WTF? lol Todays diesels with the urea injection are cleaner than their gasoline counterparts. As for the fuel itself, it is hard to believe it is any less harmful than gasoline. Don't drink it or swim in it and you should be fine.

Word has it saliva causes cancer. But only when consumed in small quantities over long periods of time.
