Do you want to maintain your diesel particulate filter preventively and postpone the filling of the particulate filter? Then you can use Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner Preventive. This is a preventive cleaner that extends the service life and also supports the proper functioning of the particulate filter. This additive prevents an increase in fuel consumption and loss of performance. The replacement of an expensive part such as the particulate filter, as a result of clogging, is further postponed. And in this way you contribute to the sustainable use of parts.

Cleaning a diesel particulate filter that is partially clogged with Bardahl DPF Cleaner
To reduce emissions and meet international environmental standards, Bardahl Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) has been developed. It removes soot from the exhaust gases of diesel engines. Soot is caused by the incomplete combustion of the diesel fuel. A problem with the particulate filter arises as soon as ash and contamination accumulate in the particulate filter and eventually clog the pores. The 'blockage' will eventually lead to a sharp increase in NOx emissions and fuel consumption will increase.
Regular maintenance of the particulate filter is necessary to prevent an emergency run, as described above. Diesel engines with a diesel particulate filter are equipped with an automatic regeneration program. This means that temporarily more fuel is injected into the engine, in order to achieve a higher combustion temperature and thus destroy the build-up of particles.
But this can also result in the problem of unburned fuel being mixed with engine oil in the lower part of the engine, possibly resulting in damage. Moreover, such regeneration is not always possible because many cars are used in the city and many are stuck in traffic jams. As a result, the necessary temperature at which the particles are burned is not reached.
