USED DPF FOR SALE CODE
These filters are considered aftermarket parts, and they are verified to reduce emissions. A manufacturer designs and tests a device to reduce emissions and submits the design and testing information for approval. CARB issues an EO after a product is verified to reduce the stated emissions. These EOs direct the operating conditions, type of engine, and the way the product can be used. You as a consumer should understand the requirement of the EO because operating outside of the requirements void the anti-tampering waiver leading to non-compliance with California's anti-tampering law, Vehicle Code Section 27156. Diesel Emission Control Strategy (DECS) VerificationĬARB introduced the diesel emission control strategy as a way to reduce emissions from existing older in-use diesel engines. Many in-use regulations require the addition of these strategies to reduce emissions from existing in-use engines. Common names for these strategies are retrofit filters, soot filters, diesel particulate filters, DPFs, and many others. Each program EO is uniquely identified for the program it is issued. What is an Executive Order or EO?Įxecutive Orders (EOs) are used where regulations require Executive Officer approval. CARB conducts a wide range of activities that require Executive Officer approval, therefore EOs are issued for multiple programs. A list of programs that utilize EO approvals is available. The fact that a particular engine or engine part is approved by CARB and has an EO does not necessarily mean that the engine or part is legal for all uses.
USED DPF FOR SALE CRACKED
If your PM filter core is cracked or missing, it can cost you thousands of dollars and violate California's anti-tampering law, Vehicle Code Section 27156 (VC 27156). When purchasing a "CARB compliant" used vehicle, be sure to confirm the OEM filter (2007 or newer engines) or retrofit filter is present and working correctly. To ensure the vehicle meets CARB requirements, have it inspected before purchase by the engine dealership or authorized installer (if it is a retrofit).

What to look for when buying a used vehicle Each EO provides an approval for a specific program, not all programs. For example, a device that has approval as an aftermarket part only has a waiver from California's anti-tampering law, Vehicle Code Section 27156.Īftermarket parts do not qualify for credit toward compliance with CARB's in-use diesel engine regulations. Below is an explanation of CARB's approval process through the issuance of an Executive Order or EO and examples of EOs used in specific programs that are important to the heavy duty diesel in-use regulation compliance. Just because a device has a CARB Executive Order (EO) does not mean it is approved for all uses. CARB mobile source program issues EOs to manufacturers to allow for the sale, use or installation of engines, engine parts, or equipment to clean-up engine emissions. If your truck engine does not have a diesel particulate filter (2006 MY or older engine), you can only retrofit the engine with a device that has been verified to reduce emissions by CARB to comply with the in-use regulations (see Diesel Emission Control Strategy (DECS) below). Be aware that some companies are advertising and attempting to sell devices or used DPFs that may not qualify for credit toward compliance with CARB in-use diesel engine regulations. Used DPFs cannot be sold for re-installation on another vehicle.
USED DPF FOR SALE VERIFICATION
Filter cores cost several thousands of dollars and are required to meet the engine or verification approval to be legal to operate. Truck engines are required to have diesel particulate filters (DPFs) to comply with California's fleet rules. If you are looking to purchase a truck that is advertised as "compliant," make sure that a filter is present and not broken.
