Joe,
I did a quick reading of RI inspection rules, older diesels have safety and then just a test of the exhaust particulate levels. an Italian tune up may help. they use an opacity meter. drive it down the street from a stop to 30 mph, have someone follow you to see the level of smoke. Better yet you follow, this may put your mind at ease. fyi only 25 testing locations in all of RI for diesels. In California my diesel was exempt, in Texas only a safety inspection is required, not emissions test.
Hope you find a location close to you.

I have a 1991 300D due for its bi-annual emisssions test. I usually use MMO with diesel fuel and add Diesel Kleen or SeaFoam occasionally. I can get B20 at a truck stop once in a while, in which case I don't use any additive. It doesn't appear to be a "smoker". When I'm under heavy acceleration I think I see a little fog in the rear mirror, but hard to tell. It does have 288K miles on it.
QUESTION: When I bring it in for the emissions test, what is the best thing to have in the tank? Straight Diesel, B20 or diesel and an additive?
I'm in RI, which I think is not as strict as CA.
Any advice?
Joe
