Diesel Particulate Filter Performance with Biodiesel Blends Project Objectives and Approach How are DPFs impacted by blending with biodiesel ?Williams, AaronMccormick, BobHayes, BobIreland, John
To put 0.3 microns in perspective, it's worth remembering that a typical human hair is roughly 50–150 microns in diameter, so a HEPA filter is trapping dust several hundred times thinner. The sooty particulates that spew from diesel car exhausts are generally described as coarse PM10 (...
In T4F engines, the diesel particulate filter (DPF) traps soot from engine exhaust gases. This filter must be periodically cleaned through regeneration to maintain emissions reduction performance and fuel efficiency. How often DPF regeneration must happen depends on several factors. These...
Hopefully prior to this your cars ECU will notice the build up and warm you to change your driving style to burn off the soot. The warning light comes on to show that you need to alter your driving style to clear the DPF filter URGENTLY and this should NOT BE IGNORED. The DPF may be...
*TR = Transmission where MT refers to manual transmission; AT to automatic transmission; **MRO = mass in running order; *** EGR = exhaust gas recirculation; DPF = diesel particulate filter; LNT = lean NOx trap; SCR = selective catalytic reduction; TWC = three-way catalyst; ASC = ammonia...
Particularly in Skoda, Vauxhall and Peugeot models, problems with the diesel particulate filter (DPF) can trigger the glow plug warning light. In this situation, the DPF, rather than the glow plugs, is causing limp mode. Find out the difference between glow plugs and spark plugs. What to do...
Diesel cars also use a particulate filter (DPF), which can become blocked and is expensive to replace. However, most issues can avoided by simply driving your car regularly.Click here for advice on DPF maintenance. Replace the spark plugs ...

Technology: After-treatment technologies are available to reduce harmful emissions from diesel engines (DOC – diesel oxide catalyst, DPF – diesel particulate filter, SCR – selective catalytic reduction, LNT – lean NOx trap), but they require more investment, leading eventually to higher costs. ...
