Learning About The History Of The Ford Power Stroke Diesel - History Lesson
To meet ever-tightening emissions requirements for diesel engines, a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) is used for the first time on a Power Stroke. By nature, the process of diesel fuel combustion produces soot, which we see as black smoke. These particles of carbon vary in size and quantity, but they hurt the environment, even when low-sulfur fuels are being used. This DPF is placed in the exhaust to capture all the particulate and then burn it off with existing exhaust heat and a heated element. In the end, it eliminates up to 90 percent of harmful diesel particulates. View Related Article
