Dpf full

[glasshouse]

How does one empty a dpf?

 

[smcapstick]

Take it off and take it to a DPF cleaning place.
Our local one is Driveline in Lancaster.

How does one empty a dpf?

Take it for a chemical clean , no need to remove it , get the egr deleted while it's there

How does one empty a dpf?

Depends what it's full of... a) ash residue from being in service a long time, or b) soot from failed regenerations.

Take it apart and -officially- have it cleaned by a specialist. Once back on the vehicle, if previous answer was

a) - tell ecu is has a new DPF and reset the adaptions. Drive merrily on.
b) - resolve issue as to why it was not regenerating of its own accord.

Depends upon the age of the vehicle....

Nice, shiny, and modern; professional chemical clean, and laptop to delete the pointless anti pollution bollox invented by the petroleum industry to appease the masses while increasing profits

Older like my d40 nissan navara; take the dpf off, then insert sharp end of a dung grab tine at high velocity, and smash the bestard internals to bits. Refit, and enjoy trouble free improved mpg.....

..... Until the chassis rots through, and breaks in two

Buy a can of dpf cleaner and spray it into the correct place.

Thrash the rubbish off your vehicle for a few days. Repeat a couple of times, works a treat.

You’ll get strange looks from neighbours as you drive by them for the umpteenth day in a row in bottom gear at 3500 rpm, but it does work.

Smile to yourself that you’ve spent next to nothing and beaten the system.

Done that before yes it works but it does seem odd to thrash it around for a bit doing extra miles that shouldn't need travelling all to save the environment

I used to just travel on duel carriageway or motorway in 3rd gear for a few miles
Look for the puffs of black crap coming out of the exhaust
Job done

A dpf traps the soot to burn off. Shouldnt be any black out the tailpipe - if there is youve got bigger issues

This was on the old ranger
Not had any issues with newer one
Yet

Aye, as above. Constant revs and load until it regerates it's self. Heard that some vehicles only regenerate if they have more than half a tank of diesel in but that could just be a myth?
Egr delete is highly recommended, made my Isuzu more predictable to drive.

There are many other pre-requisites to enable a regen, not just certain rpm and road speed.

I feel fortunate that my 2 year old Kubota was not fitted with that carp when it was made and I've never had a diesel car.
