Big bad (EPA) are afraid of wolves.

EPA and my own research with several meetings and many other discussions, CNG (compressed natural gas) transformation industries, I people are some of the EPA, the big bad wolf to them what has come to no conclusion.

Says the saying goes, "the 10 cent dime a dozen". Most things are always many opinions, especially in new technology and things new ways. "A grain of salt"; Of all opinion learned to take every opinion, except of course; it keeps me a little more weight.

Over the years, I personally 5 cylinder Audi 5000 Turbo charging 21 window VW micro bus from more than 50 car owns. Missing all the time about whether authorized EPA to these cars had been concern. EPA doesn't take anything but some emissions testing and safety inspection. My recovery from car car auto repair for over 30 years of tunes from nothing but ????? thousands in three different States. The last year (that was heard of CNG 2008) and CNG transformed it wasn't until. Talking about Nin EPA hoops people I researched this topic became concerned about the need to jump through was "legal" CNG conversion whirl EPA certification really have occurred.

Search the Internet for my forum and the EPA to all CNG conversion must be approved or to drive non-EPA CNG conversion was law, and on the streets as a heard blanket statement could start convert "or can own a 'non--EPA' CNG car will, EPA, $ 1000 dollars of fine". Kept the car for fear of the EPA's own conversion from CNG for the past few years this type of rhetoric of hundreds not thousands of people to know. In my mind, began to sense of incongruity. Why it was coming under the watch of CNG vehicles and CNG conversion vehicles than other groups of?

Began to question these EPA certificate statement source. Do you this it section came from these statements? They are self appointed someone to me was it really any authority is bullying and safety monitor? I dug deeper patterns, these are usually sold only "EPA" banner or development of "authorizing the EPA" CNG vehicle or system was born. When asked about the EPA certification of CNG vehicles, EPA is unusually silent or subject ambiguity was. Noticed that in the legal field, with background about a broad blanket statements about the EPA certification was something not right.

Next year is one of EPA's code and website for search survey, indicating that "all CNG conversion must be EPA certified" rule. It was nowhere to be. It does not exist.
People are looking for a station authorized EPA began to spread these false EPA authentication requirements for the installation and EPA approved technician began. It was none to be found. They don't exist. After learning the number of meetings, EPA, main purpose of the inspection division of the EPA vehicle ", life 100000 miles (10)," vehicle OEM (original equipment manufacturing) prove to meet emissions standards for cars.

CNG conversion systems and inefficient for was given duty CNG conversion for the EPA "proof" in the late 90's. New steps that test OEM vehicles, so they employed a standard such as CNG conversion. EPA can no longer be, never proves useful life deterioration factors other than a new car, car.

What is EPA certified? It shows that clean up to run for the specified time is a series of test vehicles is. It guarantees or coat that just thinking about curatorship, a series of tests is complete. You can make a note that beyond the time while we are talking about EPA certified CNG conversion EPA certified lifetime of the vehicle is about to expire. Just below, keep all CNG cars like other vehicles, again has to be.

Since, to build their systems. CNG systems maker after tough test procedures. These companies uses input from a sensor of electronic control units, car. Most of the new-generation CNG Kit is a separate map (manifold absolute pressure) sensor, coolant temperature sensors, gas pressure and temperature sensors. I say today, "certified" CNG system in most outperform these new generation systems venture. When comparing conversion system components "certified" and non-accredited people actually tell the difference is difficult gone just no slip.

To summarize.

CNG conversion EPA approval is required. Individual companies, you can choose the certification system by EPA for CNG. EPA new CNG can guarantee the life of the vehicle. All EPA certification that the vehicle lifetime after expiration.

So the big bad wolf of EPA's still afraid?. I'm not and hopefully, one is not. Asked why Marty r. question and answer portion, from EPA's recent meeting with EPA certification sticker car "life" after removed. Marty replied recertification one car actually is. What asked fine see illegal CNG conversion and was EPA's Enforcement Division charged with the answer "no, not one" did.

EPA in this industry, and there is room for both the non-official translation. Rather than having it threat to intimidate people. We must ensure our facts we should all look at CNG industry in. Installer training through EPA certification process the manufacturer may choose or through an independent testing laboratory safety certified CNG components are safe and clean install to guarantee that must decide whether decisions of their own. We are all a alternative to gasoline is safe and clean, but we also facts about actively just what is needed to ensure safe clean installation that performs validation.
