DPF Cleaning at Home – 9 Chemicals Tested (Diesel Particulate Filter DIY Ash Cleaning)

In today’s video we test out 9 chemicals on an end of life, ash clogged diesel particulate filter at home. To do this test I first cut open an old DPF and cut it into small pieces, and then test each piece to see if the chemicals can dissolve the ash build-up. The chemicals tested are: Wynn’s Off Car DPF Cleaner, Drain Cleaner, Swimming Pool Acid, Dishwasher tablets, 32% Vinegar, Acetone based paint thinner, Brake Cleaner, Cola and Alloy Wheel Cleaner. Watch and find out! Please note that these kinds of chemicals are for cleaning a filter that has been removed from a car, and should not be used for cleaning a filter in situ. To see how these chemicals are used in an actual DIY cleaning process once the DPF has been removed from the vehicle, then follow along with this video called "The No Damage DIY DPF Clean":    • The Non-Damaging DIY DPF Home Clean (...   Warning: None of these chemicals should ever be added to your fuel tank.
