Not All Diesel Particulate Filters Are The Same
Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) can vary greatly. Sponsored by AP Emissions.
VIDEO: Diesel Particulate Filters And Regeneration Cycles
Jason Stahl discusses diesel fuel systems, and the ideal time to perform a regeneration cycle, if the vehicle is able to perform the procedure. Sponsored by Standard.
Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration: When, Where And Why?
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a ceramic brick with tiny passages that do two things. First, they trap the particulates or soot in the exhaust. Second, these passages create the surface area for the precious metal that helps to burn or break down the particulates. Think of it as a catalytic converter that traps and oxidizes particulates in the exhaust. But, the DPF regenerates in intervals rather than all the time like those found on gasoline vehicles.
AP Exhaust Technologies Introduces New Diesel Particulate Filters For Light- And Medium-Duty Vehicles
This Class 2 and 3 DPF launch represents the initial offering for a comprehensive diesel program from AP Exhaust.
Diesel Particulate Filters: Regeneration
The increased use of EGR valves has led to a bigger problem with soot. So, in order to trap the soot, the government has mandated that all trucks built after Jan. 1, 2007, have a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and a catalytic converter. In simple terms, the DPF is a huge screen that traps the soot coming from the engine. This filter looks like a rocket shell underneath newer trucks. The DPF has temperature sensors and pressure tubes used by the PCM to help in determining when the DPF screen is full. When the DPF needs cleaning it undergoes what is called “regeneration.”

No matter the symptoms or damaged parts, the root cause of the failure must be diagnosed and resolved.
MagnaFlow Launches DPF-Back Exhaust For 2018-2019 Ford F-150 Diesel Trucks
This new exhaust system utilizes 4″ tubing, welded intercooled tips to enhance exhaust aesthetics, all in a simple, clamp-on exhaust configuration that provides the signature MagnaFlow sound. The dual tip DPF-back system is available with 5″ polished tips and 5″ black coated tips.
Understanding Diesel Exhaust Filters
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a ceramic filter that has thousands of tiny channels or honeycomb-shaped openings that trap the soot onto the channel walls and prevent the particulate matter (down to 1 micron) from exiting out the tail pipe.
MANN+HUMMEL Announces New Brake Dust Particulate Filter
MANN+HUMMEL has designed new brake dust particulate filter that it says substantially reduces the particulates created while braking. According to the company, braking in city traffic creates significantly more dust than exhaust emissions. Every braking action creates brake dust through friction on the brake disc and brake pads. This is mainly comprised of particulates, and
