The Diesel Particulate Filter has to be cleaned regularly simply with a water HP cleaner.
Advantages

-Reduce by up to 90% the Diesel exhaust particles emissions.
-On-board diagnostic system that monitor the condition of the DPF and alarm the operator in case of issue before serious and expensive failure occur.
Customer values
