Thanks Trendseeker for that pipeline burst info. Man, now THAT was a seriously BAD DAY for those poor folks..
Anyway, been thinking lately about Diesel particulate filters and when their doing their burn offs.
How is this better than Ad blue? Most of you would have seen cars / trucks etc belching blue smoke like an old leaded dunga back in the day with stuffed rings / valve guides etc. polluting the crap out of our air supply.
They don't get pulled over for "excessive smoke". But I can bet you a weeks wages that if I drove my old POS V6 Magna down the road blowing that much smoke, I would be the 1st inline for a canary. (that's a defect notice to non Adelaide viewers).
Why is that? Is it because it's shiny and new, and that must mean everything is kosha?
Wonder if I would get chatted to if I put Diesel in a new petrol car and took it for a blast through the CBD. Then once pulled over
I could say it's "normal" officer... and being the dumb doughnut munching ignoramus he, or, she is, probably get away with it.
What are your thoughts peoples?
Cheers,
One thinking insomniac Mad Man
