How Does My DPF Work?
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) in your heavy-duty truck is designed to absorb diesel particulate matter and soot. Your DPF is mounted directly to your exhaust piping, meaning all of your exhaust must travel through it before exiting the system. As your DPF simply stores soot rather than removes it, it needs to be cleaned out every few years. Some DPFs have auto-cleaning features, but most need to be manually cleaned by a mechanic.
The Danger of Exhaust Leaks
Many assume exhaust leaks are nothing more than a simple annoyance. However, we’re here to tell you that’s not the case. Exhaust leaks are actually quite dangerous as they increase the chances of emissions entering your passenger compartment. Diesel engine emissions are carcinogenic and can cause a wide array of health issues for drivers and passengers.
