Spaugh 1 Posted March 22, 2010 anyone have experience transfering a diesel to CA from out of state. The one I'm looking at is a 2004 cummins in AZ. I'm not sure they are CARB compliant. Anyone know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastaPilot 17 Posted March 22, 2010 The way I see it, an engine is an engine. It's what you plan to do with it that will give you trouble. If it's for agricultural or enginneering applications you'll have no troubles at all. A backup generator for your house when the anti-government riots start? You might have a problem with the neighbors, but chances are your neighbors will have other problems bigger than your diesel powered generator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIP 0 Posted March 22, 2010 I'm not sure they are CARB compliant. Anyone know? It dosent matter as long as it has 7500+ miles on the odometer. I bought a 2006 VW TDI from Oregon in 2007. The car had 8000 miles on it so everything was fine. California never allowed this car to be sold new here - but used is ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaynen 0 Posted March 22, 2010 My VW TDI was also not sold in cali in fact it started as a canadian car then was in AZ and CA, as long as it has the 7500 miles youll have no issues getting into the state however CARB is now starting diesels to get smogged but it just means they check to make sure all the emissions parts are there and look for a lot of smoke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lemieuxmc@yahoo.com 0 Posted March 22, 2010 If it's below the GVWR that defines it as a pickup you are fine. If it's above (12,000lbs, I think) you can't do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PastaPilot 17 Posted March 23, 2010 OH you wanted a truck! Why didn't you say so? You have a line on a diesel Motorcycle? He titled the post "out of state diesel transfer". I initially assumed he was considering a pipeline or trucking company. In the body of the post spaugh then mentions a "2004 Cummins". Knowing that cummins makes diesel engines from the Navy small boats and auxiliary generators a thought he just wanted an engine, but had no idea what for.

toddrh 0 Posted March 23, 2010 I have some general advice for those that are bringing in or have cars from other states that haven't been registered. When it comes time to register it here, tell the DMV it has only been here one day. Lie if you have to, but the DMV will TAX you for every day that it was here. Anything over 6 mos will cost hundreds of dollars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
