Factors in Diesel Particulate Filter Clogging
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) trouble, primarily clogging, is usually caused by insufficient exhaust temperatures during regular driving, leading to incomplete soot burning during the regeneration cycle (regens). Other factors include poor fuel combustion due to low compression, sticky rings and glazed cylinder walls, less-than-ideal maintenance, incorrect engine oil, low fuel quality, and engine or sensor…
Read MoreFactors in diesel engine failure
The oil in diesel-powered engines is subject to a multitude of adverse factors that substantially deteriorate the oil over time. These factors can include a variety of less-than-ideal operating conditions, as well as mechanically induced issues. The effects of these things often cause unwanted, untimely, and frustratingly high-cost maintenance, repairs, and even complete engine failure.…
Read MoreA Real Solution to Engine Blow-by
Engine blow-by is the term used to describe excessive internal crankcase pressure – a result of inadequate sealing between the piston rings and the cylinder walls, particularly during the compression and power strokes of the crankshaft. During these strokes, generated compression and expansion pressures create extremely high pressure above the piston, and if the ring-to-cylinder…
Read MoreEngine Blow-by
What causes Engine Blow-by? Engine blow-by can often be fixed without having to rebuild the engine Engine blow-by is caused by compression pressure in the combustion chamber escaping into the crankcase past stuck piston rings and/or glazed bores, and consequently over-pressurizing the crankcase. This condition can cause all sorts of exasperation for truckers and heavy…
Read MoreDoes FTC Decarbonizer Really Work?
To answer the question “Does FTC Decarbonizer really work?“, take a look at these photos – This photo is of a cylinder from a Caterpillar 3508 diesel engine at 8,000 hours. It was used in an earthmoving machine in a large mining operation in Australia. It was torn down and rebuilt prior to the normal…
Read MoreExhaust Smoke
If your vehicle or machine has visible exhaust smoke coming from anywhere, you have a problem! The color of engine exhaust smoke and when it occurs can tell you a lot about your engine’s condition. Basically, there are three types of smoke… Black exhaust smoke is often a cause of concern. There is a low…

Modern High-Pressure Diesel Injectors run very fine tolerances. Expensive problems can be avoided with Maxodyne ULS Diesel Enhancer High Pressure Injection diesel engines (CRDi, HPCR and HEUI) have been developed and introduced to meet the latest emission standards. Wonderful news for the world we live in! However, with the addition of this new technology and the…
Read MoreOil Soot, Carbon, & Blow-by Issues
Sooty engine oil, carbon deposits, & blow-by issues Regular diesel engine operation, including starting, becomes increasingly problematic as combustion-related deposits build up on critical engine components over time. Cold weather only compounds the situation. Types of operation, such as excessive idling, short run time, light work, and city type driving, all contribute to carbon and…
Read MoreDiesel Particulate Filter Problems
– and how to solve them Most modern diesel engines are now fitted with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) to further reduce noxious exhaust emissions. Although this is a great step forward in reducing toxic chemicals in our atmosphere, DPFs are a band-aid remedy only, and with this technology comes a list of problems that must…
