Is there a diesel exhaust fluid cheat to bypass emission controls?
I’d like to find a way to bypass my emission controls for the sake of some modding I plan to do. Is there a diesel exhaust fluid cheat to bypass emission controls?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
While there are diesel exhaust fluid cheats to bypass emission controls, we do not recommend them. Doing so is illegal and can damage your car in the long run.
First off, you can receive a hefty fine for not meeting emissions standards. Secondly, you’re harming the environment by not keeping your emissions down. Third, bypassing emission controls can be complicated and is an easy way to damage your car’s central computer and speed up wear and tear.
Long story short: don’t do it!
