I realise that there are medical issues associated with this topic, but I suspect your auto correct has misunderstood what you wanted to say.

The Hippocratic Oath is an oath historically taken by physicians. It is one of the most widely known of Greek medical texts. In its original form, it requires a new physician to swear, by a number of healing gods, to uphold specific ethical standards.

I assume you were concerned about being hypocritical.

I would ask for it not to be fixed.

I highly doubt you can do this with a modern diesel. This is the inside of the exhaust of my Skoda. Yes a VW Diesel. I could probably find a old picture of my WRX. My Diesel Skoda will stay this clean for well over 3 months or 6000 - 7000km. Then it tarnishes and I need to polish it again. My Petrol WRX would be dirty in 2 tanks of fuel.



Here is an old photo with it about as dirty as it gets. I have no idea why I was taking this photo



Yes I know the Nox emission is about smaller particles that we wont see.

Here is another dirty one of my Skoda. It's not overly clear but you can see the inside of the exhaust is not black.



And yes same tips on my WRX

How's that? I have followed my Yeti numerous times and there is not a hint of visible smoke or anything else out the pipe. Even when my wife is leaving me for dead off the lights and I'm in the Disco.

Not many long hills here in Darwin though but I dont recall it from when we lived in Canberra.



Happy Days.
