The countdown is about over and all diesel engines built after the first of the year will have to meet new EPA standards.
I have been doing a little reading on the subject and (IF I understand the system correctly) it seems most but not all manufactures are going to do this by using a Urea and water mix relabled as Diesel Exhaust Fluid. The process involves injecting the urea/water mix into the exhaust system of the diesel engine. While bigger trucks will have to fuel this seperate tank more often I THINK smaller pickups can get by with a fill up once every oil change.
I wonder how this new product will affect....
1) Urea prices for fertilizer and/or since urea is made from natural gas how will it affect that gas price.
2) Since it seems Dodge will not be using this but Ford and GM will; how will this effect your decision on brand you buy.
3) Since a body waste has a lot of urea in it how long will it take before some idiot tries using this body waste in his pickups urea tank just to see if it works.
