ACME Partial Flow Diesel Particulate Filters (p-DPF,DPF)

[123abcpa]

I all for reducing emissions but i know for a fact that the DPF model diesels in the ford and dodge get about 10 MPG where the previos models would avg around 16-18 MPG. The DPF also makes unsafe high exhaust temps that greatly reduce the life of the engine. The benefits of the DPF are not worth what is sacrificed, it also helps suppert the middle east oil co.'s by burning way more than necessary.

@123abcpa go and learn about the subject first...idiot.

@urbex2007, I know what im talking about, I had a 2007 dodge cummins 6.7. burned through 4 turbos in 36,000 miles. dealer said I had to drive it on the freeway for 1/2 hour for ever 3 hours of city driving to allow the fuel to be injected into the exhaust to heat up the EGT to reach about 1100 so the soot would be turned to ash. I do almost all city driving becaus i do landscaping. I had to drive for 30min every day on hiway so that dammit to hell filter would clean. Only avged 11 MPG. Ass hole!

@123abcpa Can confirm this. Had a temp gauge in the exhaust. In city traffic zou hardly get over 200°. And on top of it most recent engines got EGR with retarded injection timing to actually reduce the combustion temperature to reduce NOx.

There are electrically heated filters but whichever way, there's energy input to trigger the regeneration...or you use AdBlue filters. Not the best alternative though...

Also would like to inform you that the removal of your DPF will render it illegal to register and operate on road. As well as Cummins and Duramax. And when diesels release "Soot" it is usually molecules of unburned fuel, not ash. When It burns extremely lean it will create a white ash, uncommon.

Thanks but I know the 2007+ Ford F series Diesel has a DPF but it uses Passive Regeneration which raises EGT's to burn the soot out of the filter. Im looking to use a High Flow DPF to filter my exhaust on my 1986 Mercedes TurboDiesel Car. I wish to promote the use of diesel vehicles so I believe this is the first step besides reducing obnoxious engine rattle. People feel that diesels are unclean and waste fuel when they are far superior to Gasoline Fueled counterparts.

Where can I buy one? are they expensive? Is it too large to fit conveniently on a 4 door passenger car?
