How often should you service your old radiator?

Find out why it’s a good idea to get DPF cleaning for your commercial vehicle with the knowledgeable and experienced team from Applied Radiators Ltd. By getting DPF cleaning in line with the recommended schedule, you can enjoy a range of benefits.


better performance


A clean DPF is vital for allowing the engine to perform to its maximum capacity, and if you notice that your throttle response isn't as efficient as it used to be, you should arrange an appointment with our team. With a clean DPF filter your engine can run to its full potential.


use less fuel per mile


A DPF in proper operating condition is one of the most important features of optimum fuel efficiency on commercial vehicles. Because the filters are positioned on the exhaust system, clogged units hinder the engine's breathing, resulting in an increase in consumption. Cleaning the DPF filters on buses and trucks on a regular basis will not only maintain your vehicles in good running condition, but will also keep your usage within the manufacturer's recommended range keeping your fuel expenses low.


In addition, a drop in fuel efficiency is one of the first indicators of a clogged DPF, even before the light on your dashboard illuminates.


reduce environmental impact


Most importantly for us all, cars with clean and properly working DPFs are ecologically friendly, which should be a major concern for any owner of a fleet of commercial vehicles that run on diesel fuel. This is especially true with the introduction of many new Clean Air Zones around the country.
