Some older ones still have the extra small tank (Peugeot/Ford/Mazda) that takes the expensive fluid that is injected into the system when you fill the main tank up and will last for years, as long as you fill the tank full every time and don't keep putting 10 quids worth in !
That's interesting..

...the AdBlue Diesel Exhaust Fluid is sprayed into the exhaust before the catalytic converter, presumably to reduce the size/style/toxicity of the particulates into the air.

Diesel trucks down here complying with EuroV and soon to be EuroVI emissions rules are mostly AdBlue equipped...

Wonder how it would go in a diesel forklift.. if they had a cat converter... some of them will blow your head off with their fumes...
