Yearly mandatory inspection of my Dodge Ram Van -90 is set to next friday. Have to fix few things. I bought this ½ years ago, so I don´t know what to expect.

Today I went to some garage and they did pollution inspection, with is also mandatory for cars starting from 1978. I did this beforehand, so that in the final inspection this are not going to made, if I have label that shows, that everything is ok. At this time Dodge did not pass the test. There was a leak at catalyzer (I hate those!) + air filter was clogged. Also distributor was quite dirty from inside, so I think that gas was not burning properly, therefore I got high readings on pollution test. I fixed those and I try again tomorrow.

Petrol tank was leaking from the hoses, where gasoline comes out from the tank. Had to remove the tank & take away "snap on" connectors.




I fitted the hoses directly to pipes and used "old style" hoseclamps. No more leaks there. Only pipe where you put gasoline in to tank leaks a bit. Have to fix that too.
