Despite higher traffic and all that, acid rain is now less of a problem, but that didn't come magically - it is because of better fuels, pollution control systems in cars, and in the industry.

My understanding of acid rain is it's caused mostly the sulfur from coal plants.

They can / should wash their gases before emitting them into the atmosphere.
We have to do so at work to get rid of gasses containing sulphur.

I never advocated "throwing out all the emissions control gear from our cars", so please don't put words in my mouth. I am not ripping out the catalytic converters from my vehicles, and certainly not disabling EGR or evaporative controls on my gasser.

But you are knowingly disabling a pollution control system - and unfortunately enough, you're not the only one on this forum to do so.

If you are reasonable I think you will find my actions are proper enough, regardless of whether you agree with me specifically.

It's a good thing you're running on B100 as it has great advantages over regular diesel - I wish I could - but why negate a good part of that effort by putting out more NOx
