Jimmy, I like that you explain things, in a way that people can understand. I would like to say a few things about Jimmy and his work. Jimmy, is totally independent from my Company, Launch UK. He simply found our DPF treatment to be better than others he had used. He uses our product, but a range of others as well. I have sold DPF cleaning products for many years and, I have not personally come across an individual that has as much understanding as Jimmy. He gets the job done. He was the first to realise the importance of temperature and knows more than anyone about what might be the cause of the problem. I endorse him, in the same way that he endorses my choice of good quality product in our tins and bottles. You will all benefit from his understanding.

Useful analogy, but my understanding of the chemistry is that the soot is basically pure carbon which burns off to gaseous CO2 during regen cycles whether forced or passive. The ash is formed from additives in the engine oil such as zinc, magnesium etc which form solid salts when they burn and block the channels within the DPF - the oil comes from the crankcase breather mechanism and through losses in the piston rings - hence needing to use low-ash oil on DPF equipped diesels. I recently bought a 180k diesel with DPF (with DOC) that was blocked with ash and cleaned the ash out of the DPF off the car by dissolving the ash in an alkali followed by acid bath (safely I should add!) - the strands that came out look like limescale (there was no soot whatsoever) - the ECM was reporting soot content of 50g before, it now sits at a steady 13.5g calculated based on the differential pressure it seems - if it does another 10k I'll be happy :)

The tiny last snippet you explained was what people were struggling to understand, i think also what gets overlooked is not often you mention that the diesels have a catalytic converter in them that handles alot of the nasty gases. So i think people are thinking when your cleaning a dpf that the ash or soot coming out is full of dangerous chemicals.

This is nothing to do with engines but I've found those incinerator bins work better with a second bigger upside down bin on the top with a big hole cut in the base of the second bin. You get a nice column of hot air to rise up the sides and come out through the air gap between bins and burn all the smoke.

When the dpf doing a regeneration and burning off particulate some off the particulate is released into the atmosphere has it burns. Has the system ages it burns at lower temperatures because it’s less efficient and therefore releasing a lot more contaminants into atmosphere before the dpf packs in and needs replacing

so surely then, at the point that the dpf is blocked with ash and you need to replace it, then the ash is essentially disposed into the environment, via a DPF recycling centre? I think DPF's are just to reduce emissions at point of use, and reduce the amount of ash over a non dpf diesel, but don't erradicate the waste to zero.
