CLEAN ENGINE STANDARDS

1. Engine is certified to a diesel particulate emission standard of 0.01 grams/brake horse power hour (g/bhp-hr). If not, then:

2. Engine is certified to a diesel particulate emission standard of 0.1 g/bhp-hr, and is equipped the most effective diesel particulate control device, or uses an alternative fuel certified to reduce diesel particulates; if not, then:3. Engine uses an alternative fuel; if not, then;
