The sock master must have stepped in shite if that's the case.

Laughable is just a pathetic sock,

Australia has urea and also makes AdBlue.

From what I have heard with a farmer interviewed on the Project last night, we have about 5 weeks worth AdBlue.

I also heard whispers that we only make 20% in Oz of Urea.

Also found out… from the trucker’s wife… their diesel trucks don’t need the urea as they are older trucks… it’s the newer trucks that depend on it.

I see the older trucks getting lots of delivery work soon?
That and/or older diesel trucks sought after will take a hike in prices?

Literally… “food” for thought.

Just remember, the good old Aussie scout’s motto… be prepared.

This urea or addblue is not necessary.
This is a euro 6 requirement, Australia is only working at Euro 5.
A small adjustment to the computer and bingo, no longer is add blue required.

But the "authorities" would have a hissy fit if we actually kept the trucks on the road.
Better to decimate the ability to fill shelves and provide necessary groceries.
Better to send farmers and manufacturers to the wall.
Better to send Australians broke than make a small adjustment to a few trucks until the add blue is available again.

But that's just too easy
And everyone knows that easy is unknown to the Australia grubberment.

I have a MUX with a DPF (diesel particulate filter)
It's a stupid, badly engineered patch that has been forced on diesel owners to comply with some stupid emission rules.
It will eventually clog up and render an otherwise functional vehicle undrivable.

If it ever does, I'll be getting it fixed and sell the car.
I will purchase a pre-DPF diesel, have it rebuilt and drive it as it is meant to drive.

A lot of diesel vehicle owners with models that have DPF ... get them cleaned & then fitted with Catch Cans.

I agree a system that clogs the manifold & turbo with carbon build up is ridiculous.

I agree a system that clogs the manifold & turbo with carbon build up is ridiculous.

The catch can has nothing to do with the DPF directly.
Their purpose is to "catch " the oil laden fumes that come from the crankcase and which are "supposedly" recycled through the engine.
However the problem is there is another "patch" that recycles a percentage of exhaust fumes back through the intake manifold ( the EGR) to mix with the oil.
The EGR is introduced before the turbo to mix with "clean" air to reduce the heat generated by the combustion process by reducing the available oxygen in the cylinder by mixing the previously burnt oxygen in the exhaust.
This supposedly reduces the NOX fumes.

The result.
The oil and carbon ash from these two processes combining is a sludge which over time blocks the intake manifold and head reducing the engines efficiency.

As it becomes less and less efficient, more carbon and oil clog it even more.

This results in the DPF clogging up with the exhaust of the engine and eventually failing.

So while the catch can is a separate and unrelated (to the DPF) process.
It time it can help minimise the clogging and improve efficiency.

Diesel engines these days are under enormous pressure to stop contributing to the world's pollution.

However this is mainly because diesel exhaust is more visible than petrol engines, but the stuff you see is mostly just carbon.
The DPF is designed to remove "invisible" particulate material.
This carcinogenic particulate material is just as prevalent in petrol cars as in diesel, but not as noticeable.
And because petrol engines are less efficient as diesel, they actually produce more of the stuff.

Add blue does not even go through the engine.
It's squirted into the exhaust.
It's a Euro 6 requirement Australia is only currently working to Euro 5, predominantly because we have nowhere near the issues they have in other countries.

Firstly, rarely a day goes by that has no wind, wind blows away the fumes.
We have a much smaller population.
We don't live in densely packed cities with every driver driving a diesel car or truck
And we have greater distances to travel in open areas that see few people or housing.

The only reason our idiot politicians want Euro 6 requirements is that it makes them look cool to the big boys.

What they won't tell you is tgat the fuel quality in Australia is so bad that more efficient, more powerful and less polluting vehicles can't run on the crap we use.
The car companies just won't send them here because they know the crap fuel will cause problems with these high performance and economical engines.

We also have a group of idiots working in the roads and maritime agency who just love to screw up engines.
Harley Davidson bikes are forced to send their bikes into Australiia with a restrictor in the carby.
Honda's had their 1.0mm car by jets reduced to 0.75mm
and several cars were subjected to equally draconian stupidity.

Why, you ask?
Because these morons believed that by restricting the jets and fiddling with the computer mapping, they can slow down vehicles.
But these deadbeats never really studied engines and the resulting effects of restricting fuel flow which has been "designed" by infinitely smarter engineers.

For example
My 1.5 litre, 6 cylinder, 6 carby Honda was shipped to Australia with 0.75mm jets.
The result, it had a nasty flat spot around 4000 rpm.
I got around 35 to 40 mpg out of this beautiful bike.
I was told I could not have the correct jets shipped to Australia from Honda.
Honda was instructed not to do it.
So, a mate in the US bought the jets, shipped them to me and I fixed the bike.
The result, with no other adjustments,
Fuel consumption improved 38 to 45 mpg
Flat spot gone
Acceleration improved so that 0 to 100kph was achieved in a fraction over 3 seconds, instead of the previous 4.5 seconds.

Crap fuel
Idiotic rules
Uneducated morons changing engine functionality

No wonder we only get outdated vehicles in Australia.
