If the eco-diesel is a. .. urine

Could be recycling more environmentally friendly and intelligent an organic product: technology has indeed invented a urea-based additive (acid content in urine) to reduce harmful emissions from cars. This is a fluid obtained by synthesis from natural gas, mixed with diesel, can significantly reduce emissions of nitrogen oxide, a substance produced by combustion in diesel engines.

In short, a substance found in urine can "save the world" by the formation of ozone and acid rain, as explained largely by the EPA, the U.S. agency for environmental protection. Beware, though: no one try to consider your toilet tank as a motorway service area. This, in fact, require a tank ad hoc, when empty, to prevent the ignition of the vehicle.

Fortunately, a "full" of the drug lasts for about 15,000 km. This technology, which in technical terms is called SCR, has already been approved by Congress in Washington and is already used by Mercedes and Volkswagen, waiting for other manufacturers to adopt it.
