So it is literally an after market governor that hamstrings your engine unless you put in DEF to meet some arbitrary EPA emission standards?
How is that not just a shadow green tax? Unless burning diesel without it is doing 1,000x more pollutant harm then any random regular gas ICE vehicle this seems like a tremendous government overreach.
Did a bit more research after asking so I now know that putting the DEF in with the fuel will utterly fuck the engine during the combustion process. However if it is only in the exhaust and is regulated by how hard the engine is running then it literally cannot directly impact the performance of the vehicle. Except with artificial limiters put in place.
