EGR Delete: The Basics

The EGR, or exhaust gas recirculation, is a component that comes integrated in most diesel engine vehicles. It’s designed to reduce emissions and accomplishes this by recirculating a portion of the exhaust emissions back into the engine. Though this system has good intentions, it’s also very problematic. For starters, the carbon deposits in the exhaust emissions can clog up parts of the engine, causing it to run inefficiently. Not only does this decrease fuel economy, but it can also increase the likelihood of repair and premature engine failure. Whether it’s a decrease in fuel economy or having to take it into the shop frequently, these are both factors that impact an owner-operator or fleet manager’s bottom line. These issues with the EGR are why many elect to have it deleted altogether, and having the right service company at your disposal makes the process fast, easy and efficient.

Benefits of EGR Delete

As we noted above, one of the key benefits to EGR delete is reducing the maintenance that your Detroit Diesel engine will likely require as the carbon deposits accumulate in the engine. Though maintenance is part of being an owner-operator or fleet manager, unexpected maintenance can put a damper on profits and take vehicles out of service for elongated periods of time. Hence, eliminating the EGR can help diesel owners better avoid unexpected maintenance. A few other benefits to EGR delete include:

• Improved fuel economy: When the carbon deposits accumulate in the engine, it runs less efficiently. By eliminating the problems associated with the EGR, the engine runs cleaner and cooler – all of which translate to an improvement in fuel economy. Being that fuel is a large overhead cost for fleet managers and owner-operators, even a marginal improvement can make a big difference in a company’s bottom line.
• Improved engine performance: Deleting the EGR is also linked to an improvement in engine performance, particularly when it comes to engine response.

As you can see, EGR delete has its benefits, and at Diesel Spec, we’re proud to perform this service on various tuning Detroit Diesel engine models. For more information, contact us today.
