Essentially, your DPF has a small fire in it and may melt down or otherwise become unrestorable. This occurs when too much soot accumulates for too long in the filter. How do we avoid an uncontrolled regeneration? Passive regeneration occurs during normal driving conditions when the exhaust temperature is high enough to oxidize the particulate matter trapped in the filter, for example on long haul highway runs. In active regeneration, your engine deliberately increases exhaust temperatures to burn off the trapped particulates. This often involves injecting fuel into the exhaust system to raise temperatures. Active regeneration might be triggered automatically by your vehicle when needed, or you may start it yourself. Regular DPF maintenance recommended by your manufacturer will...
Or would you prefer that it's scheduled for you? You can prevent both engine damage and expensive downtime in peak season with a preventative maintenance plan. What are DPF’s? Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) filter soot from your diesel engine, ensuring a smoother ride for you and a cleaner, healthier environment for everyone around your vehicle. Regular maintenance is key to preventing issues and maximizing the lifespan of DPFs. Understanding the Importance of Clean DPFs Over time, DPFs can become clogged, leading to decreased efficiency, increased fuel consumption, irreparable damage to your DPF, and potential engine damage. How Preventative Maintenance Impacts Your Costs Extended DPF Lifespan: Regular maintenance, including periodic cleaning or restoration and inspections, can extend the lifetime...
A DPF system delete is a modification that removes the diesel particulate filter from the exhaust system and affects the exhaust process in vehicles. These DPF filters are responsible for trapping accumulated diesel soot and other particulates emitted by the diesel engines, and over time it can become a clogged DPF.
If you keep sending your DPF in to be “cleaned” and come away with frustration and financial strain that DPF issues can cause, you can get it restored instead. And while diesel particulate filter failures are rare at the DPF company, you only pay for successful restorations.
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...
