Ash, a byproduct of oil consumption from normal engine operation, builds up in the filter as it cannot be converted into a gas and pass through the walls of the filter. Partial filter technology is popular for retrofit. Running the cycle too often while keeping the back pressure in the exhaust system low will result in high fuel consumption. In the European Union, filters are expected to be necessary to meet the Euro.
Coal mines are common users — the exhaust gas is usually first passed through a water trap to cool it, and then through the filter.

The dealer had to order some type of additive to clean the turbo charger and they did 3 cleanings with 3 cans of cleaner on a machine to let the engine run. In some cases, in the absence of a fuel borne catalyst, the combustion of the particulate matter can raise temperatures above the structural integrity threshold of the filter material, which can cause catastrophic failure of the substrate.
