You are talking about a light-duty diesel engine. That is were we got mixed up. EPA07 is a Heavy Duty emission regulation and doesn't apply to light-duty engines. I thought you were saying Ford was putting diesel particulate filters on their Ford HD trucks 7 years before they were required.
Also Euro 3 Light Duty diesel regulations are completely different from Euro 3 for Heavy Duty diesels. LD diesels got particulate filters years before HD diesels.
