Once upon a time in California, the smog test used to be performed by gas stations and other auto repair shops. Anyway, at the time, I had an old Triumph Spitfire that couldn't pass the test. The shop doing the testing only got paid if the car passed the test. That was the rule, I think. So, what I did was to find a gas station that looked like it needed to make some money. I left my car there for the test and went across the street and had a beer. When I came back, the car had passed with flying colors!

Dump a bunch of E85 in the tank just for the test or straight rubbing alcohol. May not run well, but will pass sniffing test.

This post is based on a lie the shop doesn't get paid unless the car passes. Having lived in California for 52 years this is not true, so the entire premise loses all validity.
