 It´s Still Not Recommended to Piss in Your Gas Tank | | By: BizarreNews | Published: 10/09/2001 | | |  |

A chemical originally obtained from urine might be able to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides from diesel engines by up to 80 per cent, New Scientist reports. The catalytic converters used with petrol engines don´t work for diesels, but new European emissions regulations coming into effect in 2005 demand heavy nitrogen oxide reductions from diesel. The system they´ve come up with injects a urea solution into the catalytic converter. Urea is a nitrogen rich organic compound that was originally isolated from animals´ urine for fertilizer. Inside the converter, heat from the exhaust gases convert the urea into ammonia, which reacts with the harmful nitrogen oxides in the catalytic converter, tranforming them into harmless nitrogen and water vapor. Trucks with 900-liter diesel tanks will need an extra 50-liter tank for the urea solution. One oil company is studying potential ways of distributing urea via gas stations.
