Any DPF issues in Raby could cause your vehicle to emit unwanted diesel particulate matter into the air. Emissions are strictly controlled and this could lead to a fine. Diesel particulate filters usually remove 85 % or more of the soot produced by the engine. This can sometimes even approach 100 %. Some filters are designed to be replaced when they are full of ash and others burn off the ash through the use of a catalyst or by means of a fuel burner that heats the filter to soot combustion temperatures. This is accomplished by engine programming which runs when the filter is full. Fuel is allowed into the exhaust to react with a catalyst element to burn off the soot in the filter.
If your diesel vehicle is puffing smoke from the exhaust in Raby, DPF issues may be the cause. Cleaning is required as part of regular maintenance and must be done carefully, preferably by a professional to avoid any damage to the filter. If the fuel injectors or turbo charger is faulty it can result in contamination of the filter with raw diesel or engine oil which needs to be removed. If the vehicle is regularly driven in low speed environments it will accumulate soot at a high rate and will need to be drive at higher speeds periodically to enable the filter to self clean. Some diesel particulate filters can be cleaned and reused but others need to be replaced to ensure they work correctly.
