Modern diesel vehicles are equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to protect the environment. Here's what the filter does and how to clean it.

AP Exhaust Technologies has introduced a new line of Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) for replacement on Class 2 and 3 vehicles. Key applications include late model GM/Duramax, Dodge/Cummins, and Ford ...

The role of a DPF, or diesel particulate filter, in a modern automobile is an important one. As the name implies, the DPF works to filter out particulate matter in diesel vehicles — more specifically, ...

How DPFs trap soot and ash to reduce emissions. How regular maintenance acn prevent DPF failure and costly replacements. Signs of DPF issues that should prompt immediate attention. How proper oil and ...

We’re just now beginning to accept that we have to do things differently from what we have always done in order to maintain our aftertreatment systems. We’ve had 14 years to figure it out, yet diesel ...

Diesel trucks are built tough and can last up to five years without issue. However, I've worked on trucks — both professionally and in my garage — for a decade, and I've seen how long they can last ...

Emissions-reducing exhaust filters in aftertreatment systems, also known as diesel particulate filters, or DPFs, require periodic cleaning. Cleaning the exhaust filter, sometimes referred to as ...

The diesel particulate filter (DPF) has continued to improve over its 15-year existence. So have other components of aftertreatment systems (ATS) that help send cleaner exhaust through the DPF.

If you've been driving a diesel car made post-2007, you'll most likely be familiar with what a DPF is, as it became a legal requirement for all diesel cars at this point in the U.S. to be equipped ...

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is an important part of modern diesel vehicles that many people don’t understand. The DPF’s main job is to catch harmful soot and ash from the exhaust stream before ...

You may recall when the EPA mandated that, starting in 2007, all new on-highway diesel engines must limit the emission of particulate matter. To comply with this regulation, equipment makers ...

General Motors has been hard at work developing an aftertreatment system that incorporates an electrically heated diesel particulate filter. According to GM, this technology promises to cut the “fuel ...
