The guy who took the readings wrote everything down one of them reads "soot content high" but couldn't spend any more time with it as I went in because I was working next to the place and he broke off to plug it in and test it but couldn't do much else for me for the next 2.5 weeks as was mown out.
Went to auto electrician I've used before and from the readings I showed him he thought it was, for some reason, not regenerating so was going to try a regeneration I think he called it........he also mentioned replacement or removal.....I'll know more Wednesday when I take it in......removal without replacement isn't happening.........no warning lights are showing either.......I only do about 3500 miles a year and actually have to go for a run out on motorway to try keep it clear..............funnily enough did a 5 mile round trip today and no problem.


The garage can do what they call a forced regen they can do this several times but if the DPF is choked up it will need removing and cleaning or replacing

Just use the pond hose it comes in a variety of sizes 50mm is good it’s only plastic with wire reinforcement but relatively cheap and will do what you want very well regardless of temperature

The plug in machine readings......

Couple of things puzzling me. You say your van is losing power occasionally. He's diagnosed clogged DPF i assume, due to these readings. He'll be able to tell if its full of soot etc... based on the readings. The DPF should be able to regenerate and clean itself. But for whatever reason it hasn't . It is easily possible to remove them and have them cleaned. But he's jumped ahead..,.suspecting, even as chance that this may not work and you could remove it ?

  He doesn't sound confident at all to me.

As someone else has just mentioned, the law around DPF's and emmisions is changing and getting tighter. Removing a DPF, even in software could be a costly mistake to make. And probably uneccesary too.

 I'd be going to someone who specializes in DPF's.

I use 1 inch hose internal diameter similar to reel hose just bigger from garage to van about 30 ft and a clarke transfer pump so 10-15 mins to fill a 600L tank.

Hi all.
I produce my pure 15 meter’s away from the van and pump it to the van via a 19mm rubber heater hose. 350 tank in van takes 15 minutes to fill. 13mm hose used to take over 40 minutes but would sit nicely out of the way on a reel.
The 19mm I could coil up by hand and put it out of the way/sight.
However the cold weather is now preventing this as it’s become non compliant 😁
Really don’t want to go back to 13mm and wondered what you use.
Thanks in advance
