Understanding Diesel Particulate Filters
A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is an essential emissions control component found in modern diesel vehicles. Introduced as part of the Euro 5 emissions standards in 2009, DPFs are designed to capture and store exhaust soot, preventing harmful particulates from being released into the environment.
Why Were DPF's Introduced?
Why Do DPF's Get Blocked?
Short journeys – The DPF cannot reach high enough temperatures to regenerate.
Poor-quality fuel – Low-grade diesel can increase carbon buildup.
Faulty engine components – Issues with injectors, EGR valves, or turbochargers can lead to excessive soot formation.
Ineffective driving habits – Stop-start driving without periodic motorway runs can prevent proper regeneration.
DPF Frequently Asked Questions
The most common signs of a DPF being blocked include:
- DPF Warning Light being illuminated on the vehicle dashboard
- Limp mode, reduced acceleration or loss of engine power.
- Increase fuel consumption.
