Cleaning particle filters
Diesel particulate filter cleaning – why?
A particulate filter must be regenerated regularly. If you only drive short distances and the filter does not reach the high temperature required for proper combustion of all soot particles, these will instead accumulate in the particle filter and then problems arise. This leads to the particle filter light coming on and the particle filter becoming clogged with soot.
Depending on the amount of soot, different measures may be required: you can clean with our DPF Super Clean, wash the particle filter in place, or disassemble it and wash it.
Also recommended for all Volvo trucks, Mercedes, MAN, Peugeot motorhomes and other heavy diesel engines with particulate filters.
Step 1
Is the high soot level warning light on and do you want to extend the life of your particulate filter system?
Get the regeneration started with our special diesel additive solution that lowers the ignition temperature of the soot. This highly efficient product is used as a regeneration aid in the particulate filter and is added every 6 months so that regeneration starts even with short mileage.
Use the GAT DPF Purifier for preventive maintenance of the diesel particulate filter system and guaranteed permanent and complete cleaning during operation.
We also recommend GAT DPF Purifier for all vehicles in the transportation industry – trucks, delivery vans, buses, heavy machinery, etc.
The most economical way to clean the particle filter!

Step 2
Is the warning light signalling a full filter?
Read more about DPF Air Jet FluidUse our DPF Air Jet Fluid together with a compressed air gun with flexible probe when the warning light signals a full filter and the car goes into the emergency program, or for preventive purposes.
The probe is inserted into the particle filter and the GAT DPF Air Jet is sprayed in. Simple and effective cleaning WITHOUT disassembly.
Step 3
Is the light signalling a full and clogged filter, and has the engine stopped?
You can either have the filter replaced with a new one – and the workshop will come up with a cost estimate of several thousand kronor – or the filter can be dismantled:
Seal one side and fill it with our GAT DPF Cleaning Fluid – a flushing fluid that cleans the entire filter effectively and gently. The next day, reassemble the filter and regeneration starts as it should.
And this for just a few hundred kronor!
