Extend Regen Cycles
Incomplete diesel fuel combustion creates excessive diesel particulate matter (soot) production. Without a diesel engine efficiency additive, soot deposits are created more rapidly and prohibit your DPF from functioning properly, resulting in increased ‘back-pressure’. As back-pressure increases, the operating temperate of the DPF rises to dangerous levels until the system is triggered to execute a regeneration cycle.
Regeneration cycles are inconvenient for the user and shorten the life of the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter). Every time a regeneration is triggered, the life of the DPF is reduced; the risk of dangerous results is exposed, and fuel is wasted to reach the excessive temperatures to complete a regeneration cycle.

How Diesel Particulate Filters Work
So how do DPF's work? Diesel Particulate filters (DPF) or 'traps' do just that, they catch bits of soot in the exhaust. As with any filter they have to be emptied regularly to maintain performance. For a DPF this process is called 'regeneration' – the collected soot...
