How does urea clean diesel exhaust?
Urea SCR cleans the exhaust after combustion. The heat breaks the urea down into ammonia—the actual NOx-reducing agent. Through a catalytic converter, the ammonia breaks the NOx down to harmless nitrogen (N) gas and water vapor. The exhaust is no longer a pollutant; the atmosphere is about 80% nitrogen gas.

Diesels with traditional injection systems will tolerate around 10% gas and it wasn’t unusual for operators to add a gallon of gas to a tankful as a winter additive. These days fuel companies usually remember to include an anti-waxing additive so the practice is no longer necessary (it is absolute chaos when they do forget).
Can a diesel engine burn a full tank of gasoline?
