Background A catalytic converter (CC) is an emissions device used to regulate and control the level of pollutants released from the exhaust pipe of your vehicle. If someone, (likely a mechanic) has mentioned that your catalytic converter is clogged, you’re probably left scratching your head thinking how on earth do you get it to be UN-clogged? The purpose of this write-up is intended to help you do precisely that - unclog your CAT converter.

Intro Walker is a company that has its origins dated back to 1916. It has since then become an industry leader in the emissions control product sector. They offer a full line up of emissions controls and exhaust products for the replacement and original equipment manufacturer markets. Walker Catalytic Converter The converters can be outfitted on both import and domestic vehicles. This write-up discusses catalytic converters and provides the best Walker catalytic converter reviews to help you decide which CAT converter to choose.

Intro Despite the musings of a few “industry experts” diesel engines are not on their deathbed. In fact, most recent US light-duty vehicle market suggests otherwise. In 2014 16.4 million vehicles were sold in the United States alone. Of that total, three percent were diesel equipped. In Europe the number is closer to 50%. Recent analysis shows diesel technology has an upward path of 168% expansion for the 2018 model year.

Introduction Many people new to diesel engines often ask the question - what is AdBlue vs Blue DEF? Here's the short answer: AdBlue and Blue DEF are generally the same stuff, they are simply different brands of DEF. AdBlue and Blue DEF are just trademarked names used by two different companies to market diesel exhaust fluid or DEF and so they are quite similar with little differences. DEF or Diesel exhaust fluid is a special fluid that you pour into a special thank and is then injected into the exhaust pipeline to reduce the amount of air pollution created by the diesel engine.

Manufacturers, distributors, retailers of DEF have done an exceptional job of securing the fluid from contamination along the supply chain. Consumers overlook elements that lead to big headaches — like storage units not made of the proper material or DEF pumps with the wrong seals. One of the last essential parts along the chain is a DEF cap. It is a big mistake to assume all fuel caps are the same.

Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) has served to improve toxic diesel NOx emissions, down to 15 ppm (parts per million) from over 500 ppm. Expect revisions to the 2010 EPA regulations in the next few years. DEF will play a substantial role in controlling diesels nitrous oxide and other particulate matter. DEF can not be allowed to infect diesel fluids including fuel, oil, and coolants. ON the other side of the coin, DEF cannot be tainted without severe damage to the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system.
