You mean VW who identify their diesels with a TDi badge? It obviously means 'turbo' but most marques do not use it any longer. Toyota call theirs D4D. No 'T' from Toyota LOL. My Toyota does not even mention it being a diesel on the back and neither does my X5. Mercedes call theirs CDi. Do you think they fit a turbo? Toyota D4D as fitted to Corolla is available with and without aftercooling. Do they bother to point this out either on the car or to the majority of customers? No.
Your arguments are increasingly fatuous and inaccurate Neo.
These are different figures to ones you used elsewhere. The actual maximum in most of the USA is 0.05% Sulphur by weight IIRC which is indeed 500ppm. Ultra low sulphur fuel, which is the ONLY road diesel available in the UK has 10ppm on average From 2005 zero sulphur diesel fuel will be available. Australia has fuel with a maximum of 50ppm
The UK and most of Western Europe is now using ultra low sulphur fuel, having used low sulphur fuel for a number of years. The USA will not have ULS fuel generally available until 2006 at the earliest
US and Canadian fuel does vary markedly in sulphur content from quite low in California to very high from some Exxon refineries in the North. Paradoxically it will be these high sulphur refineries which will be first with low sulphur fuel and updating these is now at a fairly advanced stage.
Most of the biggest countries in the EU, like France and
No one uses this level of fuel contamination in Western Europe AFAIK. It has only been available for off highway equipment for the best part of a decade in the UK.
What is it with you and facts? Are you so insecure that you have to be bigger and better at everything? It is rather childish to claim that our diesel is as dirty as yours when it is plainly not. Again I have to ask why you appear to be an apologist for your oil industry? Are you employed by them as a propagandist?
Yes indeed. The latest ones from certain manufacturers are about at the same level. Older diesels produce more particulates of a greater size. There is nothing to hide. Do you think I would deny that older generation diesels and some in current production produce more soot? I am not an apologist for anything or anyone LOL.
Not compared with latest direct injection petrol engines they don't.
Benzene in diesel is at a trace level at most. Benzene in petrol is also on the decline but is certainly still a fairly major constituent of the fuel and needs some trick vacuum nozzles to prevent it poisoning the driver filling the tank LOL.

It was well known decades before it was phased out. It was also known for decades that it was not needed in the fuel. It was only forced out by legislation which also phased in the catalytic converter.
Do you mean 'revisionism'? I had to point that out in view of you being such a stickler and all that LOL
Again your defence of what is known to be facts is amazing. You must be employed in a PR role, either directly or indirectly by the oil industry. Trying to discredit information is a basic tactic. Let me tell you that your attempts are pathetically amateurish.
I am doing quite well it seems. Well enough to get you to make quite absurd assertions and trying to deflect the argument at every turn.

Without question. As a compromise, the TRD units are not pushing
20lbs of boost either. AS you know, bolt-ons must be compromised. Were the installation done from the ground up, the compression would be quite low and the engine's entire bottom end beefier with additional lubrication measures. I did post a link that details a TRD supercharger experience that appeared to be pretty objective on the nuts and bolts of such a project. Oh... here it is:

How is property and agriculture germain to aftermarket turbocharging of personal cars? Nice try though! ;-)
Not so. It is approx 35 sec oil. A refinery can be designed and run to provide varying percentages of this oil in relation to total output. Should more diesel be required then the refinery can be tuned to produce this more efficiently.
You miss the point. The point is that I am actually involved in sales, with no relation to agriculture, property or construction plant, on an almost daily basis. I even do a certain amount of 'cold calling' when sales are slow. I am intimately involved with motors and engines of all kinds, although I do contract major repairs out. When I have the time I do my own routine servicing on my personal small fleet.

Do you sell automotive products to The Public in person? Do you have to persuade The Public in person? Good thing you're not doing "cold calls" in America as recent law would have you on the short end of expensive lawsuits. LOL No doubt you've heard.
My cold calls are based on intelligence, so are more 'luke warm' than 'stone cold' and usually involve professionals rather than random Joe Public in city streets LOL. Mainly I only try and sell to those that have expressed an interest or who I have intelligence which indicates a high disposable income potential.
Technically, Philip, they are both superchargers, since they supercharge the engine with combustion air. They can be either driven mechanically or by exhaust gas. For reference, I will quote the website to which you referred us all in the previous post. "The first exhaust-driven supercharger . . ."
