I think someone ran a TDI-powered 911 in LeMons - maybe it's the same guy.

All rust has been sand blasted and repaired with fiberglass and bondo with the best bonding primer. All rust taken care of and car has fresh white paint with red racing stripes.the only thing the car needs is causmetic things the parking brake is inop needs 4 wheel alignment passenger window inop and car leaks water in rain and needs radio. The car was in an accident 10 years ago and repaired on left front fender to it and went through salvage inspection and all documents are here of nose clip bondo and paint supplies and fender.

Well that sounds like a quality vehicle. Only $23K you say.

The two main gases tested in Az. for emission produced by gasoline engines are Hydrocarbons, basically unburned fuel, and Carbon monoxide, partially burnt fuel.
Carbon monoxide is a tasteless, colorless, odor less gas that is deadly and not produced by Diesel engines.
Diesel Engines are only tested for 'Opacity' , particulates in the air or rather how dense the smoke is. Cancer causing, lung irritants.
Because of the Carbon monoxide produce by gasoline engines, they are not allowed in any way shape or form in underground mines while Diesel engines are.
MSHA - Information on Diesel Regulations, Updates to Diesel Regulations, EPA Approved Additives: Homepage
There is no US government regulations for underground gas engines for a reason.
Gasoline engines produce the toxic gases, not
Diesel, they are just not easily seen.
