Just run diesel in the fuel tank, make sure you've addressed all the normal maintenance, then go to a different shop.
A truck can fail simply because of the operator, and nothing more. If it passed last year, and you haven't had any issues with it since then, it should pass again.
Unless you've had some problems lately. If so, let me know and I can possibly help check out your truck for you.

It's near impossible for a diesel to fail the sniffer test here.
Out of 20% allowed opacity, my trucks register 0.0%.
One local guy failed and I told him to go to another test station and he passed fine.
Good luck.
