[SEL] Now Listeroid Emissions Rules (Was Website Ripoff)

[John Culp]

Yes. In 1999, when Mike Montieth was the only guy importing them, he 
faced a lot of hassle with the EPA. They really didn't quite know what 
to do with them, but there was a big agency push to crack down on 
Diesel emissions. They finally agreed to let him bring some in as he 
told them they were primarily for engine collectors, but they said he 
couldn't bring any in after January 1, 2000. Dolly came in a batch that 
arrived shortly before that. Mike got his contacts to hurry up and send 
some certified as made before 1/1/00, which arrived in May 2000 as I 
recall, and they were to be the last. Sometime since, someone got the 
EPA to allow them to come in with a certification that they were for 
stationary use and would not be put in any vehicle for some period of 
time, and apparently that's the current situation.
