•  A metallic catalyst consisting of cerium and iron is used in the fuel additive. Due to this soot particles can be burned off faster and combustion occurs at a lower temperature.
•  Each time the fuel tank is filled, a metered quantity of fuel additive is injected into the fuel tank where it mixes with the fuel.
•  When fuel mixed with low concentrations of fuel additive burns in the cylinder, cerium oxide particles bind with the soot particles.
•  The homogeneously bound cerium oxide/soot particles are then filtered out by the diesel particulate filter, where they become embedded.
•  As a result, the oxidation process during regeneration can be accelerated considerably by the large number of contact points between the cerium oxide catalyst and the soot particles, and it can also take place at a lower temperature.
