Here’s what the trade has to say about K-Seal 

“The garages that have used it can’t give it enough 

praise” 

“Trade feedback is that K-Seal is a brilliant product. 

Of all the products they have tried they are now 

buying K-Seal by the caseload.” 

“When customers use K-Seal they do come back 

and tell you that it works and it’s brilliant. We 

haven’t had that kind of feedback for any other 

product.” 

“K-Seal is a remarkable product that sells itself 

better than any product we have ever stocked. 

Repeat sales are growing daily” 

Here’s what the public has to say about K-Seal 

“I have just used K-seal in my 1995 Omega to seal 

the head gasket and it worked a treat. What an 

excellent product, you’ve saved me a small 

fortune. Thank you”. Andy Lees, West Yorkshire. 

“Your product was amazing. I used it to repair a 

crack to my cylinder head on my Nissan cargo 

import. I had been quoted £650 for head repair 

and gasket. I used this product and it did the job 

curing all the leaks. I am totally in your debt and 

would recommend your product to my friends”.

product.” 

Commercial Vehicle Workshop 

Magazine, September 2008 

“I have a Toyota Lucida, a Japanese import, I had 

steam every morning on start up from my 

exhaust and was told worry its the cylinder head 

or at best the gasket I was quoted £1500 for the 

gasket & if the head was at fault £3000. Thank 

you cannot be said enough, this stuff KSEAL 

worked instantly. This is a brilliant product.”

K-Seal’s advanced formula uses ceramic 

microfibres together with copper particles of 

varying size to ensure a fast and 

permanent seal of most holes or cracks in 

the cooling system, up to 0.75mm. 

The special chemical formulation can flow 

into cracks so fine that they cannot even be 

seen with the naked eye to form a superstrength 

seal. The crack or hole is actually 

filled from top to bottom with the K-Seal 

formula resulting in a complete ‘weld’ and 

permanent repair. The copper in the K-Seal 

formulation not only contributes to the 

strength of the repair but it also helps to 

conduct heat across the crack or hole. This 

eliminates hot spots that would normally 

form with a non-metallic repair. 

K-Seal can be left in the cooling system and 

will continue to repair leaks as they happen. 

You won’t even notice that there was a 

problem. In fact, K-Seal is ideal to use when 

rebuilding engines. Often there can be 

micro-cracks which would go unnoticed after 

the repair has been completed. Adding 

K-Seal to the cooling system immediately 

after a repair and also after each coolant 

replacement ensures that any and all leaks 

are sealed thus preventing time consuming 

and costly returns. 

How Does K-Seal Work? 

When there is a crack or hole in the cooling 

system, this generates a low pressure area. 

K-Seal finds the low pressure area and 

deposits the special ceramic micro-fibre and 

copper formulation as it flows through the 

damaged area. Within seconds the crack or 

hole is completely filled with the ceramic 

micro-fibres and copper and the repair has 

been made. This seal is further enhanced by 

heat to form a repair that will last the life of 

the engine. K-Seal is specially formulated to 

permanently seal cracks in the engine block 

and head. This unique product is guaranteed 

to mix with all types of glycol based coolant 

and antifreeze. K-Seal can also be used to 

seal holes and cracks in the head gasket, 

radiator, heater core, freeze plugs, water 

pump casing and other metal components of 

the cooling system in both petrol and diesel 

engines. K-Seal will not seal water to oil 

leaks or oil to water leaks. It must leak to an 

atmosphere to be able to work properly. 

Strong Eye Catching Packaging 

Instructions for Use: 

1. Shake bottle vigorously (at least 30 

seconds) to ensure that the contents are 

evenly mixed. 

2. Add the entire contents to the radiator or 

overflow tank. (When adding K-Seal to 

the overflow tank, you can pre-mix the 

contents with 1 to 2 litres of water to 

ensure rapid dispersal into the cooling 

system). Do not pour direct onto metal. 

Note: K-Seal can be added to a cold or a 

hot engine. 

3. The leak will normally stop within 1 to 3 

minutes once the engine has reached 

operating temperature and the K-Seal is 

flowing freely around the cooling system. 

4. Top up the coolant as necessary leaving 

the K-Seal in the system for future 

sealing. K-Seal is compatible with all 

types of antifreeze. 

“9 out of 10 stockists said that 

Kalimex K-Seal was the brand 

that they prefer.”

K-Seal ULTIMATE 

Permanent Head Gasket Repair 

Permanently repairs coolant leaks in the head 

gasket, head and block 

Will also repair porous blocks 

Powerful trade trusted ceramic formula 

Safe and simple to use 

Added anti-rust protection 

Money back guarantee 

Freeze proof formula 

K-Seal ULTIMATE is simply the best product available for permanently 

fixing leaks in the head gasket, head and block of all water-cooled 

engines. The unique ceramic microfibre formula is scientifically 

engineered to seal leaks up to 0.6mm in size (according to ASTM 

D3147). Anything larger and the formulation simply passes safely 

through. This ensures that K-Seal Ultimate will fix serious leaks but will 

not clog even the narrowest waterways or components within the 

cooling system. 

K-Seal ULTIMATE is suitable for use with all water-cooled engines 

from motorcycles up to heavy duty trucks. Just 1 bottle will treat 

cooling systems with a capacity of up to 20 litres e.g. cars, light trucks 

and large SUVs. Anything larger simply add 2 bottles. Some 

competitor products require 2 or even 3 bottles for even medium sized 

engines making their solution exceptionally expensive. 

Unlike many other head gasket and block repairs, K-Seal ULTIMATE is safe to use with all 

types of antifreeze, including the waterless coolant types. Plus, K-Seal ULTIMATE can 

also be added to just plain water if required. So it doesn’t matter what coolant package is 

already in the system, with K-Seal ULTIMATE you simply shake the bottle, pour it into the 

cooling system and run the engine. As soon as K-Seal ULTIMATE starts flowing around 

the cooling system it will be drawn to the leak area where the unique combination of 

sealing ingredients will stop the coolant leak and then make a permanent repair – 

guaranteed. 

In a very few cases, K-Seal ULTIMATE is sometimes unable to make a repair. But with 

the 100% money back guarantee the customer simply contacts K-Seal directly to arrange 

a full refund (see website for more details) 

©Kalimex Ltd October 2017 


Scientifically Tested: K-Seal ULTIMATE has been thoroughly evaluated and tested by 

Brighton University Engineering Division. They used the American standard for coolant 

stop leak products, ASTM D3147, as the benchmark. Following a series of tests they 

concluded that K-Seal meets all the requirements of the standard. Amongst other things, 

this means it will fix leaks up to 0.6mm but will pass freely through a filter of 0.85mm, 

ensuring that K-Seal ULTIMATE is safe to use in even the most modern engines. 

Top Tips: 

• K-Seal ULTIMATE includes a freeze protection additive that makes sure it is ready for 

use even down to -38C. So even when the weather is freezing and the cooling system 

is cracked, K-Seal ULTIMATE will be ready for use just when you need it most. No 

other coolant leak repair product offers this benefit. 

• If the cooling system is over-pressurising then simply add K-Seal ULTIMATE directly 

via the radiator or the top hose. Alternatively drain a little coolant, mix it with the 

K-Seal ULTIMATE and add it back into the system. This delivers the formula directly 

into the cooling system to avoid it being trapped or blown out of the header tank. You 

can also remove the spark plug from the offending cylinder to reduce the pressure.

"Used...bottle on my saab 9-3t petrol after local garage 

quoted £1200 for head gasket. Car running fine now 

brilliant product thank you." 

“It's designed for head gaskets that the normal K-Seal 

might not repair.” 

“It's the ultimate one, excuse the pun, it does the job.” 

"I put this in my 2005 Cadillac XLR and fixed the issue, I 

am so happy. It was going to be $3500 by the local 

dealer to rebuild the engine, and who knows if that would 

have fixed it. What a product."

Industrial Strength Epoxy Putty and Paste 

VERSATILE 

QUIKSTEEL can be used to rebuild, 

reshape, and repair almost any type of 

surface including steel, iron, copper, brass, 

bronze, silver, aluminium, exotic metals 

found in racing bicycles, wood, glass, 

ceramic, fibreglass, boron, fibre-epoxy 

products, masonry, concrete, and many 

types of plastic. 

FAST DRYING 

QUIKSTEEL sets up in 4 to 5 minutes, is 

hard like steel in 15 minutes, and is 

completely cured and ready to drill, sand, 

tap, prime and paint in one hour. 

STRONG 

There are two ways strength is measured. 

One is on the horizontal plane -- this is called 

"shear strength" -- and the other is on the 

vertical plane and is called "tensile strength." 

Shear strength -- When cured (one hour 

drying time) QUIKSTEEL has a shear 

strength of 740 pounds per square inch. This 

means that when two pieces of material are 

bonded together with a one inch bond of 

QUIKSTEEL, it would take a pressure 

greater than 740 pounds to break the bond. 

That would be the equivalent to the weight of 

four to five strong men. For comparison, 

pine wood has a shear strength of 400 

pounds per square inch, so QUIKSTEEL is 

almost twice as strong as pine. 

Tensile strength -- QUIKSTEEL has a tensile 

strength of 6,200 pounds per square inch. 


This would mean that a piece of QUIKSTEEL 

one inch in diameter could lift the weight of 

three cars. 

HARD 

QUIKSTEEL is a very hard material. 

Technically it is rated at D-87. "D" is the 

highest hardness rating in the Shore rating 

system. QUIKSTEEL, when cured, can be 

compared to ABS plastic (material used to 

manufacture automobiles) or the fibre epoxy 

wings on the B2 bomber. 

When cured, QUIKSTEEL, can be processed 

in any way that you can process steel or 

wood. It can be turned on a lathe, machined, 

drilled, tapped, milled, sanded, sawed, 

routed, primed, and painted 

SEALS LEAKS UNDER WATER OR IN 

FLUIDS 

QUIKSTEEL cures under water and in all 

atmospheric conditions. Leaks can be 

sealed inside a container, tank, etc. with 

liquids still in the item to be sealed. For 

example, if a gasoline or diesel fuel tank has 

a rupture, QUIKSTEEL will seal the leak 

while the drainage is occurring. No need to 

empty the container prior to repair. 

IMPERVIOUS TO CHEMICALS 

QUIKSTEEL is impervious to chemicals, 

solvents, fuels, oils, and acids including 

battery acids. 

STEEL REINFORCED 

QUIKSTEEL has the maximum holding 

power because it is steel reinforced and 

manufactured using a proprietary blend of 

the highest grades of epoxy. 


THE QUIKSTEEL PRODUCT RANGE 

A QUIKSTEEL repair is strong like steel. 

Available in Grey, Aluminium & White 

WITHSTANDS TEMPERATURES OF 500°F 

(260°C) 

QUIKSTEEL maintains its qualities when 

exposed to a constant temperature of 500°F 

(260°C). QUIKSTEEL can be intermittently 

exposed to temperatures of 550°F (288°C)

DIRECTIONS FOR USE 

Preparation 

1. Using sandpaper and a wire brush, remove 

loose rust and contaminants around the crack or 

hole. Clean an area 1-inch in all directions 

around the crack or hole. 

2. When repairing a crack, relieve the stress by V- 

grooving the crack and drilling a hole (1/8 / 3mminch 

minimum) at each end of the crack. 

3. Remove any dirt, grease or oil with a solvent. If 

necessary burn off residue using a blow torch. 

Application to repair cracks and small holes up 

to 1/4-inch in diameter 

1. Using a screwdriver blade or ice cream stick, mix 

the QUIKSTEEL XTREME thoroughly. 

2. Apply QUIKSTEEL XTREME to the crack or hole 

and force it into the crack or hole if possible. 

3. Apply a layer of QUIKSTEEL XTREME over the 

top of the first application about 1/2-inch thick at 

the crack or hole and tapering off as the entire 

prepared area is covered. Smooth or shape as 

desired. 

2). There are several ways to accomplish the final 

cure of QUIKSTEEL XTREME. 

a) Allow QUIKSTEEL XTREME to cure for 24- 

hours at room temperature. Extend the time in 

colder environments. 

b) On a combustion engine, start the engine and 

allow the engine to idle for 15 minutes before 

driving the vehicle or operating the engine at 

normal work loads. 

c) Use a heating source (hair dryer, etc.), other 

than an open flame, that will raise the 

QUIKSTEEL XTREME to a temperature of 250 0 F 

/ 121 0 C. 

If bubbling occurs the product was cured too 

rapidly or the surface was not adequately 

cleaned and dried. Allow the surface to 

cool, scrape off the blistered material and 

reapply product to the area that bubbled. 

Application to repair holes larger than 1/4-inch in 

diameter 

1. Cut a section of fiberglass matting that is 1/2- 

inch larger than the hole in all directions. 

2. Using a screwdriver blade or ice cream stick, mix 

the QUIKSTEEL XTREME thoroughly. 

3. Apply a 1/4-inch layer of QUIKSTEEL XTREME 

to one side of the fiberglass material and place 

the fiberglass material over the hole with the 

QUIKSTEEL XTREME material face down on 

the crack. Press in place around the hole, but do 

not apply pressure directly above the hole. 

Allow to sit for 15 to 20 minutes. 

4. Apply a 1/4-inch layer of QUIKSTEEL XTREME 

over the top of the fiberglass material and taper 

it toward the edge of the prepared area. 

Curing 

1) QUIKSTEEL XTREME strengthens with heat; 

however, it must be properly cured before high 

heat or direct flame is applied. The first step is 

to allow the QUIKSTEEL XTREME to cure at 

room temperature for 3 to 4 hours. In colder 

temperatures, lengthen the initial cure time. A 

good test to determine if the initial cure has been 

accomplished is to press your thumbnail into the 

QUIKSTEEL XTREME. If you cannot dent the 

surface when you press your thumbnail into the 

QUIKSTEEL XTREME, it is ready for final 

curing. 

Finishing 

You can machine, drill and sand QUIKSTEEL 

XTREME after it is fully cured. When machining, do 

not use a lubricant. CAUTION: Wear a dust mask to 

prevent inhalation of sanding or machining dust. You 

can also tap QUIKSTEEL XTREME, but the threads 

are not strong like those tapped in a cured epoxy. 

Storage and Cleanup 

Store sealed container between 41 0 F / 5 0 C and 95 0 F 

/ 35 0 C. Do not freeze. Clean hands and area with 

soap and water. 

CAUTION: IRRITATING TO EYES AND 

SKIN. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF 

CHILDREN. IF SWALLOWED SEEK 

MEDICAL ADVICE IMMEDIATELY. 

Do not use to repair tanks or boilers that contain 

water or other liquids. 

QUIKSTEEL XTREME is an environmentally safe, 

water-based compound which is nonflammable and 

contains no solvents or volatile organic compounds. 

Dispose of in accordance with local laws & regulations.

Instructions 

1. Clean the surface to be wrapped. Begin 

by peeling the protective liner away from the

Petrol 

Catalytic Exhaust Cleaner 

A powerful complete fuel and exhaust system treatment to effectively reduce 

emissions, improve performance and save money. JLM, the innovators in diesel and 

DPF cleaning additives have developed the most powerful Petrol Catalytic 

Exhaust Cleaner available in the UK, with more active ingredients than any 

other brand – guaranteed. 

J03150 - Petrol 

Reduces Emissions 

Increases Engine Performance 

Improves Efficiency 

Saves Money 

Cuts maintenance costs 

Cleans injectors, carburettors and the entire fuel delivery 

system to keep them in optimal condition 

Eliminates sticking valves 

Prevents deposits of gum, varnish and sludge 

Protects against corrosion 

Eliminates rough idling and knocking 

Cleans Lambda sensor 

Improves the performance of the catalytic converter 

Unlike existing formulas, JLM have developed 2 distinctly separate formulas, one for petrol 

and one for diesel. This allows a more targeted and effective clean of the entire fuel and 

exhaust system to achieve maximum results. Plus, the JLM Petrol Catalytic Exhaust 

Cleaner also contains an octane booster to increase performance. All of this available in a 

concentrated 250ml bottle for easy application. 

Usage: Add one 250ml bottle to minimum 20 litres of fuel (can also be added to a full tank 

but results may take a little longer). Drive the vehicle normally to allow the additives to 

take effect. For best results retreat every 5000 miles and especially prior to the MOT test. 

Also suitable for MOT emissions failures prior to the retest. 

This test shows the clean-up performance of the 

product. In this test, the engine runs on a 

reference fuel for over 50 hours in cycles of 1 

hour. At the end of each cycle, the engine power 

is measured. After the cycles on reference fuel, 

the engine starts to run on fuel with JLM 

Catalytic Converter Cleaner. Again, the engine 

runs in cycles of one hour after which the engine 

power is measured. 



The test results show that the original engine power is almost completely restored when 

using JLM Catalytic Converter Cleaner. 

“A clean fuel system contributes to better fuel economy” 

An ECE 15 emissions test cycle has been conducted using a Golf FSI and an Audi A3. 

Fuel consumption of the vehicle was measured when operating on dirty injectors and using 

a base quality petrol. The vehicle was then run for 1000km in “clean up” mode using the 

same fuel with the JLM Petrol Catalytic Exhaust Cleaner. At the end of the clean up mode, 

the fuel consumption of the vehicle was re-assessed with impressive results: 

The Octane Booster 

Boosts octane level by 2 - 4 points. 

Improves and restores performance and 

cleans fuel intake systems. It also 

prevents exhaust valve seat recession, 

eliminates rough idling and engine 

hesitation and prevents spark plug 

fouling.

Diesel Air Intake and EGR Cleaner 

 

 

 

 

Dissolves carbon deposits, gum and 

varnish 

Quickly cleans EGR valve, air intake 

system, manifold and inlet valves 

Restores airflow to engine 

improving power and acceleration 

Reduces exhaust smoke 

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) is designed to 

reduce the level of nitrous oxide being emitted 

through the exhaust system. To achieve this, a 

proportion of the exhaust gas is diverted back 

from the exhaust manifold to the inlet manifold 

via an EGR valve unit to mix with the inducted 

charge. 

On older engines there 

are increasing failures 

with leakages from the 

EGR valve and to replace one can 

cost upwards of £150 

USE EGR CLEANER AT EVERY 

SERVICE TO MAINTAIN GOOD 

OPERATION OF THE INLET 

MANIFOLD AND EGR VALVE. 

Instructions 

Remove the hose between the turbo and air 

intake. Spray in short burst directly into the 

inlet manifold with the engine running at approx 

2000rpm until the engine runs smoother. Use 

approximately half the can (250ml) per 

treatment. Replace the hose when finished. 

Before Treatment 

After Treatment 

Typical sludge build up in the inlet manifold 

The system works well as far as reducing the 

oxides of the nitrogen on a new engine but in 

general on engines older than 2 years (35,000 

miles), the effectiveness is compromised by the 

sludge build up inside the inlet manifold. This 

further reduces engine performance and airflow, 

which in turn reduces combustion efficiency and 

increases other unwanted emissions, principally 

CO 2 and particulate emission. The sludge is a 

combination of oil and particulates (soot) 

meeting at the EGR valve inlet. The oil can be 

found leaking from the front bearing of the 

turbocharger (compressor side) but mainly from 

the breather system which is directly connected 

into the induction tube between the air filter and 

turbocharger on a tdi engine.

For vehicles converted to run on Autogas 

(LPG or CNG) it is important to protect the 

valves from excessive wear. Autogas fuel 

does not contain the special lubricating 

additives found in petrol or diesel, plus 

Autogas burns drier. This promotes excessive 

wear in the valves and valve seats leading to 

premature and costly failures. 

Although additives for use with Autogas 

fuelled vehicles have been available for a 

while, the JLM Valve Saver Fluid is the first 

product to ever receive the TüV Approval. 

Independent tests in road trials by the HTW 

University in Germany demonstrated no valve 

wear after 10,000kms using the JLM Valve 

Saver Fluid. 

Awarded Best

at GasPro 2011. 

The JLM Valve Saver Kit incorporates a 

400ml reservoir which will treat 400 litres of 

fuel, approximately 4000kms of driving. The 

kit is easy to install and, in addition to the 

comprehensive instructions included with the

Diesel Treatment Clean-up performance 

A Direct Injection Common Rail engine runs 

on a reference fuel for over 30 hours (in 30 

cycles of one hour). 

At the end of each cycle the engine power 

is measured. After the initial cycles on a 

reference fuel the engine starts to run on 

fuel with JLM Catalytic Exhaust Cleaner 

additives. 

The test results are incredible. As is clear 

from the plot complete power restoration 

and hence complete cleanup is achieved 

with fuel treated with JLM Catalytic Exhaust 

Cleaner. 



Keep Clean Performance 

Apart from the Clean-Up 

performance, JLM Catalytic 

Exhaust Cleaner completely 

blocks the formation of deposits 

within the injector holes or 

channels preventing power loss 

in all engine platforms, including 

the latest technology diesel fuel 

injectors. 

JLM Diesel Catalytic Exhaust Cleaner 

The only CEC to promote DPF Regeneration The 

JLM Catalytic Exhaust Cleaner is the only product of its 

kind to actively promote regeneration in the Diesel 

Particulate Filter (DPF). 

This lowers the ignition temperature of soot collected in the 

diesel particulate filter and optimizes periodic combustion of 

accumulated soot (filter regeneration). 

The unique combination of a clean fuel system, clean 

combustion with lower emissions and catalysed soot 

particles will assist in keeping the catalytic converter, 

exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR) as well as the turbo 

compressor and its variable geometry vanes clean from 

deposits. 

• Ensures complete and rapid diesel particulate filter 

regeneration 

• Reduces ignition temperature of trapped soot ensuring 

extraordinary combustion at temperatures typically 

encountered during normal engine operation 

• Prevents performance loss caused by clogged diesel 

particulate filters and incomplete combustion of soot 

• Reduces particulate emissions assisting in meeting 

strict legislation and emission limits 

• Extends lifetime of the expensive diesel particulate filter 

• Most economical way of soot reduction without any 

changes to the fuel system 

• Regeneration of diesel particulate filters is 5-10 times 

faster and more complete than when using a catalyst 

coated diesel particulate filter 

• No secondary emissions 

• Can be used for all diesel engines with standard or 

retrofitted diesel particulate filter

Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner - Car & Commercial 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi-Tech new formula specifically designed 

for use with the new generation of Diesel 

Particulate Filters. Cleans and prolongs 

filter life. 

The additive operates in two ways. First, it 

uses a catalyst to adhere to the soot 

particles during combustion, lowering the 

temperature at which they can be burnt off 

at. Secondly, the additive also increases 

the fuel burn temperature, in turn 

increasing the exhaust temperature. This 

increases the temperature inside the soot 

trap, burning off the soot and regenerating 

the filter. 

JLM DPF Cleaner burns of the soot at 

lower temperatures so it will not cause a 

‘runaway’ regeneration, or cause a DPF 

failure due to excessive heat during 

regeneration. 

Adding JLM DPF Cleaner to the diesel 

tank every service interval will ensure the 

filter regeneration takes place fully with all 

DPF types, in all driving conditions 

(dependent on soot load, filter condition & 

age). 

The 375ml J02210 tin will treat a fuel tank 

up to 60 litres and the J02215 Heavy Duty 

will treat up to 170 litres. 

Evidence of these systems 

failing to regenerate comes to 

light every day. In the UK, the 

AA is getting more & more calls 

from drivers with DPF warning 

lights indicating a filter 

blockage, and not knowing 

what it is or what to do about it. 

How does a DPF work? 

As with any filter they trap 

particles, in this case harmful diesel exhaust 

soot particles, so they have to be emptied 

regularly to maintain performance. For a DPF 

this process is called regeneration. 

The DPF needs to be cleaned regularly, 

through a process called regeneration, either 

active, passive or forced regeneration. 

The accumulated soot is burnt off at high 

temperatures (600C) to leave only a residue 

of ash, effectively renewing or regenerating 

the filter, ready to take on more pollution 

from the engine. 

About Diesel Particulate Filters & vehicle 

filter systems 

Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF), sometimes 

referred to as soot traps, are becoming more 

common today due to ongoing changes in 

emissions regulations. With Euro 5 standards 

now with us, Particulate Filters in diesel car 

exhausts are now as common as catalytic 

converters on petrol cars. 

This relatively new way to combat vehicle 

pollution has proven to be very successful in 

providing major reductions to diesel exhaust 

emissions but, as with any new technology, 

sometimes there can be problems. 

The Diesel Particulate Filter is separate from 

the Catalytic Converter. 



Not all vehicles have the same systems. 

PSA group vehicles – Citroen, Peugeot etc. and 

also some Fords and Volvos, have an active on 

board additive system with its own tank & pump 

that automatically doses the correct amount of 

additive to the diesel fuel. This active type relies 

on a fuel additive to lower the ignition temperature 

of the soot particles and, along with the engine 

management system, monitors the load of the filter 

with sensors. This triggers filter regeneration by 

altering engine timing and fuel flow settings. The 

additive is stored in a separate tank and is mixed 

automatically with the fuel when you fill up. The 

additive must be topped up regularly with PAT 

Fluid. This requires specialist equipment and 

involves resetting engine management systems. 

This must be carried out by a qualified technician 

approximately every 75,000 miles. 

For this vehicle type with on board dosing 

system use JLM J02270 DPF Refill Fluid 

Active regeneration: The active system works off 

a filter load limit or sensors reading exhaust 

backpressure or the ‘soot load’ of the filter, 

activating timing adjustments to the fuel injection 

which in turn increases the exhaust temperature, 

initiating the burning of the soot and regenerating 

or clearing the filter. Depending on the vehicle 

brand, This type of DPF regeneration can also be 

initiated by the vehicle ECU every 250 – 400 miles 

or so depending on vehicle use and takes around 

10 minutes to complete. 

For this type of DPF use JLM DPF Cleaner 

Passive regeneration: This generally takes place 

on the motorway where exhaust temperatures are 

higher. This type of system can have an integrated 

oxidising catalytic converter located close to the 

engine where exhaust gases are hot enough so 

that passive regeneration is possible. Passive 

regeneration relies on the exhaust temperature 

being high enough to automatically burn off 

deposits, e.g. motorway driving, or using the ECU 

to alter the vehicle timing to control the process. In 

city driving or short trips the regeneration may not 

take place fully. This causes the filter to become 

blocked and can lead to higher fuel consumption 

and a visit to the mechanic for cleaning or 

replacement of the DPF 

For this type of DPF use JLM DPF Cleaner 

initiating a regeneration of the DPF. This will also 

require changing the engine oil & oil filter. 

What causes the DPF to become blocked? 

Every vehicle type & engine combination can 

have differing reasons as to why the filter blocks. 

The rate of particulates generated by the engine, 

the quality of the fuel, quality of the oil, driving 

style, even the location of the DPF in the exhaust 

system can all contribute to filter blockages or 

insufficient regeneration. 

Generally, the problems arise in urban stop/start 

driving which prevents effective regeneration. A 

dashboard warning light or message will indicate 

the DPF is full. If you continue to drive in the 

same manner the soot build up will increase, 

further warning lights will illuminate and the 

vehicle will go into ‘limp’ mode. At this stage the 

only option is mechanical intervention. Having 

the DPF removed and cleaned can cost from 

£300 upwards. 

If the filter cannot be cleaned a replacement 

will cost up to £2000. 

Commons Causes of DPF Blockage 

Use low ash engine oil - not using the correct 

oil specified for your engine can significantly add 

to the soot build-up in the DPF. 

100% Diesel Bio Fuel - Using these Bio Fuels 

can also contribute to extra soot build up loading 

in your DPF as the Bio Fuel may not burn as 

‘clean’ (produce more particulates)as your regular 

Diesel fuel. 

City Cycle driving – We don’t all use our cars in 

the same way, if you only use your car around 

town you may experience a faster buildup of soot 

in your DPF as the regeneration process may not 

complete in short city or around town driving. 

Temperature - The DPF relies on temperature to 

carry out a filter regeneration, at around 600c, so 

a lot of short trips, low speed driving will not 

provide the exhaust system with a high enough 

temperature to begin or complete a regeneration, 

so the filter can block up faster. 

High Mileage Vehicles: As vehicles with DPF 

systems age it will become more difficult to 

achieve a successful regeneration. Like any part 

on the car they do wear out and can no longer be 

repaired . 

Forced Regeneration: When your vehicle 

displays second stage DPF warning lights it will go 

in to ‘limp mode’ and should be taken to your 

garage or dealer to ascertain the extent of the 

problem. A forced regeneration involves the 

garage using a computer program to run the car,

JLM Diesel DPF Spray J02220 is a spray that 

comes in a handy aerosol can and contains a 

high concentration of active ingredients to 

clean and dissolve dirt. JLM Diesel DPF Spray 

cleans and regenerates dirty and blocked 

diesel particulate filters by reducing the 

combustion temperature of particulate, which 

means that it combusts earlier and faster at a 

lower engine temperature. JLM Diesel DPF 

Spray can be used in all old and new diesel 

engines in all vehicles with a particulate filter 

Diesel DPF Spray is the fastest and cheapest 

way to help your client to get back on the road 

as soon as possible, whilst at the same time 

providing additional profit margin in the 

workshop. Diesel DPF Spray J02220 is ideal 

for garages when they are presented with 

vehicles with an illuminated particulate filter 

warning light. 

Vehicles that are used to make short journeys 

or are rarely driven on motorways do not 

become warm enough, which means that they 

regenerate (clean) the particulate filter poorly, 

or not at all in many cases. Diesel DPF Spray 

offers a solution for the engine symptoms of 

loss of power or increasing fuel consumption 

that is caused primarily by driving short 

distances. 

JLM Diesel DPF Spray restores the 

particulate filter's full capacity and ensures 

that exhaust gases can once again be 

expelled by the exhaust without any 

resistance. 

Spray JLM Diesel DPF Spray into the 

particulate filter prior to forced regeneration 

(by means of a test drive or OBD) to clean 

the filter and help the vehicle pass its tests.

DPF problems? 

In order to regenerate properly the DPF must 

reach a high temperature, something which 

only happens during extended driving cycles. 

Diesel powered vehicles used in urban or 

stop/start driving environments are unlikely to 

reach the required operating temperatures to 

regenerate and clean the DPF. As a result the 

DPF becomes clogged and eventually the 

vehicle will go into ‘limp’ mode. At this point 

the filter must be cleaned before permanent 

damage occurs. This is where the DPF 

Cleaning Kit from JLM comes in. 

The JLM DPF Clean & Flush Fluid Pack includes: 

 

 

DPF Cleaning Fluid (500ml) 

DPF Flush Fluid (1500ml) 

The JLM DPF Cleaning Toolkit includes: 

 

 

 

 

 

New MOT rules now prohibit the removal 

of the DPF (a bodge to try to bypass the 

original problem). Any vehicle originally 

fitted with a DPF must have this in place, 

and working, in order to pass the MOT. 

Spray Gun 

Sprayer Tank (with special coating) 

Transparent Hose 

2 x conical nozzle 

DPF Probe (optional extra) 

The process involves thoroughly cleaning the 

filter with the stage 1 cleaning fluid followed 

by flushing out all the residue with the stage 

2 flush fluid. Everything needed to complete 

the work is included in the JLM Cleaning 

Toolkit but the optional DPF Probe can also 

be used to aid the process depending on the 

type of DPF being cleaned. 

Note: This kit is for professional use only 



Instructions 

Step 1. Fill the sprayer tank with step 1, JLM DPF 

Cleaning Fluid 

Step 5. After flushing, dry the sensor hose 

thoroughly and reconnect. 

Step 2. Connect the conical nozzle to the soft hose 

of the front DPF pressure sensor. Steadily spray 

the all cleaning fluid into the DPF for approx. 1 

minute and let it settle for 2-3 minutes. 

Step 6 (recommended). Add 1 x JLM DPF 

Cleaner to prepare the DPF for optimal 

regeneration. 

Step 3. Now run the engine for 2-3 minutes at 

2-3000 RPM. Make sure a collector is placed 

under the exhaust. 

Step 7. Start a regeneration cycle via the on 

board computer following vehicle manufacturer’s 

guidelines. Reset any warning signals related to 

the DPF. Alternatively drive the vehicle for 

approx. 20 minutes at suitable speed / RPM to 

initiate a regeneration cycle.

• Compatible with all makes and models 

of vehicles from 2001 onwards, as well 

as being the most reliable and costeffective 

choice for all on-board 

fuel-borne catalyst systems. 

• JLM Refill Fluid is a universal aftermarket 

replacement for diesel particulate filter 

additives for all on-board fuel-borne 

catalyst systems. 

DPF Refill Fluid (PatFluid) 

• PSA vehicles (Citroën, Peugeot and also 

some Ford & Volvo) have an active on 

board additive system with its own tank & 

pump system that automatically doses the 

correct amount of additive to the diesel 

fuel. This active type relies on a fuel 

additive to lower the ignition temperature 

of the soot particles and along with the 

engine management system, monitors the 

load of the filter with sensors & triggers 

filter regeneration by altering engine timing 

& fuel flow settings. 

The additive is stored in a separate tank 

and is mixed automatically with the fuel 

when you fill up. This dosing tank needs 

filling up with Refill Fluid & associated 

equipment that then involves system 

resetting. 

The JLM Refill Fluid re-filling procedure 

should only be performed by a 

professional mechanic. 

• A low cost fuel borne catalyst, which is 

used to aid regeneration of particulate 

filters in diesel passenger cars and vans. 

• DPF Refill Fluid is made up of an 

advanced bi-metallic formulation to 

maximise performance. 

• For vehicles with no on board dosing 

system use JLM DPF Cleaner – Part 

J02210. 

• Benefits: 

‣ Higher performance than existing 

products 

‣ Cost effective 

‣ High reliability 

‣ Can be used in all on-board dosing 

systems 

‣ Ensures long term durability of diesel 


‣ Facilitates passive regeneration 

across a wider temperature range 

‣ Prevents run-away regeneration 

which can otherwise damage filter 

substrate 

‣ Minimises unscheduled maintenance 

costs 

‣ Leading passenger car alternative for 

the aftermarket 

The JLM Refill Fluid replaces all OEM 

fluids including PSA Particulate Fluid 

973665, 997995, 973685, 973686,

DPF PatFluid Refilling Instructions 

The DPF additive can sometimes be stored in 

a separate tank or bag within the vehicle and 

at some time in the vehicle’s life the tank or 

bag will need to be refilled. 

Vehicles with bag type reservoirs are located 

in a housing and are easy to remove for filling. 

Now, using the JLM Refill Fluid transfer 

solution, it is not only possible to fill the tanks 

but also the bags. 

One easy step that avoids the need to replace 

the whole bag by a simple gravity feed 

method. 

Easy filling of existing reservoir: 

The JLM DPF Refill Fluid re-filling 

procedure should only be performed 

by a professional mechanic.
