It goes by different names by different brands but same stuff. Don't know what it is really. But if vehicle needs it and you let that tank run out of it the engine goes to a limp mode,a 50% power reduction.

They didn't say anything about CO2, but turns exhaust into ...harmless nitrogen and oxygen

Is that the stuff in a service tank on a vauxhall zafira? Brother had one and went into limp mode, stealers wanted a load of cash to refill it, in the end he got shot as other bits started to fail.

Nitrogen oxide isn't a thing. Nitrogen and oxygen can combine in a variety of different ways. Its a meaningless umbrella term.
But anyhow, I actually meant to write nitric oxide which I'm guessing is the most common pollutant?
I'm interested in how effective this stuff is. Do you know what proportion of exhaust fumes are 'nitrogen oxide'?

And even they are struggling with it so no hope for anyone else fixing the ****.
And does anyone think any future government will give a **** about that minor detail. As long as they tick the green box and can shaft Joe public for more cash.
some more info
Implementation of the standards
As soon as the Euro 5 and Euro 6 standards enter into force, Member States must refuse the approval, registration, sale and introduction of vehicles that do not comply with these emission limits. An additional delay of one year is allowed for goods transport vehicles (category N1, classes II and III, and category N2) and vehicles designed to fulfil specific social needs. Time frame:
In addition to complying with the emission limits mentioned above, vehicle manufacturers must also ensure that devices fitted to control pollution are able to last for a distance of 160 000 km. In addition, conformity must be checked for a period of 5 years or over a distance of 100 000 km.
The Commission established committees to devise, before 2 July 2008, procedures, tests and specific requirements for the following:
Furthermore, manufacturers must make information available on vehicle repair and maintenance, as well as on the transactional services.

Possibly because the tank was full ?
On a similar note if I need fuel for my truck and I can't find a dedicated HGV pump, I have to put in £100 at a time because pumps generally cut out at £100. Which is a right pain because every time I reach £100 I have to join the queue and pay. If I want 500 litres it takes a while, you might find the previous user of the pump was an HGV.
