DPF PARTICULATE FILTER DELETE ON DETROIT ENGINES

Even a small increase in engine efficiency may make a big difference. Saving money on gasoline may help cut down on overhead expenses, getting rid of specific components can improve performance and save down on maintenance, and custom tuning an engine can increase power. Diesel Spec takes great pride in providing engine tuning and deletion services for a wide range of engine makes and models, including International.

Diesel particulate filter deletion is one of the services we provide. Despite the component’s best efforts, it frequently proves to be more hassle than it is worth in the long run. By removing it, the potential harm it can do can be avoided, and owner-operators and fleet managers will also get some extra advantages.

WHAT IS THE DPF FILTER?

A diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a device that is designed to remove soot and other particulates from the exhaust gases of a diesel engine. The DPF works by trapping the particulates in a porous ceramic or metal substrate, which prevents them from being released into the atmosphere.

DPFs are typically installed in the exhaust system of a diesel vehicle and are designed to meet emission standards set by regulatory agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States and the European Union (EU).

DPFs require periodic maintenance, including cleaning or replacement, in order to continue functioning effectively. This can be a costly process, as the DPFs are often located in difficult-to-reach areas of the vehicle and may require specialized equipment to service.

While DPFs are an important component of a vehicle’s emission control system, some vehicle owners choose to remove them, a process known as a DPF delete. This is generally illegal and can result in increased emissions and decreased fuel efficiency. It may also void the vehicle’s warranty and cause engine damage.
