Spraying piss into the exhaust system in order to clean up emissions is a waste of time...... Just more crap to break down......

Hmmmm... why do I think this thread is going to derail into an argument about politics and the environment. Maybe this time I'll avoid that normal crap and go straight to religion..... it's all the pope's fault - he washed some chick's feet - that's why we're putting pee in our diesels.
too bad, I was hoping for a primer as to the what, why, and how manufacturers are complying with the law.... without the banned BSLast edited by SuperBuickGuy; April 1, 2013, 03:16 PM.Doing it all wrong since 1966

My bud has a 86 Jimmy that is mint! THe previuous owner swapped out the 6.2 for a 6.5 and it runs great on Home heating oil to boot. Another friend has a 82 Seville diesel that he had the motor redone on and the head bolts and some other stuff updated by a diesel shop in CT and that runs like a champ too. 30 mpg even.

the last itineration of the 5.7 - the DX block, solved the problems of the prior versions; but by then it was far too little and far too late to save GM's failure. So yes, they got amazing mpg - my dad had one in his 76 El Camino (I'm not sure I ever counted the number of ways I hated that car... whatever, it was a lot of ways).Doing it all wrong since 1966

Why not WATER? or water/alky?

I'm betting the aftermarket will soon have "DEF Delete kits" for "off road use only" if they don't already.
Wouldn't a lower CR lower fuel economy as well? Just to get lower PPM per gallon, but use more gallons to do it, in turn spewing out more particulate matter.

Dan- I haven't read up on the source for the Cruze just yet, but it's not offered in a long roof. The longroof Jetta comes in fully loaded under $30k, not sure what your budget is.
As for the CSI, seems unless it was branded Honda or Toyota it never did so well. Just in my immediate family we've had '84 Rabbit diesel (265k miles & counting), '85 Golf diesel (retired with 160k miles after an accident), '86 Golf diesel (140k miles & counting), '88 Jetta gas (95k totaled in an accident), '89 Jetta diesel (130k miles and counting), '95 Jetta gas (145k miles and counting), and '13 Beelte diesel (just a baby). Then there's the half dozen or more between extended family and friends. If maintained properly, haven't had a issue.
Finally, the urea (35% in deionized water) reacts with the NOx in the exhaust to cause a chemical reaction to produce Nitrogen and and H2O. Saying it's cow piss in the tank is like saying you wrap your sandwich in crude oil because you use plastic wrap.sigpic
