VW got caught cheating, but they weren't the only ones. Today, most new diesel engines are pretty clean though.

The Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel is what killed any interest I had in Diesel cars, the cost went from less than Regular to above Premium. You skipped right over that.

Low Sulpher content Diesel, Kerosene fuel is the key to cleaner burning, and smelling fuels!!

Why do the injectors spray in 2 lots of diesel when the piston is nearly at BDC?

[sensorieskin]

why do you guys always do this, cutting up cnet on cars and re-uploading it bit by bit.

If i convert my diesel to run on Gas will this overcome the diesel emissions? mi heard it will also be more economical help anyone please

[twitchster]

Just wash it off with some soap.
I'm sure it'll be fine.

Saying urea is like washer fluid is very misleading. Modern diesels will not let you start the vehicle without urea so its not something you can neglect.

This is a turn off...thank you for making me taking this off my future wish list.

all of this rift raft.. all the consumer auto makers need to go electric already. Less maintenance, zero emissions, and more power. instead of investing so much money into this ancient fossil fuel technology, invest in better batteries and charging techniques.
