The safe water-based, non-toxic and non-flammable fluid is sprayed into the vehicle’s intake system before the turbo inlet whilst the engine is running. As the fluid passes through the engine system it locks on to built-up oily/carbon deposits and strips away a surface layer. These tiny carbonised particles are no larger than the soot particles the engine naturally generates, making it a perfectly safe process for vehicles fitted with a Diesel Particulate Filter.
