The Pros And Cons Of A Diesel Particulate Filter

If that’s not enough, a diesel vehicle also has what is known as a Diesel Particulate Filter. A Diesel Particulate Filter Collects all the soot and much of the harmful contaminants released from the tailpipe before the DEF fluid is used and stores them. In other words a Diesel Particulate Filter or DPF collects and stores what makes diesel exhaust look black in color. With how a DPF works it must have regular scheduled ‘regeneration’ cycles where the diesel vehicle idles at around twice than normal rpms and cannot be turned off until all the collected soot, particles and contaminants are forced back through the engine then burned off into the atmosphere. What this translates to is that all the black soot is heated until it is no longer black, then put right into the atmosphere. In this cycle the vehicle burns a significant amount of fuel and in that alone putting off more chemicals. Also, being that this system is used in tractors and heavy equipment, when the regeneration cycle is ongoing the equipment cannot be safely used

It is never mentioned anywhere about the government doing this. According to eyewitnesses at multiple government establishments which use said vehicles, who I interviewed and wish to remain anonymous, they themselves have been ordered to remove and then hide or destroy the systems from all their vehicles. It wasn't only due to safety but saving money therefore agreeing with my thesis by omission. If the government requires these exhaust filtering systems that are so good for us, why is the government taking them off on their own machines? The fact is, my research shows that as with gas vehicles, diesel vehicles were better per mile for the environment before the second set of regulations were imposed and from the looks of it, the United States government knows
