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

What proportion of exhaust fumes are nitrous oxide?
who said nitrous............:emps1:

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 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.

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.

- the Euro 5 standard came into force on 1 September 2009 for the approval of vehicles, and shall apply from 1 January 2011 for the registration and sale of new types of cars;
- the Euro 6 standard will come into force on 1 September 2014 for the approval of vehicles, and from 1 January 2015 for the registration and sale of new types of cars;
- they apply for all new vehicles available for sale on the market of a Member State, which meet the requirements of this Regulation before their entry into force;
- they end on the date the new limits come into force;
- are worth less than the cost, including fitting, of the devices used on any type of motor vehicle in order to guarantee that the values laid down are not exceeded.
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:
- tailpipe emissions, including test cycles, low ambient temperature emissions, emissions at idling speed, exhaust gas opacity, and the proper functioning and regeneration of after- treatment systems;
- evaporative emissions and crankcase emissions;
- on-board diagnostic systems and the performance of anti-pollution devices while the vehicle is running;
- durability of anti-pollution devices, replacement parts for emissions control systems, in-service conformity, conformity of production and technical control;
- carbon dioxide emissions and fuel consumption;
- hybrid vehicles;
- extension of approvals and requirements for small manufacturers;
- requirements for testing equipment;
- reference fuels, such as petrol, diesel fuel, gas and biofuels;
- measuring engine power.

Why wouldn't you just round it up to £100?
Weirdo.
Oh, err, yeah, old diesels are good :hippie:
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.

thats a lot of weight your pulling around, but with 180 litres, maybe you can afford to burn extra..
