Its all about this nox gas now. Vehicle manufactures are trying to get it lower and lower and the vw audi group are starting to run an ad blue system on there passenger vehicles so cleaner gases come out the exhaust pipe.It injects a man made substance from a separate tank that you also have to fill like petrol(more cost),into the exhaust pipe after it has been burnt from the engine,so its cleaner when it leaves the car!! Really its all a load of B*##~ because all the new diesels are runing DPF filters (diesel particulate filters) so when your driving along it collects all the s#~* inside it. So super clean air comes out the exhaust pipe.(or so borris and his chums are told!) YEH RIGHT then as your driving they go into regenaration mode which means they are full of crap and need cleaning. So the engine DOUBLE injects the diesel(how in efficiant is that!) into the engine to get the dpf stupidly hot and burns the soot off. Guess what? It goes out the exhaust pipe!!
But not when the magic smoke machine at the test station is conected to it. Says its super clean then.
But un less your car does it this way you cant drive it through a LEZ zone.
I say everyone should boycott the place see what happens when the deliverys dont turn up and the shops start closing down with no shoppers. See what Borris says then;)

DEEP BREATH AND RANT OVER

A commer with boost will be appering on a screen near you soon!
 
What an almighty load of crap the politicians spout. But then somehow we have all become sheep and allow it to happen. We can only blame ourselves. I would love any politician to try something like that here! They would be out faster than a jet powered commer!!! I think we have all forgotten we own the country and public servants are there to do for us not the other way round. That's what dictators do. Ok rant over but its something i do feel strongly about.

Well...alright then, maybe just a little...
 
Funny you should mention sheep because that's were Add Blue comes from - sheep p**s[xx(]
So when you see that dribble of condensation coming out of the exhaust you'll know what it is:I

Close, it was one that I tried to buy last year, posted some pictures at the time. Nearly did as well, but it didn't quite happen.
A real shame this LEZ thing, I'm currently working in a gang of loft converters, all our jobs are central or south london, two of the guys I work with run really clean, tidy and regularly serviced toyota hiace, fantastic reliable vans, had them for years but have now been forced to buy newer vehicles, unsuprisingly the cost of LEZ exempt vehicles have of course increased with the enforced demands. How many small traders/businesses can really afford to shell out the five or six grand for an unneccessary replacement vehicle at the moment? Bloody outrageous. [:(!]
 
I work for a Merc commercial main dealer in the Essex/London/Herts area and this is forcing our customers out of Business all the time or stretching their resorces to the max.[V][V][V]:(:(

Really Panky? i had never heard of Add Blue until now and i thought you were taking the p***...not adding it!!!

Well...alright then, maybe just a little...

I've had this stuff leak from containers in my van and had it on my hands[V], can't get it of quick enough. it crystalizes when it dries.
Shall have to have words when i go to work tomorrow as we have had no information supplied as to any dangers it may hold[:(!]not keen on this word "Hazardous" [:0]
Thanks Panky ;) Think i agree with you about the soot!

My apologies to Martin, his thread seems to have gone astray:I
back to my "rootes"
 
Google Add Blue MSDS
It's not classed as hazardous but you should certainly be aware of it's properties. Every company should have a COSHH Register that details every chemical held on the premises - paint, oil even down to Tipex and washing up liquid.
