Giving you better mileage and engine performance
Thanks to the new Euro Emissions standards, the legislation which aims changes for vehicle emissions or 2009 and the years to come (specifically an 80% reduction in soot emissions), there will be an increase in the use of filter technology particulate filters in diesel vehicle exhausts – commonly called as diesel particulate filters or DPF. Black soots coming out of your exhaust tail are eliminated using the wall type DPF, also called as “traps” as it catches between 85 and 100% of the soots. Unfortunately, this can also hinder the vehicle’s performance and mileage. A DPF delete kit can address this issue by removing the DPF, thus improving fuel efficiency and the performance of the engine power. However, it is important to note that the kits are only legally used on off-road vehicles, and is prohibited for use in on-highway diesel vehicles.
This is how the kit works? The 6.4 DPF delete works just like any filter, such as the bag in your vacuum cleaner, for example, working to trap dirt and soot from the air of the exhaust into the filter. To ensure good engine performance, it is strongly advised to regularly clean the filter. An ash residue will be left in the filter as a process called “regeneration” will burn diesel particulates at very high temperature. However, despite the fact that DPF and catalytic converters can scrub away emissions, the process somehow invites a phenomenon called back-pressure, which is a result of the restriction of the flow of the gases out the exhaust as it leaves the combustion chamber. The system will force the gas to enter into the exhaust stack and be emitted through the tail pipe. The restriction of flow is often thought to be caused by DPF, as well as by catalytic converters, mufflers, and bends in the pipe.
As the back-pressure increases, it adds more pressure to the engine to work harder to release the used gas. As you increase the workload of your engine, the power delivered to the movement of the wheel is compromised as more fuel is injected to the engine. These combined factors reduce the performance of the engine. The DPF Delete kit eliminates the production of DPF resulting to the reduction of backpressure which translates to better engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Some independent tests run on engines after applying the DPF delete kits report a 26 to 47 percent increase in fuel mileage. While it’s true that emissions cleaners like DPF hampers the flow of the exhaust gas flow, it’s also true that free flow in big trucks is already built into the vehicle’s system. The kit also includes a flash device that reprogram the engine’s performance by boosting fuel efficiency using the truck’s on board computer. Thus, it would be safe to say that the DPF delete kit enhances overall performance by addressing these issues including the issue of back-pressure.
DPF Delete targets the problem of compromised engine power and poor mileage on off road diesel trucks.
