What is a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)? - DPF Elite Restorations of Augusta

A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is an exhaust aftertreatment device designed to remove soot and particulate matter from the exhaust gas of a diesel engine. The filter works by trapping these particles in its porous walls, preventing them from being released into the atmosphere. This helps reduce harmful emissions and ensures the vehicle complies with environmental regulations. Over time, the trapped soot accumulates, and the DPF needs to be either cleaned or restored to maintain its effectiveness and keep the engine running efficiently.
