Aircare folks told me you only needed 2 on the drive wheels. A couple of stock spares should do ya, I have one and Aircare is 5 min from me too.

ended up renting a pair from bullhide4x4 here in fort collins. cost $35 to rent them but they did all of the swapping so i guess its not too bad. got the emissions test done and i'm good for another 2 years now.

Next time around, look for the drive-by vans. Locations are posted on AirCare's website.

Two clean hits in the 10 months prior to your renewal card being sent out, and you won't have to deal with it.

Just tossing in my 2¢.

Make sure it's at least two passes, one each at TWO DIFFERENT locations. And, if your gas cap is old, say more than 5 years, you may want to get a new one. I went through AC mobile stations several times in prep for a renewal. I got the renewal card in the mail with instructions for e-test. It was the bad gas cap.

I didn't see them even test my gas cap this time while I was there nor did I see them test any others.

You won't see testers actually looking at or messing with your gas cap although they should be checking to see if the filler has been altered. The testing equipment detects leaks at the gas cap.

the last time mine was tested (2 years ago) they physically removed the gas cap and tested it on the machine. but not this time. and there really isn't any way for their machine to test the cap without removing it as all they do is a visual inspection to make sure all of the emissions stuff is there and then put it on the rollers with a pipe on the exhaust. maybe there was some sort of sniffer by the gas cap during the test that i didn't see? dunno but i don't think so

Two years ago I had to borrow some smaller tires for my xj because my tires were to large for the rollers, and then last year I took my truck in for emissions and they said it was too heavy for the rollers so they just took it out along side the building and put the engine through its paces with the trans in neutral. This left me wondering why they cant just do the same thing for vehicles with oversized tires. I should have asked them about it then, but I was itching to get the hell out of there.

When I had my vehicles done this year, I found they had moved the cap test to the front end of the process. While they were doing the visual inspection, the machine was testing my cap.
