A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) or soot filter captures the soot emissions of a diesel engine to reduce carbon emissions from diesel cars. It is a compulsory piece of the diesel engine and is illegal to remove and costly to replace. If there is a defect or if the particulate filter does not work properly, clean it with a DPF cleaning additive first. Using additives as a preventative measure can help stop the particulate filter from breaking down prematurely and costly repairs from having to be carried out.
What happens if your diesel particulate filter is blocked?
Soot accumulates in the filter and is regularly regenerated through combustion. To regenerate, the engine and the soot filter must be hot. If the vehicle often makes short trips, the filter does not become hot enough and soot is not regenerated which blocks the DPF.
If the diesel particulate filter does not function properly, a car will not pass its MOT. This is where our powerful diesel particulate filter cleaning comes into play. DPF cleaning additives such as JLM Diesel DPF Cleaner and JLM Diesel DPF Cleaning & Flush Fluid Pack clean contaminated soot filters and keep properly functioning diesel particulate filters clean.
