If there was a method to make your street-legal diesel particulate filter (DPF) equipped diesel truck perform at the same level as an off-road racing DPF-deleted rig, can you need to know how? DPF Deletion is ideal for off-road racing, but what about the rest of us who simply want better fuel economy, improved towing and diesel performance?
Most late-model diesel truck owners are actually acquainted with the term DPF. Should you accustomed to get 15-20 miles per gallon in your pre-DPF diesel truck, you were probably shocked when you initially figured out that your brand new $50,000 diesel got 8-13 MPG. And how about the first time you were towing huge load up an extended grade whenever your diesel suddenly went into DPF regeneration and your speed plummeted to the point of being dangerously slow? If you're like a large number of other diesel owners, you have been searching for a way to safely and legally enhance your diesel fuel economy in addition to increase horsepower on your DPF-equipped 2007.5 to 2010 Dodge Ram 6.7L Cummins, 2007.5 to 2010 GM 6.6L Duramax, or 2008 to 2010 Ford 6.4L Powerstroke. Now there is a new option which will give you exactly what you want!
Most of the major manufacturers of diesel performance aftermarket products have tried to determine an effective way to reverse the performance and fuel economy-reducing results of the emissions control DPF device. Matt Snow and the diesel performance geniuses at Snow Performance have discovered an easy yet brilliant solution. Installing one of their Diesel Stage 3 MPG-Max Boost Cooler water-methanol injection kits on a DPF-equipped truck gives a increase in gas mileage of 1-3 MPG, with most diesel owners recovering from 2 MPG. And here's the good thing - the more often your truck was going into DPF regeneration before installing the Boost Cooler kit, the larger your gas mileage gains will be. Let's consider why.
A diesel particulate filter is designed to remove soot and other particulates in the exhaust gas stream. The filtered soot and particulates develop before the filter must be cleaned, a procedure call "regeneration". Within the Dodge, Ford, and GM diesels which are so popular in North America today, filter regeneration, or cleaning, is achieved through utilizing a fuel burner which heats the particulate filter to the combustion point of the soot and particulates. Every time your filter needs to be cleaned, more diesel fuel has to be burned to heat the filter. And, as you may imagine, this doesn't help with diesel gas mileage.
The merchandise team of developers at Snow Performance already knew that pre-DPF diesels utilizing their Boost Cooler kits experienced decreased emissions of particulate matter and NOx due to increased combustion efficiency. Injected methanol provides a combustion catalyst, meaning your diesel fuel gets burned more efficiently and more completely. Rather than sending unburned fuel and particulates the tailpipe as smoke and pollution, using the Snow Performance water-methanol injection kits on pre-DPF diesels caused their emissions to decrease dramatically. What they did not know for sure, but suspected, was their kits might have a much more beneficial impact on the new diesel trucks developing DPF's installed.
The Snow Performance crew was right. Running one of their Boost Cooler kits on a DPF-equipped diesel truck still resulted in lower exhaust gas temperatures and increased horsepower. Most importantly, the water-methanol injection kits improved combustion efficiency so dramatically the particulate filters on their test trucks just never got dirty enough to need to be cleaned. The exhaust stream was "scrubbed" so effectively through the water-methanol injection the filters didn't will need to go into regeneration mode. This of course resulted in increased and consistent gains in fuel economy.
For diesel performance enthusiasts, combining a Stage 3 MPG-Max Boost Cooler water-methanol injection kit with the a diesel performance chip, programmer, or tuner allows you to use today's popular electronic power-adders with no worry of clogging and ruining your expensive particulate filter. Now you can have your diesel performance cake and eat it too! For increased fuel mileage, more horsepower and torque, a much better towing experience, and reduced emissions without resorting to DPF deletion, invest in a Snow Performance Stage 3 MPG-Max Boost Cooler water-methanol injection kit for your DPF-equipped Cummins, Duramax or Powerstroke diesel today!
