Actually, a properly set-up diesel is (and I've said this before) the
cleanest engine on the road.

That's a diesel with a cat and a Continuously Recirculating Trap (CRT)
for the particulates.

Trouble is, only trucks seem to have CRTs.

Less CO, less CO2, less NO and - unbelievably - less particulates than a
petrol engine.

Even more unbelievably, less particulate matter than even a *gas*
(natural or LPG) engine produces.

Just to add to the great diesel debate, the newer buses are much
cleaner, you can smell the diesel but it doesn't make you feel like
you're killing yourself by following one in quite the same way as the
old RMs.

 

I'm not sure about this

Really? I thought they'd been pensioned off by now - sometime last year,
iirc. They must be vastly reduced in numbers though.

 

There are still a surprising number around. I took one the other day. I
*do* like them, for ShiteoldBus values of "like".

I also thought they had all been re-engined with modern diesels, too.

Depends what you mean by modern. If you mean they still belch out
choking smoke then yes, they're bang up-to-date.
