Diesels Not Dead Yet

[Welsh will]

I use this additive
Archoil AR6900-D Max Advanced Diesel Fuel Synthesis

Seems to work well, I purchase from Amazon see here. I note that I forgot to include a link in my previous post so I will include it here as well as updating my previous post.

Think this ok for Euro 4 like you mentioned you have but i wouldnt use it on Euro 5 especially if fitted with a particulate filter. These systems have there own additive which is injected either into particulate filter or fuel tank.
As mentioned previously a good fuel is especially the key to keeping things clean

Would it noy be fairer to judge each vehicle's damage on the basis of emissions per mile X Miles per year. Some Euro 4 courier vans might be doing a lot more damage than a Euro 2 MH doing 4,000 miles a year.

Despite jet engines inevitably having high emissions, the fact that most of these occur at high altitude and the relatively low numbers of aircraft compared to other vehicles means that overall they only account for about 2% of total transport emissions. Aircraft Engine Emissions

The maximum emissions for a jet are on takeoff and the denser air makes for the particulate and NOx being a huge figure for each engine,Taxy about about .2kilos per second fuel usage per engine. The older engines were very bad indeed for black soot pouring out of the on full power , RAF aircraft are awful especially the Hercules with its total loss lubrication system , trailing smoke all the way up to altitude, Ships are the biggest contributor as they amount of emissions is directly proportional to the fuel used. about 50mtrs to the gallon. and the have to use proper diesel now as the older heavy oils ( TARand bitumen) need to have very expensive exhaust scrubbers and fuel boilers to melt the oil.

Reminds me of the Vulcan bomber quite a small footprint on Radar but a large black cloud announcing it's whereabouts

HUGE dump trucks at mines running on electric motors

These are great - they actually generate more power than they use, because they trundle up to the quarry on their electric motors, then roll back down full of rocks generating electricity as they go.

The detail in which such things have been studied is astounding. For example a study on taxi fuel used (very useful for insomnia) http://www.mit.edu/~hamsa/pubs/KhadilkarBalakrishnanGNC2011.pdf
The totals though are still a very small percentage of total emissions, and in proximity to some airports the fuel emissions on a particulate basis are far exceeded by tyre and brake emissions. Anecdotally I used to park regularly very near to Heathrow and on returning to my car it would always be covered in a thin dust film.

what i would like to know
fire engins police ambalances what are all the emergency services going to do runalong shouting gee up,
or run on on on derv. ok its up to you pj.

what about all these sales persons traveling 12000 miles a year i may be wrong but how many cars and hire
cars do our goverment have them oh i see they dont count .pj.
