Engines are retuned to provide 0.0001% extra power

Possibly, if it is an old worn out vehicle.

 

Newer vehicles, Diesel tuners dump more fuel in to make more power, the black smoke is unburnt combustion.

I've heard it's deliberate because they think the smoke looks cool.  I'm not sure about adding power.

They're getting a concentrated dose, but you're getting a pretty good amount whenever you're outside without a mask on.

I'm a cyclist in Thailand and I get blasted with smoke in the face all too often (twice today actually!) and the worst is when you're going up a mountain going slow and breathing heavy. 

 

Usually it's just people that can't afford to have a truck but need it for work and are hauling heavy things. These things are so run down it doesn't surprise me.

 

The ones that get me are all the SUVs that don't even look that old yet are spewing smoke. Of course this is illegal they like everything else they simply do not enforce it. If you can afford that SUV you should be able to maintain it or be taken off the road out of respect for the rest of us.

Never saw this in the US. I thought they weren't changing their oil or something. So many people have nice cars but it's all debt so can they really afford to maintain the cars? Probably not is my guess.

If only Thailand had a police force!  I bet the number of deaths from pollution dwarfs Covid & daily accident figures.

I used to get pulled over at random inspection points around Bangkok when I drove my vintage diesel Mitsubishi Cyclone.  One of the cops would hop in and tap the throttle, with another watching the tailpipe.

 

If I spoke Thai, they'd have probably let me tap the throttle.  (Or "rack" as appropriate for diesels)

 

Then they'd send me on my way.

You see it in the US but they won't go far without being pulled over and warned to get it fixed. It's mostly vehicles with extreme mileage where oil gets past the rings, so it needs major work, which most here can't afford. It can also be a bad fuel/ air mixture. Everyday you see all types of vehicles smoking and are never pulled over, as far as we can see, as they pass the police just like the countless without helmets. Just like back home, you'll see people with a run down house but a Cadillac or nice pickup.

Yep, folks just down the road from us live in a rusty tin shack with plastic taped over the unglazed windows, yet have two new low-rider pickups in front with extra wide tires and ground effects and undercarriage LED's and boomboom system.

 

Priorities.

 

Reminds me of living in Albuquerque.

How do they get around the yearly test?

 

Don't tell me.........Bht 500.

Fun facts to know and tell... 

 

Diesel power ratings are based on the onset of excess smoke from the exhaust.  They can make more than their rated power, but only by rolling some coal. Which is generally frowned upon by polite society.

 

Who'd a known that some of those college ME labs from over 45 years ago would still be stuck in memory.
