While the diesel particulate filter itself requires little maintenance, proper attention to related systems will help avoid problems. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 2007 emissions ...

Careful DPF maintenance will boost both your uptime and bottom line. When the diesel particulate filter was introduced with the change to 2007 engine technology, manufacturers were careful to explain ...

Aftertreatment system maintenance is proving to be more costly than tire maintenance, making it possibly the single most expensive maintenance item on today’s trucks. Parts costs are prohibitive, the ...

Note: This is the third in a series that looks at the diesel particulate filter and maintenance best practices that an impact its lifecycle. The first installment, "Diesel coolant heaters boost DPF ...

Every truck manufactured with a 2007 and later diesel engine is equipped with a diesel particulate filter. Many bus fleets started using them in 2005. There are something like 2 million DPFs, as ...

Owners of diesel trucks are likely to seek methods of increasing performance and fuel economy and most probably may discover a bottleneck with the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). The DPF […] ...

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.

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 ...

Diesel particulate filters allow truck diesels to meet ever-tightening emissions standards and help engine makers tune to minimize diesel exhaust fluid consumption. The DPF’s job is similar to that of ...

Modern medium- and heavy-duty trucks have sophisticated exhaust aftertreatment systems that can include a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), diesel particulate filter (DPF) and selective catalytic ...
