The new 2008 VW clean common rail diesel will not require any additives to break down the NOx (eg shot) emmissions. Larger VW model with 6 cyclinder diesel engines to be introduced in 2009 and 2010 will have a urea tank. The urea, (eg piss), is sprayed through a mesh screen into the exhaust system. When it mixes with the hot exhaust gases it turns into ammonia, which breaks the NOx down into nitrogen and water. The goal is to make the tank large enough to last for one service cycle, at which point the service tech will refill it.
New diesels autos being introduce to the US from Honda, Toyota, Ford and others will all have the urea tank. Since the urea tank is going to become common, I would expect the urea to be available much like motor oil is available today. http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/04/vw-unveils-next-gen-tdi-engine/ or http://tinyurl.com/2kmac8 Regards, LelandJ Pete Theisen wrote: > On Wednesday 27 June 2007 11:05, Leland F.
