With that in mind we’re finding more demand for our DPF gun and cleaning foam, which helps to remove pollutants from DPFs that may cause premature failures and increased emissions.” Launch UK’s DPF gun is the perfect addition to workshop tools at a time when drivers are using their cars more following periods of inactivity. Any diesel car can be susceptible to soot build-up, especially those mainly driven around town or on short or low speed journeys. Regular DPF cleaning is the best way to avoid costly repairs.

Here at ECS we offer our ECS DPF & Inlet cleaning gun. This high quality DPF cleaning gun comes with accessories required for proper DPF cleaning on all vehicles. You can use our ECS Ultimate DPF fluid with this product. Our DPF cleaning gun requires the use of an air compressor set to 4 – 5bar maximum pressure. In combination with our ECS Ultimate DPF cleaning fluid you will be able to carry out DPF cleaning with ease. Our gun now comes with our trademarked logo laser etched for a cool look. Does it work with other fluids ? The Launch Tech DPF cleaning gun and fluid sit alongside the company’s range of high-end vehicle diagnostics equipment, with products suitable for all users between diagnostics enthusiasts and professionals. Richard Collyer, national sales manager at Launch Tech, said: “There’s a lot of messaging about the need to abandon internal combustion engine-powered vehicles as a priority, but it’s often overlooked that a lot of quite simple technology to reduce air pollution and vehicle emissions already exists. Under which customer complaints/DPF faults can Launch's on-car DPF cleaner be suitable? Under which faults is the on-car cleaner not appropriate?

With renewed focus on emissions and air quality, Launch Tech has highlighted the importance of diesel particulate filter (DPF) cleaning, with demand increasing for its DPF cleaning gun and fluid. The accompanying DPF cleaning fluid dissolves soot build-up in the DPF filter, even from DPFs that will no longer respond to a forced regeneration. The process will reduce soot levels, allowing the DPF software to force a regeneration and recover the DPF filter. Diesel Particle Filter Flushing Liquid solves and removes all soot deposition and residues. The Flushing Liquid cleans gently and can be used on all aluminum, magnesium, zinc and cadmium parts. The product can be used perfectly for the latest generation of particle filters. This High Power Cleaner for Diesel Particle Filters is a special Diesel Additive Solution which is used as a regeneration help in Diesel Particle Filter Systems. Reduces ignition temperature of the soot collected in the particle filter which ensures permanent and complete filter cleaning while driving. The most economical way of particle filter cleaning and protection! The product can be used in all diesel engines and mixed with all diesel fuels. Launch Tech offers a DPF cleaning gun, which allows technicians to spray a cleaning fluid straight onto the DPF via the pressure sensor or vacuum hole. The gun is filled with Launch DPF cleaning fluid and connected to a compressed air line, so the cleaning fluid can be sprayed at the DPF in-situ and at pressure.We design and manufacture Engine Carbon Cleaning Machines, DPF cleaning fluid and other products to reduce engine carbon build up and lower emissions here in the UK. In addition to our R&D facility in Aberdeenshire we also have all the production there too. Furthermore we have a growing dealer network throughout the UK who enjoy the ease of use and reliability of our carbon cleaning equipment. Here at ECS we sell to trade customers like garages, mobile technicians and wholesale partners alike. ECS produce the best carbon cleaning for your business. ECS Ultimate DPF cleaning fluid Application: Please pay attention to the dosage instructions! Add to the diesel fuel tank before filling up. 375 ml are sufficient for 60 to 80 liters of diesel fuel. Regular use every 3 months is recommended.

The DPF/Catalyst Cleaner dissolves and removes all contamination and soot residues from the particulate filter and the catalyst – no disassembling required. The product eliminates any performance decrease or disruption caused by contaminated particulate filter and catalysts. DPF/Catalyst Cleaner restores the complete function of the diesel particulate filter and catalyst. Due to using a German Company for our ATF Flushing Fluids, it was a natural progression to bring over a range of high-quality chemical solutions. Cleaning is performed with the DPF Pressurized Tank Spray Gun (part no. 7946) and the specially developed DPF Probe with 5 interchangeable tips (part no. 7945). Depending on the type of vehicle, establish access to the diesel particulate filter. On most vehicles, remove the temperature or pressure sensor of the diesel particulate filter for this. Note: The temperature of the particulate filter during cleaning should be less than 40 °C. In some vehicles the diesel particulate filter is located near the exhaust manifold or in some cases the turbocharger rather than on the underbody. For safety reasons, use extreme care when cleaning these vehicles to ensure that no cleaning or flushing fluid enters the combustion chamber via an open exhaust valve.

Re-mount the particle filter, add DPF Super Clean and do a test drive of at least 20 minutes. If regeneration does not start automatically by the engine electronic, start it with a garage probe.
