Why ?!
So I was reading the internet one night at work, and I came accross some site that stated some tunes for newer pickups that were like 200-250 hp that passed emissions without the DPF on.
Here's why I'm curious....
Instead of adding a DPF and regen's, why didn't they just add a propane system ?
200 HP would cover 80% of most power in most driving situations, and the remaining fuel could be provided from a bottle....
I'm sure a propane system could have been implemented cheaper than a DPF, and would have operated a lot nicer.
On a side note, has anyone noticed how black and sooty some tailpipes are on some newer gas vehicles? When are they getting particulate filters?

But consider DEF fluid... magically had to appear as the need suddenly arose.
Propane availability is nothing new... easy to install systems as needed.
