GSF seek stockists for their patented cleaner
GSF Car Parts are looking for stockists, for their summer-launched Vetech Professional DPF Cleaner, which has already risen to become a top seller.
SMMT figures starkly illustrate the rise of diesels; they exceeded petrol engines on new UK cars for the first time in 2014. Diesel particulate filters (DPFs) have been standardised since ‘Euro 5’ emissions standards kicked in during 2009.
“An Achilles heel for DPFs is lack of driver awareness,” said John Wright, Garage Essentials Manager at GSF Car Parts. “Over time they often become blocked by soot deposits.”
With most cars, the ‘regeneration’ process, which burns away accumulated soot, depends on high engine temperature over an extended driving time. DPF problems have spiked sharply in recent years, with stop-start city driving, or short journey patterns, a common cause.
Vetech DPF Professional Cleaner hits a gap in the market between cheap, but often ineffective, pour-in treatments and the expensive options of specialist off-site cleaning, machine-based treatments or replacement.
The non-flammable patented solution is supplied in 5 litre containers making it a simple line for factors to stock and sell, and for garages to keep on the shelf. It’s suitable for all aluminium, magnesium, zinc or cadmium parts, and all latest generation DPFs.
To use it, the DPF is removed, then filled with the solution overnight. The liquid gently breaks down and cleans the residues. Afterwards, simply rinse with clean water and refit.
Adam Cooper of Specialist Vehicles in Plymouth said: “I thought it would be worth a go, I'm fed up of having to replace DPFs.
"It was really easy to use. We just filled the DPF up with the fluid, left it overnight, emptied it in the morning and it worked straight away - not a problem at all.
"The customer was expecting to have to replace his DPF so he ended up saving a fortune."
GSF Car Parts say the decsion to release the product for other motor factor stockists will allow more garages, and ultimately the wider aftermarket, to benefit. The proven formulation is under a patent which GSF control.
Garages are advised to contact their local branch to order, motor factor or stockist enquiries should be by phone to 0121 7498801.
