My former boss told me yesterday that he is now driving a Chevy pick-up with the turbo diesel engine. He received a warning lamp on the dash alerting him that "Diesel Exhaust Fluid Low". Huh?
He was surprised to discover the truck has a 6 gallon resevoir for a urea based fluid that is injected into the exhaust stream to meet emission standards. $50 for a 5 gallon jug of the stuff at a truck stop, enough to last him somewhere between 3K and 10K miles depending on driving style.
Are diesel engined cars now using this method for achieving the required NOx emission levels too?
