I don't quite understand. The older pre-chamber Diesels emitted smoke
(particules) on a large scale, while TDI and CDI, along with low sulphur
Diesel fuel, provides very little particules and great fuel mileage. You're
saying that studies show that a more fuel efficient, cleaner burning Diesel
engine, burning a cleaner fuel, less fuel, produces more dangerous
emissions?
Was this study financed by EXXON?
