- Broward County Transit with their fleet of hundreds of Coach Buses and owns an FSX Heat cleaning DPF apparatus. They have chosen to use the Cobra Clean Biodegradable solution to clean their DPF's, DOC's and EGR Valves. Like others they are tired of the expense and downtime replacing filters damaged by heat. With heat cleaning most crack and have to be replaced after a few cleanings. Now there is a proven alternative. CobraCleanUSA.com
Well done !
Thank you, Spread the word!
It may be boring. But very satisfying
When I wash with garden hose i hook up to the bottom of my water heater that works great for me
In other words you connect 8 hoses to the bottom of your water heater tank and spray through the filter all at once?
@@dannewtonful I think you are trying too hard to find fault. Hot water is not needed but if users prefer it good for them. High pressure is not recommenced. A flat hose nozzle works best as seen in the videos. Give it a try and see for your own. If you DPF has been heat cleaned it may be cracked? Cobra Clean will NOT crack a DPF.
what do you do with the hazardous waste. (contaminated water). with high temperature cleaning you are left with 1/2 a cup of harmless ash. Just my opinion.
How can we buy this solution? The website says they don’t ship
What’s the solution name for soaking,?
Lovely way to clean diesel particle for the environment,,lol
Thank you, try it it works! Happy Holidays
May I ask how do you dispose the used water that contained the soot and ash from the DPF? Or do you recycle the used solution?
Jun The solution after soaking the DPF should be rinsed out on a wash rack with a filter. The Cobra Clean after it is used up after a few cleanings can be disposed of with waste oil. Cobra Clean is a Biodegradable Non Acidic Non Toxic solution.
You are advised to rinse your DPF in a wash rack that has a filter. Most commercial facilities have a filter on them. DO NOT use a pressure washer. Some trap it and recycle it with their oil.
You can dispose of the used Cobra Clean with waste oil. Note just because it is black does not mean it is spent. if you set it aside covered the soot sinks to the nottom. 15 gal can clean 2 sometimes 3 DPF's.
It is best to rinse in a filtered wash rack in a commercial garage. If not avail some use a homemade filter to trap the carbon. The COBRA CLEAN itsel is Biodegradable.
Down the drain..
2015 Freightliner cascadia doc cleaning
Melts Carbon on DOC's and EGR Valves, not damage.
Clean with what like soap water
Can this be done to a Jeep Ecodiesel particular filter?
yes
I wouldn't pay a dime if this is how they are "cleaning dpf filters"
Why? I really don't understand.
This is why it’s on UA-cam… to make it accessible for DIY’ers. I don’t think the professionals would use these methods as they have a much more complex and functional set up with all the right equipment. This is a layman’s video so the whole point is not paying a dime to do the job that needs done.
@@jobbiejew Commercial and municipal governments are the primary user of Cobra Clean. Some even own a FSX professional oven and stopped because Cobra Clean dis a better job with no damage.
Soot is burned out, I would not use water because it with cause ash to turn into concreate.
Your call heating one will dmage it. Cobra Clean melts the Ash.
Does it make the grit safe and bio degradable
No it is reccommended to filter the waste particles.
Non sembra il metodo corretto per smaltire il particolato, viene disperso ancora nell’ambiente 😩
How often are the cleaning recommend
every 100k kilometers
Monthly if your lucky
It depends on your duty cycle.. if you idle alot of the time you will need to do it more often like yearly
When it gets dirty. depends on use. some do a 6 month service thats for stop and go vehicles. Check out the ECOFuellMax to reduce particulates.
I've contacted you guys multiple times by phone and email about ordering product. I never got someone to answer or email me back.
Richard sorry to hear that go to ECOFuelMax.com and use the phone on that site. I am a warehouse distributor not a salesperson.
How many gallons would I need for soaking?
Richard thank you for your question/response. For a standard Truck DPF that is approx 14" tall and 14" in circumference you will need 13-14 gallons as can be seen in the You Tube videos. a 15 gallon container should be able to clean 2-3 DPF's so do not dispose of the used Cobra Clean. Note, Do NOT let it FREEZE. To see more videos go to ECOFuelMax.com in the right link column click on Cobra Clean. detailed instructions are there. You can always call me 561-860-6888
A typical DPF needs 15 gallons.
Can you spray the filters both ways?
Absolutely, the key is soaking it for 24 hours and melting the Carbon Particulates.
After soaking spray with water either way is OK.
You've probably replaced it by now, but that guy had cracks in the substrate bud.
Cracked DPF need to be replaced, heat cleaning or pressure washing could damage a filter.
Don‘t you think, something is wrong, if you have to clean it 8 times?
I think he means its been cleaned 8 times not at once.
Either way.. this method dosnt remove the ash content inside the ceramic traps... you need to cook it 1000f amd then use air pressure to get it all out.
@@ununius7436 the process of baking it is to burn the remaining soot. Then after the ash is blown out and the ash should be contained.
Cleaning 8 times was done on a bus, stop and go over 800,000 miles.
@@ununius7436 even cooking it at 1000 doesn't break down the ash, both methods only attack the soot, thats fine for cars that have clogged from missing a few regens or from faulty glow plugs
If you want to clean an old dpf use this method first to remove as much soot as possible and then soak it in 1 part brick cleaner 3 parts water, that will dissolve the ash extremely quickly whilst having little to no effect on the stainless, platinum or cladding, just don't soak it for too long, you'll know its working if the liquid coming from it is stained red as the ash is red and the soot is black
I hope this helps you clean it from home as it seems extremely difficult to find information on the dpf even from garages, however theres many people cashing in big on flushing a single solution through or running a forced regen that will only last a few months
edit: make sure you use either this method or a heavy degreaser such as caustic soda drain unblocker first, as the acid solution has piratically no effect on the oil/soot which can then protect the ash deposits ( and make sure the drain unblocker remains under 100 degrees c as beyond that point it will react with the silica)
How long and how DPF Filters needs to be dry after that ??? Is it OK to install wet, or it needs to be dry?
Astra: DPFs should be dry for best results. Some use a wetvac, some a air hose and others put it in the sun if avail. A diesel motor exhaust gets to 1100-1200 degrees so a slightly damp dpf will dry. A wet one could restrict air flow, not reccommended.
how ecologic?

The Cobra Clean is a Biodegradable Non Toxic, Non Acidic cleaning solution that melt5s Carbon. When rinsing the soot out it is advised to trap the soot in a filter on the wash rack or drain filter. Good Luck & save $$
So if it’s cracked, what are disadvantages of still using it?
Sky, it will not work and the sensors may shut your vehicle down.
Flow. You can also measure it, the flow. To see if it is to restricted
When its cracked it TOAST!!!! If you have to perform a forced regeneration on any DPF system you have something WRONG!! Most likely its Upstream Failure from an over fueling injector, cracked injector cup, leaking EGR cooler, burning engine oil, failed turbo, ECT. You have to address the failure FIRST before replacing the DPF or you will this same issue agai . If the aftertreatment is performing like it should per OEM specs you will need to remove and clean it every 300,000 miles.
Cracked will not perform the same way and your NOX conversion and EGR pressure will change and truck will debate eventually.. also may not reach proper regeneration temperatures
When a DPF is cracked replace it. A cracked clean DPF will not work properly. In the future using Cobra Clean will extend the life of your DPF, heat kills it.
I find it very effective to rev the engine up and jam a garden hose into the intake and turn on the tap, the cylinder pressure will push the water through at high pressure and clean out the dpf.
Lol. Don't give out the secret of how you get a new engine. 😄
It may be partially clean and could damage/crack the ceramic DPF median
Best fix is to delete this bullshit.
Apposto di perdere tempo prima lo soffi con un tubo grosso 3 dita , in punta metti tubo idraulici lo pieghi e soffi , dopo lo scaldi sul mezzo stesso e soffi .
Senza lavarlo fai molto prima .
Absolutely requires heat to remove the particles that are actually plugging the dpf
Thank you for your comment. Sorry to say thousands of DPF's have been successfully cleaned without heat. Heat damages a DPF. The Cobra Clean is 100% biodegradable Non Acidic, Non Caustic. The UA-cam DPF video you commented on was one check out the others on UA-cam click on CobraCleanUSA and have fun. If you prefer heat that's your call but beware you may have to replace your DPF after 2-3 cleanings with heat (+/-$2300). Order 15 gallons and test it, you will be a believer. Cobra Clean costs +/- 75% less. Have a GREAT Day!
False, Cobra Clean will melt the carbon
You do realize that the manufacturers classify this soot as hazardous material right?
Yes it is recommended that a filtered drain be used to trap the soot. Commercial users who are 95%+ rinse and trap the soot.
Yes, a cleaned filter should be rinsed in a wash rack that has a filter.
Backyard mechanic: no, we just rinse it out with water in a ditch behind the shop and hope nobody notices. Lol 😁
yes, it is reccommended to filter the soot.
Nice you are just dumping the junk down the drain! looks like an EPA violation to me.
You got to be kidding me. This is the dumbest way to clean a DPF. Get it baked and pressure tested.
Bake it 2-3 time and replace it. Some after cleaning with Cobra Clean pressure test it and yes it works as good if not better than heat, no damage. One Florida Municipality that has a FSX machine washes, rinses and then uses the air to dry and pressure test it. If it didn't work why would they stop using the $45k cleaning machine.
Not really a good accurate way to clean.. since you need to bake it 1000F and then use air to remove all the ash content in the ceramic traps. This method removes some of the soot yes.. but dosnt do the same thing as baking I and blowing compressed air.
Ununius
By using Cobra Clean a Non Toxic Non Acidic cleaner that melts carbon you will not need to bake a DPF at 1800 degrees. By not using heat a DPF can be cleaned more than the 2-3 times using heat. Testing has shown a superior cleaning verses baking. Soak, Rinse, Dry reinstall and off you go. Thousands have tried it and swear by it. It is hard to comment unless you tried it yourself. Good Luck.
Here is another answer. Baking a DPF will damage it aftew a few cleaning. Replacement is +/-$3,000. Your call don't knock it until you try it.
Lolol this is the worst thing i've seen not even close to accurate method of cleaning and this will only remove portion of soot does absolutely nothing to remove the ash content this is why this is done with a solution and high pressure water jetting not a garden hose and bucket of chemicals just saying oh light tables are used as well
Any design suggestions for creating a better dying system? I was thinking they could increase and further control the spray nozzle with something 3D printed, something that sprays the entire flow through as opposed to spot rinsing. They could also add a frac tank to let heavy carbon sediment drop out and re-circulate the water and or solution.
@@dannewtonful Use a flat nozzle sprayer so you won't get wet. I have tried many different variations, the flat head hose nozzle works best. Yes it takes +/-10 minutes per filter to rinse, that's the hard part.
Devin Don't knock it until you try it. Heat 1,800 degrees is proven to damage a DPF
full of crap wash it with a pressure washer theres a vidio on it
