Flo~Pro? DPF-R? Wednesday, 14 July 2010 21:36 |  Written by Rulon |   
Q. Is Flo-Pro and DPF-R the same thing? A. NO.
We have had some feedback concerning some confusion as to how our DPF-R product line relates to Flo-Pro. I will take a minute and try to clear this up. DPF-R has never been part of Flo-Pro nor has Flo-Pro been a part of DPF-R. DPF-R is the brand name of a line of products designed and manufactured by Gear Box Z INC. Some of the confusion comes from the fact that Gear Box Z sells Flo-Pro pipes with the DPF-R product line. As a result of some research we are finding that much of the confusion is arising in the fact that Flo-Pro has been using pictures of DPF-R products on the Flo-Pro website to sell their own DPF Deletes. Some other sites that sell the Flo-Pro DPF deletes have been using the same pictures as well as using the name DPF-R in the description. The whole point of this blog is to make the public aware of this discrepancy as we have had some instances of customers sending us Flo-Pro's DPF Delete for warranty and are being told by those they buy from to give us a call. So the long and short of it is that if you are buying a product from Flo-Pro you are NOT buying a DPF-R product .
The Pictures Below were taken from Flo-Pro DPFCAT09FEB16 that can be downloaded here http://www.flopro.com/DPFCAT09FEB16.pdf The Pictures Below are Pictures of DPF-R products, however the product you will receive if you order these products will look much different as Flo-Pro manufactures thier own delete electronics. We are not sure why they choose to use a photo of our product as apposed to taking pictures of there own.

THE DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) is an exhaust filter designed to reduce PM (Particle Matter -soot/black smoke) from the environment. This is not green house gas, it is fine dust that settles to the ground. The DPF is a system consisting of: A filter and a complex monitoring and maintenance system, to keep the filter operating correctly. The filter itself is made of a special catalyst which, the exhaust from the engine is forced thru, before leaving the tail pipe. The filter collects PM. As the PM accumulates exhaust pressure builds up behind the filter. The truck computer monitors the pressure, and when it determines the filter is clogged it injects raw diesel fuel into the exhaust system. Which ignites in the filter and re-gens (burn's), the PM out. This re-gen cleaning cycle happens from every 100-300 miles and lasts from 15-45 min. This re-gen cleaning cycle, only happens when vehicle is at speeds above 45 mph. LONG TERM EFFECTS It reduces engine power because of the restriction in the exhaust caused by the filter. Reduced fuel economy, because of lower engine performance, and wasted fuel used in re-gen. Increased wear and tear caused by soot backing up into the turbo and EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) and diesel in the oil. During re-gen fuel is injected into the engine during the exhaust stroke. Small amounts of this fuel leaks past the piston and into the engine oil, thus dilutes the oil, which reduces the oil's ability to lubricate the engine properly, causing extra wear and reduced engine life. This can be prevented by replacing your oil after every 1000 miles.
