You're fooling yourself. DPF is not cleaner. It is Urea which when superheated turns to Ammonia which when breathed into lungs crystalizes and never leave. At what height are 20000 MH and 300K diesel pickup exhausts? Yup! It's going right into that "Fresh Air Intake" you love so much when cruising down the big road. 20 years down ther road the Govt will say OOPS! Too bad.
I think you may be mistaken.... You are confusing the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) for DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid).
"Small quantities of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) are injected into the exhaust upstream of a catalyst, where it vaporizes and decomposes to form ammonia and carbon dioxide. The ammonia (NH3) is the desired product which in conjunction to the SCR catalyst, converts the NOx to harmless nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O)."
