I came across the web site for the company making PuriNOx a while back when searching for info on another subject. As I recall (I was reading lots of info on that search) PuriNOx is only sold to fleet operations at this time and not to the public. It seemed there were no modifications needed to run PuriNOx, as the person quoted in your article stated. I also recall that performance was similar to or a bit better than regular diesel fuel. Do a search for PuriNOx and you'll find their web site and probably other info about this fuel from other sources.

It was my understanding that diesel powered vehicles are exempt from tailpipe emission testing.

I think it depends on where you are.
California smogs g@$$ers that were built after 1973 every 2 years. They don't do diesels at all...unless they're starting to do new diesels. I've never been asked for anything for either of my '84's, other than $$ (for a commercial-plate 3/4 ton truck, a lot of $$ ). I'v eheard that some states are starting to do opacity tests on diesels...basically shining a light through the exhaust and measureing how much light passes through the fumes. If not enough light goes through, you're in trouble... Just another symptom of the general dieselphobia so obvious to most of America...too bad really; diesels are cleaner overall than g@$$ers...

I saw a news report on that stuff about 3 years ago. I believe that they called it the new fuel. Back then, the inventor was going through problems fighting the big oil companies trying to get his product out into the public. The stuff works. I've seen it work in big rigs and I'm sure it will work in cars too.
