I spoke to Peter Tuesday after returning from 3 months in Scandinavia, and he told me he had just gotten word that day that his TiiCo Test Vehicle had passed the CARB California emissions test with flying colors. [I would have sent this message sooner, but my luggage with laptop was delayed in transit.[ He is trying to get CARB to speed up issuance of the Certification notice, which usually takes a month. He thinks they will do this because it turned out they erroneously made him jump through many more hurdles than he should have. They were forcing him to meet the automobile requirements, when the Vanagon only needed to meet the light truck requirements. His test results were incredibly clean compared to the requirements for light trucks. I've been holding off actually installing my TiiCo, but now I'm going to press ahead. >> Rolf, I'd wait until I see the CARB EO. It was my understanding that the CARB's problems had to do with the engine and not the installation. Something about the engine never having been certified for US consumption. If they approve it all the way, then great. I'd wait. BenT San Francisco |
