Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
As funny as it sounds, that's what they are testing in California. I'll let you just read the press release.

Chevron Products Company announced today the launch of a lower-emissions fuel for diesel engines. Proformix™, a new cost-effective, cleaner-burning fuel, significantly reduces particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). Chevron is introducing the new fuel in limited quantities to on- and off-highway commercial customers in Southern California.
“Proformix™ fuel instantly reduces emissions from most existing diesel engines without hardware add-ons, engine modifications or replacements required by many other diesel fuel alternatives,” said Sheila Taylor, vice president of U. S. Marketing, Chevron Products Company. “It is a ‘fill-and-go,’ practical solution for our commercial customers to reduce emissions. ”
Using this technology through an agreement with The Lubrizol Corporation, a fluid technology company specializing in high-performance chemicals, systems and services, Chevron has taken a lead in bringing lower-emissions diesel emulsion fuel to outhern
California.
Proformix™ is a “water-in-fuel” diesel blend that utilizes Lubrizol’s PuriNOx™ Technology to lower PM and NOx emissions in diesel engines. The California Air Resources Board (ARB) verified the emission benefits of the technology with data showing PM reduction of 63 percent and NOx reduction of 14 percent.
The fuel is created using a high-speed blending process that creates water droplets under one micron in size. These droplets are encapsulated by additives that prevent them from coalescing, making them invisible to the engine while improving combustion to reduce emissions.
Proformix™ is initially available to commercial accounts at Chevron’s Montebello, Calif. terminal. The product is marketed to on- and off-highway commercial customers with centrally fueled fleets or equipment, including buses, waste management fleets, agricultural/construction equipment and stationary power generators.
Proformix™ fuel can benefit the environment and provide customers with an effective way to meet air quality objectives. Proformix ™ reduces both NOx and PM emissions
simultaneously. Current available test data on alternative fuels such as Bio-diesel and ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel) have shown no similar reduction in NOx emissions.
Waht do you guys think about it? Anyone know more about it?
