Can ARB verified particulate filters damage truck engines?
In theory, yes but in actuality, this would be rare. Drivers must operate their vehicles in a way that conforms to the manufacturer’s instructions for the retrofit device. Attention to proper use and maintenance details will help avoid the potential for engine damage. For example, ignoring a backpressure warning light may result in damage to the retrofit device and may stop the engine. As is true with the use of any new device or product, proper training for drivers and maintenance staff will help minimize problems.
