COMPRESSION-IGNITION ENGINES--Table of Contents

 

                 Subpart G_Special Compliance Provisions

 

Sec.  1039.615  What special provisions apply to engines using 

noncommercial fuels?



    In Sec.  1039.115(e), we generally require that engines meet 

emission standards for any adjustment within the full range of any 

adjustable parameters. For engines that use noncommercial fuels 

significantly different than the specified test fuel of the same type, 

you may ask to use the parameter-adjustment provisions of this section 

instead of those in Sec.  1039.115(e). Engines certified under this 

section must be in a separate engine family.

    (a) If we approve your request, the following provisions apply:

    (1) You must certify the engine using the test fuel specified in 

Sec.  1039.501.

    (2) You may produce the engine without limits or stops that keep the 

engine adjusted within the certified range.

    (3) You must specify in-use adjustments different than the 

adjustable settings appropriate for the specified test fuel, consistent 

with the provisions of paragraph (b)(1) of this section.

    (b) To produce engines under this section, you must do the 

following:

    (1) Specify in-use adjustments needed so the engine's level of 

emission control for each regulated pollutant is equivalent to that from 

the certified configuration.

    (2) Add the following information to the emission control 

information label specified in Sec.  1039.135:

    (i) Include instructions describing how to adjust the engine to 

operate in a way that maintains the effectiveness of the emission-

control system.

    (ii) State: ``THIS ENGINE IS CERTIFIED TO OPERATE IN APPLICATIONS 

USING NONCOMMERCIAL FUEL. MALADJUSTMENT OF THE ENGINE IS A VIOLATION OF 

FEDERAL LAW SUBJECT TO CIVIL PENALTY.''.

    (3) Keep records to document the destinations and quantities of 

engines produced under this section.
