Denatured alcohol, smog/aircare test
Hey guys, having some smog / aircare test hassles even with fairly recent tune-up a new Magnaflow cat. Seen a few old posts about running a bit of denatured alcohol just before the test.
Does this help bring down hydrocarbons and any adverse effects on the car afterwards?
Thanks in advance !
After a good thrash, with mohawk ethanol based gas, drive test only;
Hydrocarbons HC limit, .50, 1.20 score, fail
Carbon Monoxide, 9.32 limit, 3.66 score, pass
Oxides of nitrogen, 1.24 limit, 1.12 score, pass
