Stationary Diesel ATCM: Advisories & Announcements

Advisories

Agricultural Engine Buyers' Advisory

California emission standards and other requirements regulate the sale, purchase, rental/lease, and operation of diesel engines, including diesel engines used in agriculture.  ARB has recently become aware that used Tier 0 diesel agricultural irrigation pump and gen set engines advertised on EBay, Craig's List, and similar websites do not meet Stationary Diesel Engine Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM) emission standards for the installation and use of agricultural engines.  ARB has notified these websites about the ATCM and requested that they publish disclaimers with ads for Tier 0 engines.  Please consult your local California air district prior to selling or purchasing any diesel agricultural pump or gen set engine, especially a used one.  

Announcements

  • Owners or operators of affected engines were required to submit registration information to local air districts by March 1, 2008.
