I think I am finally getting the attention of some people who have the authority to give us an unvarnished response using action verbs (as much as can be expected) with regard to what we can and cannot do legally with regard to CNG conversions, particularly in the case of pre-OBDII cars and light trucks. What I need now is a very clear list of specific, on-topic, technical questions that all of us want answered.
Here are mine for an example:
The EPA regulations are very unclear about what parts can be used on a pre-ODBII conversion. Are we still constrained to use only conversion kits that were previously approved, or is it permissible to use another kit if the result delivers the emissions signature required of the vehicle at the time of its manufacture?
How many older vehicles can a given garage convert per year without being considered a small volume manufacturer?
You have until 5 August 2008 to get your questions into this thread. Please be as specific as possible. I am doing this through my congressman's office--they are lawyers who will be talking to government bureaucrats, so we need to keep the language precise. Anyone who can quote chapter and verse from the regs would be greatly appreciated for doing so.
Thanks,
Andy-Paul
