I'm getting cancer just reading this thread..

In reality diesels are here for a fair while yet . just how it is .

Maybe those who get knocked around by it riding bikes and where ever else might need to read this and buy something like these...

Still trying to work out whats worse. Diesel or sharing the roads with drug fuelled maniacs

EDManual · 15-03-2018, 11:37 PM

I saw some interesting fact the other week, something like 5 ships emit as much as all the diesel vehicles in france!..

EDManual · 15-03-2018, 11:39 PM

, found this ; the 15 biggest ships produce more sulfur oxide pollutants than all the cars in the world.

Don't spose you were bent when you came up with the 170kw gain cunning plan

Yes I have known this for some time, more people die in Hong Kong than all other pollutants combined. The **** can be seen in the shipping lanes from space. The poorer the countries the more sulphur they use. Australia want let ships in if there using over a certain % of Sulphur.

What do you mean ? 170kw is conservative

Yet I passed a British nuclear powered and armed warship on the Manly ferry last Saturday.
Wonder where all the Greenies were ?

All of the emissions

I'm going with the bent theory. See if you had a turbo 6 it'd be realistic

Everything in Australia should be nuclear powered. No emissions. Its ridiculous we have only one nuc power station. And our 50 billion dollar subs will be petrol driven. What a calamity, Nuc powered subs can stay under water indefinitely only surfacing for food. Our ****ty subs must surface for fuel and air and there three times easier to detect by sub killers. Second worse 50 billion spent by our dumb **** pollies after the stupid **** disastrous NBN.

Subs are sitting ducks. The only defence they have is silent running, something our 50 billion dollar subs wont have.

I dread the day they ban cows for their methane emissions from farts. I love a good steak.

would that be 98 octane petrol powered submarines??? or cant we say that filthy word DIESEL there I said it now stone me.

**solarite_guy** · 17-03-2018, 07:22 AM

Maybe coal powered. There is still plenty of that around.

Olbucko · 17-03-2018, 11:02 AM

What have the last 15 posts got to do with diesel cars?

Lovford, you seem to let a lot of emotion cloud your 'facts' and therefore undermine your overall argument e.g. Australia has NO nuclear power station, we have a world class research reactor, producing medical isotopes (exported globally) and particles for scientific study http://www.ansto.gov.au/AboutANSTO/OPAL/index.htm and our new submarines will be diesel / electric https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collin...cement_project with the remote possibility of the last few version to be nuclear powered.
Please include some links, with referenced studies, to cover some of your statements. It would go a long way to improving your standing with the group.

Everything

Nuclear powers cars now? wonder what sort of airbags need to be fitted.

I do agree we should have Nuclear powers stations though

How many cycles is a DPF good for on a ranger?
I drive it long enough that getting overfilled shouldn't be an issue but it'd be handy to get an idea on how much life is left in it before it needs to be replaced. And has anyone fitted an aftermarket replacement? What was the cost versus a factory replacement?

if you get a full regen, limitless..

you can also back flush them with cold water.. water and compressed air works well..

Where abouts have you sourced your info from? The articles that I read online said the units had a life expectancy of a number of cycles, but didn't specify the number.
I can't imagine it being limitless... every part will wear out eventually..
