The OEMs may not have to inject as much fuel straight into the DPF
DPF is an illusion because it consumes fuel to make less soot and the soot it does make is smaller and more hazardous.
Plus, I thought the boogy man was CO2 not soot?
Also if "it doesn't use much fuel" then why will activate regen not start if a vehicle has less than 1/4 tank of fuel?
If it "doesn't use that much fuel" why on newer trucks where people are deleting the DPF people are seeing 10% to 20% fuel economy improvements?
