Danger Under the Floorboards

Previous Diesel Particulate Filtration Systems would utilize the engines resources to filter out and burn off trapped soot particles. However, this method poses safety hazards when the system does not operate correctly:

  • A Diesel Engine is a Compressor
  • Early Systems direct Hot Exhaust to either Muffler or Filter direct Superheated Combustible Gas to Trapped Hydrocarbon Soot Particulate - Simulates a Shotgun Shell
  • Packed soot can catch on fire and incinerate the vehicle
  • System Malfunction Can Cause Explosion

Smoke Blotter® Emission Control Systems eliminates these potential hazards through it's unique system design where exhaust first flows to the muffler which acts as a spark arrester, then is diverted to the filter chamber before filtration.
