Both the puma/transit 2.4 and the TD5 are high pressure commonrail EFI diesels.
Both are Euro IV emissions compliant (maybe not early TD5s in OZ???).
Emissions control is via high pressure, computer controlled injection, in conjunction with EGR.
The Oil centrifuge fitted to the TD5 reduces soot buildup in the engine, but will have little-no effect on soot emissions from the exhaust (except in reduceing weaqr and thereby long term emissions).
The Puma/transit 2.4 may have a bypass filter?
