General description Ford EcoBlue diesel engines utilize a fuel vaporiser in their exhaust system, located just upstream of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), to enhance the DPF regeneration process. Reports indicate that these vaporiser units can become blocked, leading to regeneration failures and DPF issues. In response, Laser Tools designed the DPF Fuel Vaporiser Spanner (Part No. 8100) for easier removal of the vaporiser. Additionally, to address the common issue of thread damage during removal, this thread chaser has been introduced specifically for the exhaust vaporiser used by Ford.
