about this type of testing? Since my 300D no longer has its EGR or ARV valve, will it pass? I still have the parts and could concievably reinstall them.... I am hoping that putting B100 in the tank for the test will allow it to pass. Anyone know anything about doing this? I am thinking of selling the damned thing and this might just push me over the edge. I am less worried about the Jetta passing, its all stock and the pump/injectors are recent. The letter said all "light diesel" vehicles 8500lbs and under. The work truck is 8600lb GVW so I got lucky there. If I get rid of the 300D I will replace it with a 3/4ton diesel Suburban. GVW over 8500 so no BS. RT
