Mexican Diesel Fuel/Sulfur Effects Update
Much to my distress I just learned here in the Southern Baja that the owner of a late model GM diesel pickup paid almost $3,000 to ship his truck back to the USA when it went into limp mode (5 mph) in...
Forum Discussion
I have no fear of DPFs at all. We have a 2006 which I have mentioned several times. People ask questions. I have Googled for answers out of curiosity. None of those questions have been answered here. There are answers online. Each time I post I provide sources and websites where information is found. I would think that would be of interest to folks on this forum. I see no other evidence posted here of websites giving information supporting anything other than what I have posted. No sources are given. It seems they are some sort of top secret and cannot be revealed. This is just silly if you ask me. I asked the questions here over the past few years - in fact since 2007 - and the same response comes year after year. No answer. You say there is no connection between LSD and DPF - but Googling says there is. You say there is no problem but then that you have fixed the problem using your laptop for many people - and have even flown to places around Mexico to fix the problem - when there is no problem. This seems to go on each year and each year it just gets more and more ridiculous. WHAT ARE YOUR SOURCES????
SORRY - some confusion here as somehow my quoted post above has somehow gotten answers inserted into it instead of after it - no idea how this would happen - went unnoticed until later - very confusing as there is no break in my quote to show where the poster responds to my words - what a mess.
So the confusion continues. A DPF filters sulfur. It is designed to filter sulfur from fuel containing 15ppm of sulfur. Fuel that is not designed for a DPF system can contain up to 500ppm of sulfur. Since the day they came our with this equipment and to this day there are continual warnings not to put 500ppm fuel in a system designed for 15ppm fuel. Since the DPF is supposed to filter sulfur from a 15ppm system it would stand to reason and common sense that fuel contain a great deal more than the device is designed for might have some adverse effect on that device. Seems pretty basic and simple to me. Even some fuel containing 15ppm has been known to clog some DPFs. So why would 500ppm be said to have no effect on a DPF? As far as the computer codes - the only codes ever previously mentioned that some tech or someone special trainee with a laptop has been said to be able to reset are those related to the DPF - my question had to do with all the other engine components that could be effected by a clogged DPF which are in the many websites I provided addresses for in my posts. In all my searches on this topic the only place I have ever heard anyone claim this is not so is on this forum - where the writer does not disclose sources since they are top secret. Let the buyer beware.
