WHY DPF CLEANING MATTERS

Your DPF is designed to capture soot and particulate matter from your diesel exhaust system. As soot and ash accumulate, the filter can become restricted and affect the vehicle or equipment's operation.

A restricted DPF may contribute to:

• Reduced engine performance
• Increased exhaust backpressure
• Frequent or failed regenerations
• Warning lights and fault codes
• Reduced fuel economy
• Derate conditions
• Increased operating temperatures
• Unplanned downtime

Proper cleaning can restore the filter's ability to flow exhaust properly when cleaning is appropriate for the condition of the filter.

OUR DPF CLEANING PROCESS

CLEAN IT RIGHT. VERIFY THE RESULTS.

At Fast Track, DPF cleaning is more than simply running a filter through a machine.

01 — INSPECTION

We inspect the DPF and evaluate its overall condition before cleaning. This helps determine whether the filter is a candidate for cleaning or whether replacement may be necessary.

02 — AQUEOUS CLEANING

We use a professional aqueous DPF cleaning system designed to thoroughly clean the filter and remove accumulated soot and ash from the DPF substrate.

03 — INSPECTION & VERIFICATION

After cleaning, the filter is evaluated to verify the cleaning results and identify any remaining concerns.

04 — REINSTALLATION

Once the DPF is determined to be suitable for service, it can be reinstalled and the vehicle or equipment can be evaluated as needed.

PROFESSIONAL AQUEOUS DPF CLEANING

A DEEP CLEAN FOR YOUR DPF.

Fast Track utilizes a professional aqueous cleaning machine specifically designed for diesel particulate filter cleaning.

Unlike simply performing a regeneration, an aqueous cleaning process is designed to physically remove accumulated material from the filter rather than relying on heat alone.

Our cleaning system uses a controlled combination of water, specialized cleaning chemistry, and mechanical flow to help remove accumulated soot and ash from the DPF.

WHY AQUEOUS CLEANING?

THOROUGH CLEANING
Helps remove accumulated particulate and ash from the DPF substrate.

CONTROLLED PROCESS
The cleaning process is performed using a dedicated DPF cleaning system rather than attempting to clean the filter through the vehicle itself.

IMPROVED FLOW
Removing accumulated material can help restore proper exhaust flow through a serviceable DPF.

PROFESSIONAL VERIFICATION
The filter can be evaluated before and after cleaning to help determine whether it is suitable for continued service.

COST-EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE
When a DPF is serviceable, professional cleaning may provide an alternative to replacing the entire filter.

CLEANING VS. REGENERATION

THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING.

A regeneration uses elevated exhaust temperatures to burn accumulated soot inside the DPF.

A professional DPF cleaning service is different. Our aqueous cleaning process is designed to physically remove accumulated material from the filter.

If your DPF has become heavily restricted or is experiencing repeated regeneration problems, simply performing another regeneration may not address the underlying restriction.

That's where professional DPF cleaning and proper diagnostics can make a difference.

DPF CLEANING OR DPF REPLACEMENT?

WE'LL HELP DETERMINE THE RIGHT OPTION.

Not every DPF should be cleaned.

A filter that is damaged, cracked, melted, contaminated, or otherwise beyond serviceable condition may require replacement.

Fast Track provides both DPF cleaning and DPF replacement, allowing us to evaluate the condition of the filter and help determine the appropriate solution.

CLEAN IT WHEN IT CAN BE CLEANED. REPLACE IT WHEN IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

DON'T JUST CLEAN THE DPF — FIND THE CAUSE.

A DPF can become restricted for many reasons.

If the underlying problem isn't addressed, the DPF may become restricted again.

That's why Fast Track combines DPF service with dealer-level diagnostics to help identify problems that may contribute to repeated DPF issues.

Depending on the application, this can include evaluating:

• Regeneration issues
• Sensor faults
• Exhaust temperature problems
• Differential pressure readings
• Engine-related issues
• Aftertreatment system faults
• Operating conditions

Our goal is to address the problem—not simply reset a warning light.

LIGHT, MEDIUM & HEAVY DUTY

Fast Track provides DPF service across a wide range of diesel applications.

LIGHT DUTY

Diesel pickup trucks, service vehicles, and other light-duty applications.

MEDIUM DUTY

Work trucks, vocational vehicles, delivery vehicles, and commercial applications.

HEAVY DUTY

Heavy-duty trucks, commercial vehicles, and equipment.

ON-ROAD & OFF-ROAD

We work with diesel equipment operating on the highway, at the jobsite, and off-road.

WHEN SHOULD YOU HAVE YOUR DPF CHECKED?

If you're experiencing:

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT
DPF WARNING
REGENERATION PROBLEMS
LOSS OF POWER
DERATE
HIGH EXHAUST BACKPRESSURE
FREQUENT REGENERATIONS

Don't ignore the problem.

Continuing to operate equipment with an unresolved aftertreatment problem can lead to additional issues and increased downtime.

Get the system diagnosed before replacing expensive components unnecessarily.

Whether you need a DPF cleaned, an aftertreatment problem diagnosed, or a larger diesel repair completed, our team can help.
