The increase in popularity of diesel powered vehicles is well documented and the reasons for this is that in recent years, diesel engines, unlike in the past have evolved to perform more like traditional petrol engines, with the added benefit of vastly improved fuel economy.
The disadvantage of this however, is diesel exhaust emissions (black smoke) and so to improve the efficiency and exhaust gas emissions on modern diesel engines, manufacturers are now fitting Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) to such engines.
The DPF is fitted in the vehicles exhaust system and catches or collects exhaust gases and soot particles from the engine reducing exhaust gas emissions. As with all filters they need to be cleaned from time to time to prevent blocking.
A DPF is designed to normally be cleaned by the vehicle under certain driving conditions and this is normally at dual carriageway / motorway speed. If the filter is not cleaned it will eventually block causing operating
problems with the vehicle.
The Fortron Injector Max machine offers REGEN – a Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner – which provides a simple and effective method of cleaning the vehicle’s DPF, eliminating the need to remove or replace filters. DPF’s have a limited capacity to store particulates and if they become clogged or faulty, users may incur huge costs for replacement. This new DPF cleaner has been formulated to kick-start the forced regeneration of the DPF, clearing soot deposits and allows for cleaning without disassembly.
