Emission testing centers, walang kwenta?

[boybi]

our delivery truck was apprehended along a. bonifacio ave. apparently for the violation of the smoke belching law. nung pina emission test yung truck dito since ipapa-register na rin, pasado naman. i asked the local LTO here kung bakit hinuli sa manila yung truck ko e pasado naman sa emission test dito. ang sagot sa akin, hindi daw naniniwala yung mga yun sa mga emission testing centers. pucha, e nagsasayang lang pala tayo ng P300.00 per year para sa wala!

Our dumptruck drivers report that these apprehensions by anti-smoke belching officers on the road catches those that emits a reasonable amount of visible black smoke. Mga normally na nakikita daw nila na nahuhuli eh ung mga passenger bus and jeepney pero may mga katulad na rin nilang truck drivers na nahuli. Sila naman nakikita nila etong mga ito along Edsa Magallanes.

Which brings this question: Is a black smoke emitted by a vehicle through its muffler enough to say that a vehicle is actually smoke-belching?

And in your case sir Boybi, if your delivery truck was caught and in a condition wherein it's not commiting such noticeable smoke, then this is what I believe in: it's either for kotong,your driver made it up, or during the emission test there was some kind of an "offer". The "make-up story" though could be eliminated if you were there when it was apprehended or a violation ticket was given to your driver. So you're down to 2 possibilities. Just my opinion sir.

Even USDM diesel vehicles will emit black smoke. May tolerance range talaga for that lalo na kung wala pa sa ideal conditions yung sasakyan (e.g. on wide open throttle, in process of shifting, etc.)

Random emission testing by the roadside is just another kotong method. I don't care if ABS-CBN glorifies these tailpipe sniffers and exalts them as heroes. Halos lahat naman niyan puro kotong lang.

Yung L300FB ng kaibigan ko na pandeliver sobrang well maintained (self driven kasi) kapag nahuhuli sa random spot check, frustrated daw yung nagtetest kasi kahit ano gawin hindi mapagabsak.

Kahit ako pinapara ng mga goons na iyan, eh. Hindi ko hinihintuan. Paglagpas ko binobomba ko silinyador, pang asar lang.

[Cooldude]

Way of life na nila yang mag kotong in any which way they can.

Kahit ano basta kumita kahit makaabala.

Asus, yung mga govt vehicles nga eh lintek ang smoke belching lalo na yung mga dump trucks.

You'd never see a smoke belching dumptruck unless you're at it's right or left side. Nandun kasi tambucho. Although I must agree na Govt. maintained dumptrucks lack maintenance. One provincial mayor bought a truck and allowed us to handle it for half a year. It was well-maintained by us, I'm sure it was worth it asking as to maintain it. It also earned a significant amount of earnings thanks to our kind-hearted drivers (In trucking, you lose if your drivers just drive and not care for what they handle). But after half a year, he took it from our care, paid us our management fee, and it's just been 3 months pero ung dumptruck? Laspag na. Tailgate, dumpbox, and the front of the truck just filled with damages ranging from minor to mid. Of 10 original rims which never cracked when it was under our care, only 4 remained. The other 6 cracked and needed replacement. We gave them one of our driver and the driver's report to us? Maintainance isn't funded too much. Too bad, ganda pa naman ng truck na un.

ganyan talaga yan sir..

kaya wag masyadong press ng accelerator kasi ang usok.. hehe..

[jagxtrm]

hmm...

kng pa-xerox mo kaya yng result ng emission testing, at kung pinara ka sa random spot check, pwede mo kaya ipakita yng kopya ng emission test mo? i-honor kaya nila 'to?

[bajumbo]

ung isa kong kaibigan sabi nabibili raw ung emission tests sa ibang testing centers...
dapat i-honor ung xerox copy nung test.... kaso... baka sabihin nung nag apprehend sau di pede ang photocopy kc pede dayain...

[Chip]

tsk tsk tsk

THIS IS WHERE OUR TAXES GO

[Cooldude]

Bakit pvt. trucks ang hinuhuli........ e yung mga PUV kaya?

[Innoko]

totoo kasing may testing centers na fake ang result. May isa sa Pasig, pag pasok mo sasabihin agad nung technician, "Sir, siguradong bagsak yan, ayusin na lang natin para hindi doble gastos sa second test". Five hundred and hinihingi kasama na yung normal fee. Ang nakakatawa, halatang galing sa ibang engine yung result na binigay sa akin kase naka print turbo engine eh hindi naman dahil frontier 2.7 E lang yung isang ride ko. Mas nakakatawa, tinanggap sa LTO, walang problema. See? Useless yang mga emission test centers na yan. Parang yung drug test sa LTO, hindi pa lumalabas ihi mo, may result na! Galeng no?

[BlueBimmer]

haha ung emission results ko lumabas kahit di naman lumapit yung probe nila sa exhaust ko LOL

amen.... meron na nga ring mga no-show emission tests eh. yung 350 pesos lang. imagine getting an emissions test results even though you don't bring your car.

[wakin]

yung L300 FB po nag company namin..hinuli dahil smoke belching daw..eh 3 months old pa lang yun!

[boybi]

good for 3 months lang yung certificate ng mga emission testing centers.

yun ngang result ng emission test ng isang truck namin dati, gasoline engine ang nakalagay sa result. hindi ko napansin agad, sa LTO ko na nakita. tinanggap din naman nila

[quiksie]

makapagtayo nga ng emission testing center at siguradong kikita ako hehe joke lang

[OTEP]

Unlike gasoline engines which the driver throttles in more air, a diesel throttles fuel. Put in too much fuel and you run rich which can result in black smoke.

Uy isa kami dito No show sa emission no show pa sa renew ng rehistro sila na kasi bahala sa lahat balikan na lang kinahapunan yung sticker mo.

noon kasama ko dad ko nagpa-emission test kami ng VW Kombi '69 model (1.6L gasoline-carb engine)... di namin kc nalinis at sobrang dumi ng body.

pagpasok pa lng namin sa gate, sinalubong na agad kami ng bati ... "naku, lahat ng nagpa-test ng sasakyan na tulad sa inyo BUMABAGSAK"

sabi ng dad ko "eh di cge, i-test natin" ... "kung bumagsak ho, di na po refundable yng bayad nyo, kng gusto nyo maipasa agad, pwede naman kayo magdagdag ngayon"

sabi ko "bakit ayaw nyo i-test muna? sino ba ang mawawalan pag bumagsak sa emission ang sasakyan namin??"

tumahimik yng mokong at sinimulan na ang testing ... galit na galit nyang inapakan (flooring) yng gas pedal (talagang pedal to the metal, umabot ng 6,500 yng RPM (sorry, no redline indicator sa tach, up to 7,000 RPM yng tachometer), eh kami mag drive hanggang 3,500 RPM max lang kami.

after a few minutes ... lumabas na ang results... ang reading --> 0.54 ppm (passing is 2.5 ppm) ... di na nagsalita ang mokong at umalis kaming naka ngiti...


moral of the story -- have a tune-up first before going to emission centers (change oil, change plugs, clean carb, adjust timing).

Natuto siguro yang mga yan sa mga pulis.... intimidayshun is d neym op di geym.
