What is Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)?
DPF in Cummins is mainly fitted for reducing the pollution effect and capturing the soot common in diesel engines. However, once the filter starts getting choked due to deposits sulfate ash, it may also induce reduction of power and increase in fuel consumption bringing a lot of irritation in the cascading effect. Thank You? A DPF delete can mitigate those issues and allow enough freedom for your truck to breathe.
