Fuel Vaporisers

Specialist Components to Champion the Independent Aftermarket

VXPRO Fuel Vaporisers are designed specifically for use in select Ford diesel applications where passive DPF regeneration is supported by fuel injection directly into the exhaust system. These components are precision-engineered to OE standards to ensure proper atomisation and delivery, which is essential for maintaining DPF performance and preventing regeneration faults.

With a growing number of modern diesel vehicles using this technology, VXPRO fuel vaporisers help independent workshops maintain profitability, avoid comebacks, and compete with dealer-level repairs.

Backed by a 5-year warranty and supported by TechASSIST and StockASSIST, VXPRO is here to help you Champion the Aftermarket — even with specialist components.

TechASSIST: Product Support and Information

Fuel vaporisers are a critical part of the emissions control system in Ford’s 1.5, 1.6 and 2.0 TDCi diesel engines. Their purpose is to: Inject fuel into the exhaust system upstream of the DPF, aiding passive regeneration Vaporise fuel efficiently so it combusts cleanly in the DPF under high-temperature conditions Prevent DPF blockages by supporting regular soot burn-off without the need for active regen events Minimise oil dilution and unnecessary DPF replacement — saving customers money and protecting workshop reputation Without a working fuel vaporiser, DPF regeneration may fail, leading to increased soot accumulation, limp mode activation, poor performance, and rising back pressure.

Why Do They Fail?

Fuel vaporisers are exposed to extreme exhaust temperatures and carbon buildup, making them susceptible to:

  • Internal clogging from soot or oil contamination
  • Overheating due to prolonged active regen attempts
  • Fuel supply issues such as injector line blockages or poor pressure
  • Electrical failure at the connector or heater element

Symptoms of Failure

When a fuel vaporiser fails, technicians may observe:

  • Frequent or failed DPF regenerations
  • Check Engine Light (MIL) with DPF or vaporiser-related fault codes (e.g. P24xx, P2002)
  • Limp mode activation due to high DPF backpressure
  • Poor fuel economy from excessive active regen cycles
  • Increased soot accumulation and risk of forced DPF replacement
  • Difficulty completing a successful forced regeneration with a diagnostic tool

Fitting Tips

  1. Always clear any DPF-related fault codes before and after replacement
  2. Inspect and clean the injector pipe to ensure fuel can flow freely
  3. Use a new sealing washer where required
  4. Perform a forced regeneration using a scan tool to verify successful operation
  5. Check for updated ECU software — Ford has issued calibration updates related to DPF and vaporiser performance
