The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is one of the most misunderstood component on the motor vehicle. Many owners and fleet maintenance managers fail to understand that the DPF is not a maintenance free item. They see it as a service as needed component.
 

The DPF can be a trouble free item when properly maintained . Many think that cleaning the DPF simply consist of baking it at a very high temperature. Truth be told, to avoid shortening the life of the filter, it has to be baked in controlled stages. To get a properly cleaned filter, there are three steps that must be taken before baking the filter and three steps after baking it.
