I think the DOE is fairly ok with enmissions in general, its not as strict a test as the nct, but im sure others can tell u better.
How is it a D-turbo? All the 306carvans are non-turbo 1.9`s arent they.
Did u convert a Dturbo car to a commercial?

My mate was advised to add a little kero to the tank just before the test, he did so and had no problems with smoke.

Take the van for a good "italian tune up" before hand, it'll clear the pipes! And starting will be cleaner anyway on a warm engine.
