    That's pretty close, not sure of exact regs, but something like early to mid 2000's CARB certified etc. Should be a CARB website out there.

    To overhaul a older unit you are going to spend some money...be better off buying a used newer unit that up on carb

    they are apparently starting to check this stuff, too.
    I run reefer out of Cali and have been checked at the shipper the last two loads.
    Shippers asked me if I was CARB compliant. Said yes. They loaded me. One driver wasn't sure, they wouldn't load him.
    Some guy with a patch on his arm, in a uniform, walking around checking reefer units as they were loading or waiting to be loaded.
    This was in Salinas and the other time was just yesterday in the produce section of LA.
