What is the best DPF additive or FBC on the market today?
Patrick, U.S.
I note that you are in the US so assume your question relates to your home market. My knowledge of the US market for DPF Additives is not as thorough as in Europe where these products have become important due to the high proportion of passenger diesel cars.
Any effective DPF Additive should contain an FBC as the active ingredient and Cerium, Platinum and Iron chemistries are the most common. All are metallic. In the US it is difficult to register metallic fuel additive chemistries for ‘on highway’ use due to EPA regulations so this limits the availability of DPF Additives. My best advice is to see if you can find a product called DPF Cleaner or DPF Regenerator and try to verify that it has a credible FBC in the formulation by looking at the Technical Data or other product information.
In general I believe the best DPF Additives on the market are those that contain a high dose of Cerium due to certain technical performance advantages. I hope that is helpful.
