Diesel tuner faces year in prison for violating the Clean Air Act.
The EPA had previously issued Spartan Diesel Technologies a violation notice for selling these tunes back in 2015, but the company never responded. That inaction was followed up by a $4.15 million fine in 2017, which Geouge allegedly tried to skirt by selling Spartan off to another company called Patriot Diagnostics. The EPA has argued that Geouge instead attempted to rebrand the business. Geouge would ultimately plead guilty to the charges levied against him in 2021.
. That said, it is hard to come to the defense of the folks who peed in everyone's pool. Diesel tuners have to be aware of the fact that they played a huge role in the EPA’s renewed vigor surrounding the CAA, and that we’re all left to deal with the consequences. We wouldn’t be surprised if this is just the start of the Department of Justice taking things further than fines.
