and going green is the policy of the federal government we believe that it is time cummins corporation stepped forward and created a natural gas fuel system that is capable of operating in a real world situation. Our oil carry over situation has been reviewed by the engineers at parker- hannifin filtration and they determined that we are supplying our vehicles with the cleanest possible fuel obtainable. This makes cummins corporation 's position all the more objectionable. We want the federal government to force cummins corporation to repair the existing defects at their own cost and all new engines shall be capable of using fuels manufactured in real world situations. We have been experiencing this defect since the 1999 model year through our most current 2009 engines. ( Note: bus model is an eldorado national ez-rider ii, 30 foot, low floor transit bus. Models listed on site were not current for this manufacturer). *Tr
