Why are ‘forced DPF regenerations’ bad for modern diesel engines?
Forced DPF regenerations often cause some of the excess fuel required for regenerations to get past the piston rings into the engine oil. This causes excessive fuel dilution of the oil, which is bad for any modern diesel engine. Often, forced 'regens' also promote diesel soot backing up into the engine, causing damage to the turbocharger and fuel injectors. Here's a very good solution...
“2013 Freightliner box truck with the small 6, at least 1 forced regen a day, sometimes 2. Mostly city work, only a little highway. 584,000 miles on the clock. Had to park up about 30 minutes each time. The FTC Decarbonizer worked really good. By day 2 the forced regens completely stopped. Another thing, the white exhaust smoke that was always there for a few miles first thing has also completely stopped. Great result. Many thanks.”
