FAQs
What is a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)?
A DPF is a filter in the exhaust system of diesel vehicles designed to capture soot particles. It periodically burns off this collected soot in a process called regeneration to stay clear.
How often should I use this DPF cleaner?
For best results and preventative maintenance, it is recommended to use the product every 3,000 km.
Can I use this cleaner in my petrol car?
No, this product is exclusively for diesel vehicles equipped with a DPF. It is not suitable for petrol engines or diesel vehicles without a DPF.
What is the recommended dosage?
Add half of the contents (150ml) to a minimum of 30 litres of diesel fuel in the fuel tank.
What should I do if I accidentally put it in a car without a DPF?
If this occurs, do not start the engine. It is best to drain the fuel tank and refill with fresh diesel fuel. Seek professional advice immediately.
How long does it take to see results?
The cleaner begins working as soon as the treated fuel is combusted. Noticeable improvements in performance or a cleared warning light may depend on driving conditions after application and the severity of the initial blockage.
