Emissions Testing in BC

“Funny thing happened to me today. Where I live in British Columbia, we have to do emission testing every year for vehicles older than 92 and every 2 years for vehicles 92 and newer. I took my 92 Carry with the 660cc in. It was placed on a dyno while the emission was tested. The technician did not understand that power only comes at high RPM on these vehicles and he could not get it to get enough power to follow the curve on the screen. He would switch gear way too early. Also, they kept repositioning the pipe over the exhaust because they could not get a sample that was large enough.

They skipped the dyno and did an idle test instead. The maximum allowable hydrocarbon was 242 parts per million and mine had 22. The maximum allowable carbon monoxide was 1.98% and mine was 0.00%. Could have condensed the exhaust from 10 trucks and still pass. Gotta love those little trucks.”
