I didn't know about diesel exhaust fluid until this thread.  I read a lot.  I do not read about diesel engines, or cars generally as a matter of course.  I read about other things, but not that.  Why would I?  Cars are not inherently interesting to me.  I use them.  Since I don't drive diesels, I have no need to know about diesel exhaust fluid.  mcneely
