TROUBLESHOOTING DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTERS
Although internal combustion engines are compact, lightweight and reliable sources of power, one of their downsides is the pollutants that emerge from the exhaust. With more vehicles on the road than ever before, most technological advances in recent decades have been dedicated to reducing the negative impact on both the environment and human health. Modern vehicles now contain a plethora of emission control systems, including catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters (DPFs), and motorists have an obligation, both legally and morally, to ensure they are kept in optimum condition. Maintaining and repairing exhaust pipe-mounted technologies can also save you money in the long run. In this issue Rob Marshall looks at how to keep your cat or DPF in peak condition.
