The engines can be operated using standard diesel with a maximum sulfur . content of 500 parts per million by weight. The Catalytic Particulate Filters exempted urider this Executive Order are listed in Attachment B. This exemption is based on the following emission test results submitted by CAP for a 2001 model—year PSA C—10 bi—fuel engine with the Catalytic Particulate Filter: Conflguratién THC NMHC CO _| NOx PM Bi—Fuel w/ CPF . 0.6 o.98 | 1.9 | 0.006 Diesel w/ CPF 0.04 —— 0.20 3.7 0.013 Standards 1.3 1.2 15.5 4.0 0.10 The test data show that the exhaust emissions with the Catalytic Particulate Filter are below the applicable emission standards.
