[DML] Re: Engine swaps in violation of EPA law?

["Lynn Metz" <metzlynn@xxxx>]

Don't get confused about the EPA. There is USEPA and then there is each 
state's EPA. Just because you are following "EPA" rules in VA, does not 
mean that those same rules apply in other states. Check to see if the rules 
you are speaking of are USEPA or VAEPA.
