<<When platinum is cheap>> Platinum is cheap. Platinum should be at USD 9,000/oz when gold is at 900. Platinum might hit USD 60k/oz soon enough. <<diesel ...

What do you think of the Urea solution for diesel engine particulates as used in Europe and proposed for the US by Daimler, Cummins, Caterpillar, Detroit Diesel, Ford, General Motors, and Toyota. The EPA is concerned consumers will not replace urea, as the car won't run without diesel, but without a urea refill it will simply run dirty. en.wikipedia.org findarticles.com edmunds.com One gallon of urea per 20 gallons of diesel. Providing 5% fuel economy over particulate filters and recirculation systems, it is less expensive at a retail urea cost of $1 per gallon. .

LPG motorists given explosion warning February 2, 2007 - 4:34PM Motorists whose cars are powered by LPG are being warned to check their gas tanks amid fears a faulty valve could spark an explosion. The Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce (VACC) issued the warning on Friday following ten LPG tank ruptures nationally. Cars affected are those with Manchester brand LPG autogas cylinders fitted between August 2003 and March 2005, or older cylinders of any brand re-tested between November 2002 and August 2005. It is unknown how many cars are affected. VACC executive director David Purchase said tanks at risk carried a SIDEK brand valve with the encryption: SIDEK PRX, AGA 6394, 2.55 MPa on top. "Essentially, this is a serious fault with the potential for serious injury and property damage," Mr Purchase said. Those affected should have their tank checked by a registered LPG installer as soon as possible. The VACC urges motorists at risk not to fill their tanks above three-quarters until they have been checked. © 2007 AAP
