Don't put urea in the gas tank. It is an amonia type molecule that requires a catalytic converter to function.

The present emissions situation regarding diesels is insane and stupid. The cost of building a urea plant, production, packaging and shipping; produces far more pollution than the urea reduces. And the systems render the diesel far less fuel efficient. Thus, valuable fuel is being wasted and CO2 emmissions are increased so high that truckers are rebuilding old trucks rather than buying new ones (the only environmentally beneficial aspect of the EPA standard).

If you think you have a fuel problem, first check the ignition system when the motor is acting up. If that is good, make sure the fuel system doesn't have an air leak (some will suck air but not leak gasoline). Then pull a plug when the motor is stalling to check for a lean mxture.

Hope this helps.
