A Bamboo Carbon Filter for Diesels Could Reduce Emissions

Cars That Think

Although the pollutant emissions of a diesel engine are less than those of a gasoline one, it still emits carcinogens, nitrous oxides, and soot. Because the particles are so small, they can pass easily through a catalytic converter, which is designed to reduce a vehicle’s toxic emissions.

Study of emissions from CNG- and gasoline-fueled autorickshaws suggests measurements and data, not assumptions, should drive policy

Green Car Congress

Of the four-stroke vehicles, a subset also has functioning backup gasoline fuel systems.) When the four-stroke auto-rickshaws were separated into “new” and “old” groups and their emissions compared by fuel type, no significant difference was observed for any exhaust constituents except for NO x from the gasoline-fueled vehicles.
