LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Have any of our shops bought a DPF Cleaner? I'm interested in seeing them in action and if they really do the job their supposed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Amacker Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 The Cleveland School Board has one, and yes, it works. It is the air pulse style, not the huge dollar oven that bakes the carbon out of them. Our local IH dealer takes clogged DPFs there because there's no other quick way to clean them. There's a picture of it in Keith's DPF article: http://www.forddoctorsdts.com/articles/article-07-03.php Does it make them as good as new? Probably not. If the DPF is packed with coke it will need to be baked in an oven to burn the coke into ash. It does make them serviceable again, though.

Aaron Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 There is a local company here in Windsor that has both styles, Larry. Next time you get a Holiday over there you should come check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseldoc Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 We have one at our dealership. It to is an air pulse style unit with a vacuum in it I believe. Sounds like a muffled shotgun every minute or so. We have had good luck with it so far. We have not had any really nasty DPF's yet though.
