It is very concerning that ARB regulations may have been made and
based on reports by false science or out right liars. I do not own
any potable diesel engines. But bring to question that all these
regulations for are money generating or political bias  reasons.
Rather then based on true facts and pollution reduction.

I purpose that no regulations can bemade that will add any cost
burden to any person or company with current engines. 
Regulations can only apply to  future engines made, purchased or
imported after 2010. 

Thank You.

Credential Flap To Delay CARB Diesel Regs?
December 4, 2009

Assorted reports from California say that a member of the state’s
Air Resources Board is calling for a suspension of new diesel
emissions rules for trucks and buses because of falsified
credentials of a researcher that collected information for the
diesel standard. 

Reportedly, the researcher, Hien Tran, compiled research on health
effects of diesel particulate matter, data regulators considered
when adopting the clean air standards a year ago. 

Now information has surfaced that Tran falsified his credentials,
claiming to have a doctorate from the University of California,
Berkeley, but later admitting his degree was from Thornhill
University, an online, unaccredited institution. He was demoted and
suspended for 60 days without pay. 

CARB member John Telles is calling for the rules to be set aside
until the report is reviewed by independent researchers.
