Carbon B-Gone DPF Cleaning
On-Site Regeneration, Fast Turnaround, and Emissions Compliance
Monson Truck & Trailer Repair is proud to be a certified Carbon B-Gone provider for heavy‐duty Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) cleaning. Using the patented BAC101 chemical process, we restore clogged DPFs to “like-new” condition without removing the filter—delivering restored engine performance, improved fuel economy, and guaranteed compliance with emission standards.
Why DPF Cleaning Matters
Why DPF Cleaning Matters
A clogged DPF leads to increased backpressure in your engine, causing:
- Reduced horsepower and acceleration
- Higher fuel consumption and operating costs
- Frequent forced regenerations (or a stuck warning light)
- Potential damage to turbochargers and exhaust components
Rather than paying for a costly replacement or dealing with downtime, Monson offers Carbon B-Gone on-site DPF cleaning to:
- Eliminate soot, ash, oil, and carbon deposits
- Restore proper exhaust flow and sensor function
- Extend DPF lifespan by thousands of miles
- Ensure compliance with EPA and CARB emission regulations
How the Carbon B-Gone DPF Cleaning Process Works
How the Carbon B-Gone DPF Cleaning Process Works
Initial Assessment & Diagnosis
- Technician performs a quick ECU scan for DPF-related codes (e.g., P2002, P2458).
- We measure differential pressure across the DPF at idle and on a brief road test.
- Visual inspection of the DPF housing, sensors, and turbocharger connections.
Prep & Safety Measures
- Park the vehicle on level ground; let the exhaust cool (DPF roughly 100°F–150°F).
- Technician dons PPE (gloves and safety glasses) and positions a drip pan under the DPF to catch runoff.
- Remove the upstream pressure sensor or O₂ sensor for direct access to the DPF channel.
BAC101 Part A/B Injection
- Mix 200 mL of BAC101 “A/B” concentrate with 1.6 L of water in a pressurized spray pump (total volume = 1.75 L).
- Inject the solution directly into the DPF via the sensor port while the engine idles.
- Allow 15 minutes for chemicals to penetrate and break down soot, carbon, and oil residues.
Idle Regeneration & Part C Application
- Maintain engine idle for another 15 minutes, flushing out loosened contaminants.
- Mix BAC101 “Part C” concentrate (200 mL) with water in the spray pump. Inject into the DPF to bind remaining ash/soot and form a slurry for road-mode expulsion.
Reinstallation & Leak Check
- Reinstall the pressure or O₂ sensor and tighten to spec.
- Start the engine, inspect all clamps, gaskets, and connections for leaks.
- Let the engine idle for 5 minutes to ensure no warning lights or codes appear.
Forced Drive Regeneration
- Tech recommends a 20–30 minute highway drive at 50+ MPH. This heats the DPF to ~600°F, expelling residual ash and ensuring complete regeneration.
- Post-drive, we complete a final differential pressure check—confirming at least a 50% backpressure reduction.
Key Benefits of Carbon B-Gone DPF Cleaning
Key Benefits of Carbon B-Gone DPF Cleaning
Rapid Turnaround
Most cleanings are finished in under 1 hour—no need to drop off your DPF or wait days for results.
Cost Savings vs. Replacement
A new DPF can cost $7,000–$12,000. Carbon B-Gone’s cleaning costs a fraction of that and extends filter life by tens of thousands of miles.
Improved Fuel Economy & Performance
Lower backpressure reduces EGTs, prevents turbo lag, and restores lost horsepower—translating into immediate gains at the pump.
Emissions Compliance
Meet or exceed EPA and CARB standards for soot, particulate, and NOx output. Clean filters lower PM10 and PM2.5 emissions.
Preserves OEM Warranty
Because there’s no hot‐soak or aggressive blasting, all OEM sensors, housings, and gaskets remain intact. This process is approved by major DPF manufacturers.

Our Carbon B-Gone Service Offerings
On-Site BAC101 Chemical Cleaning
- No Filter Removal Required: We inject Carbon B-Gone’s BAC101 solution directly into your DPF through the existing sensor or pressure port—no costly disassembly.
- Fast, “Drive‐Away” Regeneration: From start to finish, most DPF cleanings are completed in 45–60 minutes. Once the process is done, you can immediately resume road service.
- Precise, OEM-Approved Process: BAC101 is a noncaustic, water-based chemistry that targets all four culprits that clog your DPF: soot, ash, oil, and carbon. It meets or exceeds manufacturer guidelines.
- Guaranteed Results: We measure differential pressure before and after cleaning to confirm the DPF is fully regenerated. If performance gains aren’t met, we’ll re-service the unit at no extra labor cost.
DPF Inspection & Diagnostics
- Pre-Service Scan & Visual Check: We use advanced diagnostic tools to confirm DPF restriction levels (dP sensor readings, temperature profiles, and ECU codes).
- Post-Clean Validation: After BAC101 cleaning, we verify differential pressure drop—your DPF must show at least a 50% improvement in backpressure.
- Check Related Components: While on site, we inspect turbochargers, EGR systems, pressure sensors, and downstream exhaust for leaks or damage that can compromise DPF performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my DPF cleaned?
For highway-driven trucks, every 80,000–100,000 miles is recommended. If you spend extensive time in stop-and-go or heavy idling conditions, more frequent service (60,000 mi) may be necessary.
Can Carbon B-Gone handle particulate filters coated with ash and oil?
Yes. BAC101 is formulated to break down oil‐caked soot and ash that cannot be removed by traditional forced regenerations or reverse‐flow methods.
Does this process void my engine or exhaust warranty?
No. Because the DPF remains in place and no high-pressure air or heat blasts are used, Carbon B-Gone is fully OEM-approved and preserves all sensor and housing warranties.
My DPF warning light has been on for weeks—can you still clean it?
In most cases, yes. As long as the filter is not physically cracked or welded shut, BAC101 can dissolve and flush out deposits. A quick on-site inspection will confirm viability.
How long before I see performance benefits?
Immediately. You’ll notice restored idle stability, reduced turbo lag, and cleaner exhaust as soon as you complete the forced drive regeneration. Watch your fuel economy improve on the very next tank.
