The trucking industry is constantly seeking ways to improve efficiency while minimizing costs. Fortunately, technology has provided valuable headways in that regard, including the use of fuel-borne catalysts (FBCs) to enhance the diesel particulate filters (DPF) function and improve soot loading and combustion in both semi-trucks and transport trucks. There are several fuel-borne catalysts out there from different manufacturers. While this means having more options, it also makes it challenging for truckers and fleet owners to choose the best diesel combustion improver for their on-road and off-road diesel vehicles and equipment.     Introducing the #1 Fuel Borne Catalyst If you are in the market for a fuel catalyst for your diesel vehicles and equipment with DPFs, then you should...

Understanding Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs): What They Are and Why Your Vehicle Needs One   DPF stands for diesel particulate filter, and as the name suggests, it stops tiny diesel particles (otherwise known as soot) that are emitted from your vehicle’s exhaust. If certain precautions are not adhered to, the way DPF’s work can create problems.      What is a DPF Filter? Diesel engines burn fuel a lot differently than gas engines. Soot is created as a result of the combustion process. This ultra-fine, nearly invisible material can cause serious environmental issues, it’s the DPF’s job to catch and destroy them before this happens.   DPF’s were standardized in 2009, but some vehicles had this technology before then.   ...
