<VV> Emissions lights...

[Harry Yarnell]

They are probably not sniffing the gas tank, but the cap to see if its one 
way check valve is working.
On an '01 they will check that the CE lamp isn't illuminated, and then hook 
up to the cars computer (via the ALDL) to see if there's any error codes. 
Probably didn't do a 'sniff'.
