Diesel engines are known for their durability and efficiency, but they can also produce higher levels of soot and emissions compared to gasoline engines. To tackle this, modern diesel vehicles are equipped with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), a crucial component for reducing the harmful particulates emitted into the environment. But what exactly does a DPF do, and how does it work? What is a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)? A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a specialized filter installed in the exhaust system of diesel vehicles. Its primary function is to trap and store soot particles produced by diesel combustion, preventing them from being released into the atmosphere. Over time, the DPF collects these particulates, and to prevent clogging, it must regularly burn off the trapped soot—a process known as "regeneration." DPFs became more common ... read more
