For a particulate filter to be used effectively, the engine must be run with ULSD – Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel. The low sulfur content of this fuel, 15 parts per million (ppm) sulfur content or less, will help lessen some of the emissions output as well as enable the filter to work to its full potential. The availability of this fuel will be a deciding factor for your customer in the implementation of this solution.

As with any emissions retrofit solution, if your customer is investing in particulate filter technology, make sure the filter is designed for their application and duty cycle. An improperly applied filter can cause catastrophic failure – to the filter or possibly to the entire engine.
