Just a short video to give you a closer look at the cleaning of a Cummins DPF. Here you can see the contaminants (Soot and Ash) being pushed out.
It's also worth noting that all water exiting the drain in this video is ran through a trap to contain Pollutants/Hydrocarbons.

Wish I knew this about a year earlier. Would have saved 2 turbos on a 2010 ISX 450 hp due to plugged filters. Learning the hard way....
You know watching all these videos on the DPF filters almost reminds me of plenty of big scale models of filtration and particulate reduction system that for most people they don’t even know about. 1 for example is a RTO usually in place at most of your big manufacturing plants, power boilers at your coal power plants, paper mills. I pretty much cleaned them all, but the RTO system or at least 1 of them I helped out on had the ceramic media in it, and it got cleaned with a pressure washer.
I’m a industrial cleaning technician (former) but I still remember everything about it. I knew these filters could be cleaned with water a LONG time ago.
Would you say it's worth doing this over pulling one out and having it professionally done? I'm asking as an owner-operator and the owner of a 2019 Freightliner Cascadia
But then how would the manufacturers make millions off selling the new filters?!?!
Saw this vid a few weeks ago and started doing it to our Volvo D16, so far so good, going to try it on a plugged SCR next
Nice video very helpful
This doesn't work for channel type DPFs that have glue holding different pieces of it together. It also depends on how the filter substrate is designed/what it's made of etc. Have to be careful
Hello. Excellent video. Do you just let the filter air dry?
Never done it but thinking of doing it
Nice video. Could you do this on a pickup truck?
Works very well be sure you check the surface of the filter for hairline cracks before cleaning. If there are any throw filter away immediately and get a new one. If you attempt to clean it the filter can and most likely will shatter.
Thanks a lot bro
Very helpful, did anybody tried it with the paccar mx13 ??
I seen the tech at the VOLVO dealer pressure washing the DPF filter . said they only replace if the filter is damaged. Don't forget new gaskets and clamps if yours can be re used. I did a passive regen and no more check engine
Hello sir, can you please tell me what code you was getting before you cleaned the filter?
I’m definitely trying this soon on my ‘15 cascadia
How did it go
It works perfectly ok
Thank you
Isnt it going into the city water
It worked on my 2013 Freightliner DD15. All I need was new clamps and seals. I wonder how many times I can water pressure them. I hope they doesn't break on me next time.
How’s the truck after you’ve done this
@@javifbabyjz it runs normal. Lasts me a year and half and I clean it again with water pressure.
Did you use a solvent with the pressure water or just hot water?
Where can I get your DPF Water Pressure Cleaning service at. Where are you located?
Going to attempt this on my scania here in the UK.
Do you dry or bake them after, or blow them out with air ?
yes you should
If you use baking soda powder mixed with water and living for 10 minutes and then the presión washer it may work better or is the same?
It really depends on exactly what the ash contains but usually acid works best (baking soda is an alkali). Soot has a lot of contain carbon and hydrogen (organic) that contain other elements like sulphur, calcium, zinc, magnesium etc. When the DPF regenerates, the carbon and hydrogen get burned off and the residue (or ash) that is left (and accumulates within the DPF) is made up of inorganic elements/salts of inorganic elements. A reasonable percentage of this material will actually dissolve in water (or be washed off the surface of the DPF if it is not to stuck to the surface) Usually these materials are removed (dissolve) better in something like hydrochloric acid so if the DPF were to be washed as above and then soaked in a hydrochloric acid solution and after wards rinsed then the results may be even better . . . .but how much better I don't know . . . it would required quite a bit of test equipment to figure that out.
How long does it take to dry
I used to do this. I found out the hard way it only partially works. I flushed mine. A week later i started getting codes again. A flow test confirmed it was plugged. Had it baked and been fine ever since.
Get a used turkey fryer and boil the damn thing. It works
You can step into a shower and rinse off and think you’re clean but this isn’t it. It needs a proper air knife blow out, then wash station pressure rinse, ultra sonic tank clean for 20 mins, then a proper 9 hour bake at 1200 degrees. Not to mention a pre and post flow test. This is great for a temporary fix. Not the long haul tho.
Everything saved from the еnvironment goes to the sewerage. Epic!
Probably into the storm drain - bypasses the sewage treatment and goes right into the local body of water.
It's mostly ash. What do you do with a fire pit? Put it in a dumpster?
Better than going into my lungs...
You are wrong! This is just leftover ash from the dpf burn process. The DPF stores diesel partials and then burns them to form co2 when driving. Why do people have opinions on things they don't understand???
Too the person who made this video!! Any chance I can get you to email me.. won’t leave my email here for privacy reason “until you respond” I’m about to do this to my dpf and doc and have some question and would greatly appreciate some insight
So show us how you dry completely dry them prior to install.
You run hot exhaust gases through it....
For future reference wash it the other way. You have to spray against the soot.
doesn't this method crack the substrate?
I ask Volvo tech he said no as long as you use a lower psi on the pressure washer. I let mine dry out for a day in the Arizona sun
@@MrCLASSICLeonS low pressure probably removes less than 20% of the clog. that's why companies are now using detergents and ultrasonics which are more effective
No see coffee like0:46
We can’t do a parked regen on a 08 6.7 Dodge Cummins. We need a affordable solution for use blue collar works who are rich. The earl model truck don’t have a way to regenerate. The dealer are changing hundreds to clean these. This is looking better than anything else to me.
I just cut out my DPF and re-mapped my car only cost me £80 all in and the plus side of it is I will never have to worry about doing a regeneration.
And as for the M.O.T test it won't be a problem as I will be the one testing my car and won't do an emissions test. I will use someone else's car for the emissions lol
May work in the u.k but depending on what state you live in regulations are very strict & penalties make it not worth it on HD trucks
@Ice MAN it has more BHP now. It can be a bit smokey when I am going at maximum speed around 140mph but If I am driving normally it's absolutely fine no problems at all
@@davidb1089 I did it on a car 🚗 our truck laws are different over here in the UK you don't see many trucks over 5 years old as all companies replace them after that due too the miles that they do
Does this work better then getting a device to take the codes off please let me .thanks
Common sense. The engine breath better
I’m not sure what to say. I like all your content, but this is the only thing I’ve seen you do that may very well be against some EPA regulations.
The ash? Yeah, that stuff has to be collected and got rid of by EPA guidelines.
@@DoubtingThomas333
I’m surprised the EPA hasn’t forced UA-cam to take down the video and others out there. I suppose one can still wash the filters if one can filter the water before it goes down the sewers.
@@thereviewer4173 I really don't know how bad the dpf ash is, honestly. I assume the EPA don't want it like they don't really like people using fireplaces because of the particulate matter it spews over the neighborhood.
It's just a video showing what's possible, they are probably using a cleaning bay, industrial area workshop etc.
@@thereviewer4173 who says he's not collecting the water for safe and proper disposal?
Still doesnt work. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
