DPF Delete targets the problem of compromised engine power and poor mileage on off road diesel trucks

Many new diesel trucks now include filter technology, more particularly, a device called diesel particulate filter otherwise known as DPF.the designers of the kit will guarantee the elimination of the soot of so called diesel particulate and drastically improve the color of the smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. New environmental laws requires manufacturers to strictly comply with stringent standards on particulate emissions from diesel engines. Unfortunately, the process that ensues hampers power and fuel mileage in the vehicle, which is the problem that DPF delete kits address.

A process called regeneration burns accumulated soots that the DPF traps in the exhaust, resulting to an almost clear exhaust. The onboard computer found on the vehicle will have passive or active control. Among other things, the process introduces the concept ofback pressure, which is what happens when the spent gases in the exhaust are hampered by the tight bends in the piping or air vents for example. While others said the regeneration process has affected the fuel efficiency of their vehicle as power and fuel are greatly compromised. Eliminating the back pressure problem with DPF delete, thus freeing up the engine to work better, sends more power to the wheels, and allows it to burn less fuel. Several independent studies show an marked improvement to their fuel consumption between 4 and 7 mpg.

A standard DPF delete kit wouldusually include a DPF delete pipe, a touch screen programmer, aluminized or stainless exhaust and muffler, dual tailpiles catalytic converter delete pipe and standard tunes. The user may decide the component of the kit depending on the driver’s modification requirement as well as the improvement needed on the vehicle.

Manufacturers of DPF delete pipes, which function as direct bolt on replacement for the factory DPF, also claim that installation of the device can increase as much as 300 horsepower and500 lb/ft oftorque at the same time.The pipes can be used on Ford 6.4L Powerstroke , GM LMM 6.other diesel engines.7L Cummins Diesel engines, without having to use any check engine codes.

The law only allows DPF Delete Kits to be used in off-road diesel-engined vehicles because it interferes with emissions. Any on-highway vehicles caught using DPF Delete kits will be apprehended and the driver of the vehicle will be meted a fine.. Do not try to make alterations on the kits’ components or the warranty on the exhaust stack and EGR and turbo will be voided. Some users seem to believe that the level of improvement on engine performance is substantial enough and worth risking the engine warranty on their own work vehicles.
