The USA Federal Clean Air Act The Federal Clean Air Act Section 203 (a) (3) prohibits the removal of air pollution control devices or the modification of an EPA-certified non-road engine to a non-certified configuration. The Federal regulations implementing the Clean Air Act for nonroad engines, 40 C.F.R.Section 89.1003(a)(3)(i), reads as follows: The following act and the causing thereof are prohibited: For a person to remove or render inoperative a device or element of design installed on or in a non-road engine vehicle or equipment in compliance with regulations under this part prior to its sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser or for a person knowingly to remove or render inoperative such a device or element of design after the sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser. The law provides a penalty of up to $2,500 for each violation.
An example of a prohibited modification is the recalibration of the fuel system so that the engine will exceed the certified horsepower or torque. You should not make a change to an EPA-certified non-road engine that would result in an engine that does not match the engine configuration certified to meet the Federal Standards.
