The Benefits of Detroit DPF Delete

The diesel particulate filter is designed to reduce harmful soot and exhaust contaminants from entering the atmosphere. That’s why it has become a standard component on most diesel engine vehicles. However, this component is also very problematic because the DPF needs to be cleaned once every 300 miles or so to properly remove contaminants and ensure the filter doesn’t clog. The DPF isn’t cleaned manually; instead, it’s cleaned automatically via a process known as “regeneration.” In order for regeneration to occur, however, the vehicle needs to be traveling at a speed of over 45 miles per hour for a consistent 15 to 30 minutes or so. That’s because enough heat needs to be generated for the process to occur, and the process lasts for several minutes. Based on these factors that are needed for regeneration to occur, the DPF is often difficult to clean. This is especially true for vehicles that normally don’t travel at consistent speeds for elongated periods of time. And when regeneration cannot occur, problems arise. These problems can impact the engine components and the engine itself (not to mention the DPF).

With all this being said, there are several benefits to having DPF delete performed:

• Better fuel economy: When regeneration occurs, excess fuel is used to “burn” the particulates that have accumulated in the filter. Hence, deleting the DPF almost always leads to a noticeable improvement in fuel economy.
• Better engine performance: To a certain extent, the DPF restricts engine performance.
• Fewer maintenance costs: In addition to the havoc a clogged or heavily soiled DPF filter can wreak on the engine and the engine components, it can also require the complete replacement of the DPF itself. These are all unnecessary maintenance costs that users and fleet managers can save on with DPF delete.
