Car Forum / Ford / Ford Cars / August 2004Catalytic converter on a diesel engine
What year did ford start fitting an Oxidation catalyst to its diesel cars? And does anyone know what is the expected life span of these catalyst? Peter In a perfect world It will not degrade. It's not just Ford ( actually not a Ford engine but Navistar if in the U.S. ), but many manufactures of diesel are using catalyst now because of tightening emission standards on diesels. Many are now equipped with EGR as well. > What year did ford start fitting an Oxidation catalyst to its diesel cars? > And does anyone know what is the expected life span of these catalyst? > > Peter > In a perfect world It will not degrade.

Being that the exhaust is an integral part of the engine system it can be considered to be fitted to the engine. Besides that, where does it say the catalyst is on the engine?
