"They put cats on diesels now?
What next, spraying pee pee into the exhaust?"

This has to be a sarcastic comment (and you've heard of AdBlue), please respond as I can't believe this is a incredible coincidence?

"What Does AdBlue Do?
Used in conjunction with a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) converter, AdBlue has a profound effect on otherwise difficult to control oxides of nitrogen (NOx) diesel emissions. On average, NOx emissions are reduced on the order of approximately 80 percent. The AdBlue solution is comprised of 32.5 percent high purity urea diluted in distilled water and carried onboard the diesel vehicle in a special independent tank. Under the direction of the onboard computer and an NOx sensor, the fluid is pumped into the exhaust stream at the rate of 2 to 4 ounces to a gallon of ultra low sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD) consumed. And it is here, in the hot exhaust stack, where the urea solution is converted into ammonia (NH3) which reacts with NOx in the exhaust. The resulting chemical break down and re-bonding of the constituent elements of each reactant produces plain nitrogen and water vapor."
