The Most Satisfying Clean | DPF Cleaning

Ever wonder what it looks like when we clean your DPF Filter?

Commenters are concerned about what happens to the water after it goes through the DPF. While you might think it just goes down the drain, it does not. The machine operates a closed-loop system so the water gets filtered, and used again. No soot or ash goes down the drain!

That was my toilet experience this morning. I feel so much better. Thanks for asking. 😃

And then that runoff is pumped directly into taps in Flint, MI 😊

It’s cool to see how much resistance that dpf filter actually has by holing back the water until the pressure pukes it forwards and immediately gets restrained again without high pressure.

[ChooseLanes]

it should be a free of charge service to clean these

Boy is that an easier/better way than I used to have to do it. ~14 years ago now I worked at a Cummins dealer, and part of my job was cleaning/inspecting DPF's. Our machine blew the soot out with compressed air though, and a 2nd part of it vacuumed it up. Then there was a kiln if you couldn't get it all out. What a disgusting mess it was!

[eddierad]

does it wash away the metals that are in a new oem dpf? I heard that the dpf filters have specific metals that are required to work as designed?? just wondering if the hype is true or not aswell

[tenentedoom]

how many times is pressure given with water? until only clear water comes out? thx

[nspro]

Is this after baking or just the way it came off the truck?

Was this filter plugged in bad condition or is this just a routine maintenance?

[levibaker]

What kind of valuable elements are they collectiong from this?

[andretorben]

Best way to clean them is to remove the internal contents so its a hollow canister, then re-install it so it looks like its still there. Never another blockage. Diesel comes from nature so its only right that it all goes back to nature.

Is it demineralized 'battery water'? Does your machine imitate a truck's exhaust pushing force at full throttle or how many times higher is it?

[herbbates]

Glad truck didn't need one, tired to talked my Cousin out of buying the 6.7 in his 07 when he had the choice between that and the 5.9, his was in the shop so many times he finely got rid of it, still have my 5.9 19 years miles later and hope to keep it another 20 years

[gregorymalchuk]

In principle, could this be used on plugged catalytic converters?

[truth.hurts...]

Can I do this even if my dpf isn't blocked what you charge

[davidfs.]

Where's this placed located.I need bring my dpf there

[DPFGuys]

Satisfying indeed but that is a Roadwarrior after market which is probably already cracked and failed by the time it gets to this point. (No shade against Roadwarrior, just that they are not designed to last as long as OEM and many of the other after-market filters)

[tenentedoom]

Last question, this type of cleaning leaves the catalytic converter with what percentage (%) of cleanliness in relation to a new catalytic converter? thank you very much

[tampabaybg]

I just bought a storage locker with like of these in it? I took them to a guy that sells semi's and he said they hadn't been cleaned. Do you buy them?

Let it soak in a bath of diesel for a day . Then after clean with brake cleaner . Works & is cheaper than buying new dpf filter . Also any remaining garbage will burn away :P
