If there was a way to make your street-legal DPF-equipped diesel truck perform at the same level as an off-road race rig without DPF, would you want to know how? DPF removal is great for off-road racing, but what about the rest of us who just want better fuel economy, improved towing, and diesel performance?

Most late-model diesel truck owners are now familiar with the term DPF. If you used to get 15-20 mpg on your pre-DPF diesel truck, you were probably surprised when you first realized that your new $50,000 diesel got 8-13 MPG. And how about the first time you were towing a heavy load up a long grade when your diesel suddenly went into DPF regeneration and your speed plummeted to the point of dangerously slow? If you’re like thousands of other diesel owners, you’ve been looking for a way to safely and legally improve your diesel fuel economy, as well as increase horsepower in your 2007.5 to 2010 Dodge Ram equipped with DPF 6.7L Cummins, 2007.5 to 2010 GM 6.6L Duramax, or 2008 to 2010 Ford 6.4L Powerstroke. Now there is a new option that will give you exactly what you want!

Many of the major manufacturers of aftermarket diesel performance products have tried to find an effective way to reverse the fuel economy and performance reducing effects of the emission control DPF device. Matt Snow and the diesel performance geniuses at Snow Performance have come up with a simple but brilliant solution. Installing one of their Diesel Stage 3 MPG-Max Boost Cooler Methanol Water Injection Kits on a DPF-equipped truck increases fuel economy by 1-3 MPG, with most diesel owners getting more than 2 MPG. And here’s the best part: the more often your truck went into DPF regeneration before you installed the Boost Cooler kit, the better your fuel economy will be. Let’s look at the reasons why.

A diesel particulate filter is designed to remove soot and other particles from the exhaust gas stream. Soot and filtered particles accumulate until the filter needs to be cleaned, a process called “regeneration.” In the Dodge, Ford, and GM diesel engines that are so popular in North America today, filter regeneration or cleaning is accomplished through the use of a fuel burner that heats the particulate filter to the burning point of soot. and the particles. Every time the filter needs to be cleaned, more diesel fuel must be burned to heat the filter. And, as you can imagine, this doesn’t help with diesel fuel economy.

Snow Performance’s product development team was already aware that pre-DPF diesel engines using their Boost Cooler kits experienced reduced particulate and NOx emissions due to increased combustion efficiency. The injected methanol acts as a combustion catalyst, which means your diesel fuel burns more efficiently and completely. Instead of sending unburned fuel and particulates out the tailpipe in the form of smoke and pollution, the use of Snow Performance water and methanol injection kits in pre-DPF diesel engines dramatically reduced their emissions. What they did not know for sure, but suspected, was that their kits would have an even more beneficial effect on the new diesel trucks that would come out with DPF installed.

The Snow Performance team was right. Running one of their Boost Cooler kits on a DPF equipped diesel truck still led to lower exhaust gas temperatures and increased horsepower. Most importantly, the water and methanol injection kits improved combustion efficiency so dramatically that the particulate filters in their test trucks never got dirty enough to need cleaning. The injection of water and methanol “cleaned” the exhaust stream so effectively that the filters did not need to go into regeneration mode. This, of course, led to even greater and consistent gains in fuel economy.

For the diesel performance enthusiast, combining a Stage 3 MPG-Max Boost Cooler Methanol/Water Injection Kit with a diesel performance chip, programmer or tuner allows you to use today’s popular electronic boosters without the worry of clog and ruin your expensive particles. filter. Now you can have your diesel performance cake and eat it too! For increased fuel economy, more horsepower and torque, a better towing experience, and reduced emissions without resorting to DPF removal, invest in a Snow Performance Stage 3 MPG-Max Boost Water Methanol Injection Kit. Cooler for your Cummins, Duramax or DPF equipped DPF. Powerstroke diesel today!
