[DML] DMC Emissions

[Lee <lseiler@xxxx>]

Hi every one,


Well it's registration time again for my D hear in California Home of the
Emission
control freaks!!!

While this subject is not dealt with much hear on the list, I thought that
as I just went threw the smog testing it would be worth a comment or two.

The standards hear in California are very high requiring that auto
emissions be below certain limits. For instance the following levels are
the maximum allowed:

2500rpm:	
HC PPM	0150
CO%	1.50
CO2	21.50
02	9.90

When I took my D in for the test, it has run for a year with out an
official tune up, and had just air cleaner and oil changes, no plug gapping
or replacements, no point cleaning - nothing. It passed easily with the
following results.	


2680rpm
HC PPM	0016
CO%	.15
CO2	11.90
02	3.90

IDLE@0868rpm	02	1.30

The whole point is our D's are one of the cleanest running cars on the road
even after 18 years. Kinda of nice to know that at least here in California
the smog monsters are not a
source of grief to us D persons.
