I really don't know about the emissions, but petrol engines seem to be more reliable than modern diesel ones.But won't that just mean a decrease in diesel particulates and an increase in petrol carbon monoxide in exhaust gases ie. Swapping one dirty exhaust for an equally bad one.
The result will probably be an Adblue for petrol engines

Once again in my best James May voice ' What a cock!'Ok let the humiliation and ridicule begin,my mh does not have a adblue system fitted there I said it .In my defence the hand book says it has so there are mitigating circumstances,so crack on funsters I can stand it

No - Adblue is for NOx reduction. CO emissions for petrol and Diesel engines was cracked long ago.But won't that just mean a decrease in diesel particulates and an increase in petrol carbon monoxide in exhaust gases ie. Swapping one dirty exhaust for an equally bad one.

So if nothing is making petrol engines "dirty", then why are we still persisting with diesel?CO emissions for petrol and Diesel engines was cracked long ago.

We've no such problems now, invested in the little boxes which fools the ECU by thinking its still using it.
Just say to yourself " Thank God It is not there"Ok let the humiliation and ridicule begin,my mh does not have a adblue system fitted there I said it .In my defence the hand book says it has so there are mitigating circumstances,so crack on funsters I can stand it

I think Mercedes and Halfords both assume there will be good access above the Adblue filler, which is not the case by the time Hymer have built a motorhome around it.

I just find it strange that adding urea to the system reduces emissions. the main constituent of urine is urea so in effect you are spraying heated piss into your van
Lots of confusion about this: petrol engines emit close to zero CO and Diesel engines very slightly more. All engines emit CO2 which is simply a function of how much fuel they burn and not how well they burn it. Diesel engines have two problems: high combustion temperatures mean that they produce an excess of nitrous oxide (that's from heating the air they use to burn the fuel: air is over 70% nitrogen) hence the introduction of Adblue; they also produce fine particulates (carbon-based) hence the use of DPFs. There is apparently a consensus within the ranks of Diesel engine designers that any further reduction of emissions is unlikely.But won't that just mean a decrease in diesel particulates and an increase in petrol carbon monoxide in exhaust gases ie. Swapping one dirty exhaust for an equally bad one.

I always believed that diesel exhaust gasses had far less co than petrol exhausts.Lots of confusion about this: petrol engines emit close to zero CO and Diesel engines very slightly more.

Sounds right, they consume very little of the stuff in a smallish engine.Think we've got it on our new Motability Car. Was told not to worry about it the garage deals with it when it's serviced. We picked the car up a week ago.
With my new Mercedes Frankia the ad-Blue is free at any Merc Commercial dealer for the 1st year. My man will be putting in free for many years to come, and yes it IS purified Pigs Piss.
It is also bloody hard to fill. I have the s shaped pipe and it is still a bitch, thank goodness I've only done it twice since having the beast.

Thanks BA looks like we made the same mistake and like you I have been around trucks and plant all my working life and I know the trucks we have now the most common breakdown which happens on a regular basis is always connected to adblue system,so I consider myself fortunate I don't have adblue on my benimar but if I replace it in the future I guess I will have to have it but maybe they will have sorted the problems by then.Howard,we bought a Challenger camper here in France on a Transit base,the base vehicle was built in Turkey in 2014 and we bought brand new in November last year.
There was no mention of Adblue at the time of handover.
I was surprised therefore on wading through the various handbooks that it said we needed it.
The filler was supposed to be adjacent to the diesel filler which on the transit is only accessible when you open the drivers door,nothing there but the filler.Why I was still searching was because in the glovebox was a plastic funnel in a bag.
I guess our vehicle was just before the changeover date and poor Mr Turk was just given a big bag of the funnels to put one in each glovebox.
I have been around transport and trucks all my life and it still made me look twice,an easy mistake you made and one that looks as though it has interested many other users unaware of this,enjoy your van.
