While many strides have been made to reduce the emissions from gasoline-powered vehicles, similar accomplishments have eluded diesel-powered vehicles. This is due, in part, to some of the impurities in diesel fuel, which heretofore have affected exhaust emission control devices. Through efforts by EPA and Diesel engine manufacturers fuel refineries, the emission from diesel-powered vehicles have been reduced, and are expected to be reduced significantly more by 2007.
