Both your EGR system and DPF are crucial after-treatment systems that must be kept in good shape. At Blackwater Diesel, we’ve got the tools and resources to fix EGR and DPF issues of all kinds. From forced regeneration to EGR valve repair, we’ve got you covered.
Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) are designed to catch soot and carbon before it’s allowed to exit your heavy-duty exhaust system. This makes sure that harmful material doesn’t reach our natural atmosphere, therefore minimizing your diesel engine’s effect on our environment. Although DPFs don’t need maintenance all that often, they do need occasional regeneration. In this case, regeneration refers to burning off the material stored inside the DPF in order to make room for more carbon. In most cases, this regeneration happens automatically, however, if your DPF regeneration sensors fail, you may need to force that regeneration to occur. At Blackwater Diesel services, we’ve got all your DPF needs covered. From forced regeneration to major DPF repair, we’ve got you covered.

Curious as to how your exhaust gas recirculation system works? Well, the goal of an EGR system is to reduce your engine’s NOx output by dropping your combustion temperature. To do this, your EGR reroutes spent exhaust gas through a cooler and then back into your combustion chamber. This flow is facilitated by a primary EGR valve, which opens and closes in an effort to tailor the influx of cooled exhaust to the temperature of your engine.
Since your EGR valve is regularly subjected to unfiltered emissions, your EGR valve can seize up and malfunction over time. This means the flow of exhaust gas won’t be controllable, which will in turn have negative impacts on your heavy-duty diesel engine. Common symptoms of EGR valve malfunction include performance issues, stalling, a rough idle, and hard starts.
