I had to smog my DD today and noticed this sign in the waiting room, which would be applicable to the 1976 914s. Tech says they pinch off the evap system (tubing and charcoal filter between the fuel tank and air filter box) and insert some kind of gas under low pressure to test the evap system, for leaks.
What other testing is required in your area, if any? Attached thumbnail(s) |

And to make matters worse, EPA once again is pushing for E-15 gas. Their bill failed a few years ago, and even though most of the scientific-based reports I have read do not side with the EPA, it's a matter of time before the farm and alcohol lobbies win out.
