JLM's Diesel DPF ReGen Plus fuel additive discourages excessive soot quantities from building within the diesel particulate filter (DPF). The results are improved emissions, performance and fuel economy but using JLM's Diesel DPF ReGen Plus as a regular preventative maintenance measure lessens the chance of inconvenient and costly DPF breakdowns. It's used to help the car regenerate its DPF filter. Constantly reduced speeds and short distances are especially detrimental to DPFs. While cars thus equipped possess a sophisticated 'regeneration' self-cleaning function, it struggles to work under such challenging driving conditions, especially during winter. As temperatures are insufficiently high to burn soot particles, which are a natural product of burning diesel fuel, they accumulate to form stubborn, coal-like deposits that are tough enough to block the exhaust system. The car's self-cleaning regeneration function needs support and JLM Lubricants answers the call for help with a shot of chemical expertise. JLM's Diesel DPF ReGen Plus enters the engine with the diesel fuel. When burnt, its formula envelops soot particles similar to that of sugar-coated chocolate confectionery. This outer coating encourages the encapsulated carbon to burn and exit the exhaust pipe at lower temperatures than would be possible otherwise. While JLM's Diesel DPF ReGen Plus's gentle cleaning formulation provides additional protection for older DPF-equipped vehicles that are less tolerant to higher temperatures, it also supports the smaller DPFs, fitted to newer cars. Instead of being based on an iron catalyst, JLM Lubricants chose cerium instead, which produces less ash, an unavoidable byproduct of burning both soot and fuel additive. While ash can be removed, the procedure requires removing the DPF from the exhaust system. This explains why JLM Lubricants views the low-ash production of its cerium-based Diesel DPF ReGen Plus as being just as crucial as its superior ability to keep DPFs clear of soot accumulations, when compared to iron-based fuel additives.
