And if you properly do an OBD II conversion the check engine light will let you know when you have evaporative emissions leak.

I don't understand why people continue to propagate that myth. The process is pretty simple... put the engine in your Vanagon... take your Vanagon to the referee... if the referee determines that you have installed the engine correctly and kept the emission controls of the new engine, you get an approval. No politics... no greed... just the typical bureaucracy. Cheers, Jeff

That shows that fighting the smog does work. It does not justify the insanity of not allowing a cleaner engine into a Vanagon (or anything), that is politics (& greed maybe?). Rob becida@comcast.net
