What is Peugeot FAP filter?
FAP is a particulate filter designed and patented by Citroën-Peugeot group which regeneration system is characterised by the using of an additive, cerium oxide. The combustion of the PM10 naturally takes place at around 600-650°C but exhaust gas only reaches 200°C maximum.
What is FAP fluid?
Particle filter additives, also know as Eolys and PAT fluid is an additive for diesel particulate filter. Diesel particulate filter additives used to aid regeneration of particulate filters.
How do you clean a FAP filter?
Try these methods:
- Add a DPF cleaner.
- A pressure gun and compressed air can be used to remove loose ash in the filter, but not the stuck soot particles.
- Pressure-wash the DPF filter with heated water, spraying in the opposite direction of the exhaust flow.
- If all else fails, schedule service at a -area service center.
Can I drive my car with DPF light on?
Don’t ignore a warning light If you ignore a DPF warning light and keep driving in a relatively slow, stop/start pattern, soot will build up in the filter until your car goes into ‘restricted performance mode’ to prevent damage. If you let it get this bad: Driving at speed alone won’t be enough.
What does FAP mean on a car?
Diesel Particulate filter
FAP – If you drive one of Peugeot’s diesel hybrid engines then it is likely to include a Diesel Particulate filter (DPF/FAP) which reduces the soot coming out of the exhaust by 99.9%. An engine with a FAP designation means it is even kinder to the environment through low exhaust emissions.
How long does DPF fluid last?
DPF additives A full tank of additive should last around 70,000 miles. You’ll have to pay (around £200 for fluid and labour) to get the additive tank refilled. Don’t ignore a warning light showing that the additive tanks need refilling – without additive the DPF will quickly become blocked.
How much is an old DPF worth?
Old DPFs and other catalyzed emission control parts are definitely NOT garbage. The recycled value of used Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) and Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC) is based on the existence of Platinum Group Metals (PGM), typically $10-700 for each part.
Is FAP and DPF the same?
A FAP is not different from a DPF: they’re both designed to withhold the particulate, and they both have open and closed channels, but it differs in the way it facilitates combustion of the remaining dusts, reducing the number of spontaneous regenerations of the filter.
How much can I sell my DPF for?
How much can you scrap a DPF for?
Recycling is ideal because you earn money while you prevent the waste of potentially useful materials and reduce the consumption of costlier raw materials. Depending on PGM content and commodity prices, a failed DPF or DOC is typically worth $20–$700.
