← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when diesel particulate filters excessively restrict exhaust flow?
A)Diminished fuel combustion because oxidation becomes incomplete✓
B)Increased EGR rate affecting valvetrain dynamics
C)Turbocharger over-speed causing impeller damage
D)Elevated coolant temperature and thermal runaway
💡 Explanation
Excessive backpressure from the DPF forces the engine to work harder to expel exhaust, meaning less oxygen is available for each fuel injection cycle; therefore, fuel pools because of incomplete oxidation, producing soot rather than complete combustion.
