Black diesel smoke causes engine wear
Black diesel smoke causes wear. That's because the same abrasive soot particles that make up black diesel smoke also get into the oil, where they act as a grinding paste, slowly but insidiously wearing away metal from every lubricated part of the engine. But there is a fully tested and proven way of slowing this engine wear just by using the FTC Decarbonizer in the [...]
How to stop DPF filters blocking.
Don't let a blocked DPF filter cost you thousands. DPF filters blocking generally arise where city driving, excessive idling or light duty cycles are encountered. Or, if other engine components such as EGR valves, turbochargers, injectors are fouled or not working properly. DPF regeneration cycles then become more frequent, and more prolonged! And more serious! DPF's often need replacing at a cost of $5,000-$10,000, [...]
