Ozone produced by lightning is harmless to mankind and wildlife. Ozone produced by sparks inside petrol engines is contaminated with other harmful substances after being subjected to extreme heat. Ozone produced by arc welders using electric welding rods is harmful if they should inhale it.The motor car industry has spent huge sums of money over the last 60-years on perfecting the diesel engines fitted to modern cars. I cannot see many people giving their diesels the elbow in favour of petrol engines. There are many advantages and associated reliabilities associated with the use of a diesel.
If hauliers we to start using petrol engines again then a loaf of bread might cost us around 20-quid.
Don’t you think that a lightning bolt creates ‘extreme heat’.While whatever residue is left over after petrol combustion is a lot less harmful to health than diesel.

As for perfecting diesel exhaust clean up yes we know like the VW emissions issue.In addition to the costs of purchasing and maintaining it all.While the end result is still a dirtier result than petrol is capable of.With very little difference in fuel consumption between the latest petrol designs v diesel.
As for fuel efficiency for commercial vehicles assuming LPG not petrol it’s a fuel costing around half as much for an actual overall improvement in efficiency when burn’t in the same engine.
That’s all even before the government rightly start hitting diesel with punitive taxation measures to get the things off the road.Hopefully that will happen, before the government gets the chance to use dirty diesel fuelled engines as an excuse to ban all Internal Combustion engines thereby removing the choice for all of us.
