Mexican Diesel Fuel/Sulfur Effects Update

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.

Wow!!! It is unbelievable that anyone could post such absolute gibberish and have such a complete misunderstanding of the function of a DPF! The DPF has NOTHING (that's as in ABSOLUTELY NOTHING)to do with filtering sulfur from the fuel.
If you have NO IDEA what you are talking about, it is always better to say nothing and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it!
Like Ed White, I see no point in continuing this discussion with people who know absolutely nothing about what they are talking about. Go ahead and respond, but people will only get a laugh at the complete ridiculousness of anything you have to say.
