Frequently Asked Questions:
How does the
filter work?
A diesel
particulate filter, sometimes called a DPF, is a device designed to
remove
diesel particulate matter
or
soot from the
exhaust gas of a
diesel engine.
How long does the
filter take to fit, and how long will I be off the road?
Average fitting time for the filter is roughly two days. This includes
taking the vehicle for an emissions test to gain the required L.E.Z
certification.
What maintenance
does the filter require?
The Clean Diesel filters are particularly popular as they require
little if no maintenance. Unlike other manufactures where the filter needs
to be sent off to be professionally cleaned with potentially lengthy down
times. We can carry out a yearly filter clean right in our own workshop at
a convenient time to suit your schedule.
Other than the yearly clean all you need to do is keep the Platinum
Plus fuel additive topped up. Simple!
What does the
filter cost?
The cost
of the filter varies according to each specific vehicle, but prices are
usually in the region of £3200.00 per filter. (excluding fitting costs, and
the initial L.E.Z certification.)
Are there any
running costs involved?
The beauty of the Clean Diesel filter are the low running costs. A 1l bottle of Platinum Plus fuel additive lasts for approximately
3000l of diesel, and retails for £50.00.
