How does EGR delete help with fuel efficiency?

You can improve your fuel efficiency with an EGR delete. When you can restore the power levels to your diesel engine, then you’re also restoring its overall fuel efficiency. You’re now sending the exhaust gas away from the engine when using an EGR delete kit, which means it begins to run cleaner.

Do you need to install a EGR delete kit?

If your EGR valve is already blocked with soot, then you’ve created an EGR delete without the need to install a kit. That’s why some owners choose to just keep the valve instead of run with the delete kit.

What happens when you close the EGR valve?

By allowing cooled exhaust back into the intake, the combustion temperature of the engine becomes lower than the 1600°C. I should note that at idle and full throttle, the EGR valve is closed, and does not allow any exhaust into the intake.

Can a DPF / EGR delete be used on a diesel truck?

A DPF/EGR defeats the purpose of these devices, causing your diesel-powered truck to produce harmful soot and other particulates. If you live in a state that requires emissions testing for diesel-powered vehicles, a DPF/EGR delete can actually prevent your vehicle from passing those tests.
