[Vwdiesel] negative aspects of burning water

[David Cook]

Heh, I got a good deal on some exhaust components for
my '78 VW bus because of this.

For a little background, the exhaust from 72-74 buses
is much simpler and bolts right onto the later
engines.  This is a very desirable mod for the later
buses because of the simplicity.

Well, this kid had a late model bus and he had done
this mod to it.  Then he moved from (I think) Ohio to
California.  

He couldn't get it registered in Cali because it
didn't have the same exhaust.  Even though it had
cleaner emissions than required.

If a city or state wants to have emissions testing,
fine.  I have no problem with trying to keep pollution
at bay.  However, I cannot for the life of me
understand why there isn't simply some sort of number
that the tailpipe must meet and leave it it that.  Who
gives a crap what modifications are on/in the engine
or it's exhaust if it is meeting the numbers?  (And I
know some states are this way, but definitely not
all.)

Pure bureaucracy and bullcrap.  I'm glad I live in
Kansas where the bureaucracy and bullcrap (well, at
least the figurative bullcrap, there are a lot of
cows...) is a lot less than either of the coasts! 
LOL!
