What is a diesel particulate filter?
A diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a filter that captures and stores exhaust soot in order to reduce emissions of polluting particles. The particulate filter is a component that is installed in the vehicle's exhaust system. It is designed to trap soot particles and other pollutants found in vehicle exhaust.
Why is my DPF clogging?
A particulate filter becomes clogged due to the accumulation of particles inside it. The filter is designed to trap particles emitted by the vehicle's engine and prevent them from entering the atmosphere. The particles can be soot, ash, dust or other pollutants present in the exhaust gases. Over time, these particles build up inside the filter, reducing its ability to trap additional particles.
What are the consequences ?
If the filter is not cleaned or replaced regularly, this build-up of particles can eventually completely block the flow of air through the filter, resulting in reduced engine performance and increased pollutant emissions. Filter clogging can be accelerated by unfavourable driving conditions, such as repeated short journeys, city driving with frequent stops and starts, or prolonged use at low speed…
How do I clean my DPF?
FAP Cleaner® is a cleaning station for DPFS and catalytic converters. It provides a complete cleaning of the exhaust system using the "Hydrodynamic" cleaning technique. Compatible with all vehicles (petrol, diesel and hybrid), the cleaning operation is simple, fast and effective. No dismantling is required.
