Replace, delete or clean a clogged diesel particulate filter? The options compared, plus the main features of MSG’s MS900 DPF cleaning machine.
A diesel particulate filter (DPF) traps most of the soot in exhaust gas, so it needs cleaning over time. When automatic regeneration fails, symptoms can include higher fuel consumption, loss of power and heavy smoke.
According to the article, replacing the filter is expensive and removing it harms the environment. Cleaning with dedicated equipment leaves engine settings and warranty intact, keeps emissions compliant and costs little.
- Cleaning takes roughly 35–50 minutes for car filters and 50–80 minutes for heavy trucks
- Selectable flushing/drying modes by filter type, automatic operation
- Mains water connection, adjustable water temperature and fast drying
