How to use a diesel particulate filter cleaner?

January 27, 2021 By Gauge Magazine

diesel particulate filter

The engine of an automobile needs cleaning from inside out. To help ease engine cleaning, a diesel particulate filter cleaner has been designed. It involves a chemical treatment that helps to decrease the ash emissions, which are produced by engine. Also, this filter cleaner removes any existing ash particles. In this way, the fuel consumption will be reduced, and the diesel particulate filter will last longer. Hence, the vehicle owner does not have to spend money on a new diesel particulate filter.

The best thing about a diesel particulate filter cleaner is that it does not require removing and dismantling the DPF itself, which is otherwise required in manual cleaning. As a greater number of soot particles are burnt in the filter at a faster pace, the efficiency of regeneration procedure will increase. The diesel particulate filter cleaning service in USA is helpful for all those vehicles that are mostly used for short distances inside the city. The drivers of those vehicles hardly depend on passive regeneration for cleaning the filter of their automobile.

The working of DPF cleaner is quite fast, so there is no need to sit and wait for hours to notice excellent outcomes. The process to use a diesel particulate filter cleaner is easy. Simply add the right quantity of cleaner into the fuel tank before filling it with diesel. After that, drive the car for approximately 15-20 minutes on a crowd-free road at a high speed by keeping the revs between 2-2.5 rpm. During that time, the cleaner will do its work in the filter and eliminate any surplus soot that has been accumulated there. The efficiency of DPF cleaner will be increased if the driver pours it on a vacant fuel tank and then immediately fill it with diesel.

Do not forget to keep the bottle of diesel particulate filter cleaner in your vehicle so that you can pour it in the fuel tank right before fueling it up. DPF cleaners are sold in handy bottles that are simple to carry and use by drivers. Nowadays, some DPF cleaner bottles also have a non-drip feature to avoid pouring the cleaner throughout the vehicle. Carefully read its label to know about the correct quantity of cleaner to be poured into the tank. It is important to add the correct quantity, otherwise you will not be able to get effective results.

The cleaner helps reduce ignition temperature of ash particles. It means exhaust does not need to be extremely hot for burning the soot particles. Thus, the passive regeneration occurs much easily, even for cars that do not travel at a high speed for long distances. Also, the time to finish regeneration cycle will be reduced, which prevents filter blockage. Ultimately, exhaust fumes will be released rapidly through the filter and there will be no soot particles. The entire procedure helps decrease fuel consumption. Diesel particulate filter cleaner is inexpensive and can easily replace DPF. Many drivers have found that the diesel particulate filter warning light vanishes within 10 to 15 minutes when DPF cleaner is poured into the tank.
