The BG 12Q VIA® is designed to be used only with BG products described in these instructions. The use of any other chemicals or fluids with this system will void all warranties and could create hazardous conditions.
Initial Inspection
Before each use, inspect the general condition of the BG 12Q VIA®. Check for loose screws, misaligned or binding part of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, and any other condition that may affect the safe operation of the BG 12Q VIA®. If any of these conditions exist, have the problems corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment. CAUTION: All maintenance, service or repairs must be performed by a qualified service technician only.

BG 12Q VIA® Adaptor Set for Light Duty Diesel Trucks
PN 9300-100
(12 hole injector housing with 3.50 GPH spray nozzle)
This Service is Only Approved for:
- Ford 2008–2010 6.4L Power Stroke®
- Ford 2011–newer 6.7L Power Stroke®
- Dodge 2007–newer 6.7L Cummins
- GM Duramax (LMM) 2007–2010
- Talk to the customer. Ensure the vehicle is a proper candidate for this service. It’s crucial that the customer communicates any and all drivability issues.
- Verify the complaint. Identify the root problem. It may not be what you expected. Look at set codes and proper EGR function.
- Perform visual inspection. If any component on the intake, the engine, or the exhaust system (e.g. EGR cooler) appears to have been tampered with, confer with the customer before proceeding.
- Apply the correct, necessary BG procedure. A BG Diesel Induction Service may need to be performed prior to a BG DPF & Emissions System Restoration Service. Make sure you have adequate training to perform the service properly.
- Perform the BG DPF & Emissions System Restoration Service as instructed. If you have followed steps 1–4, this service has a greater chance of success.
- Always test drive and clear all codes after the service.
- Install 32 oz. (946 mL) of BG 245 Premium Diesel Fuel System Cleaner, PN 24532, into the fuel tank.
- Hook up a recommended OEM or similar diagnostic scanner to the ALDL connector in the vehicle.
- Start the engine. Verify the scanner is communicating.
- Run engine to reach normal operating temperature (180°F/82°C).
- Attach the BG Injector Atomizer to the BG 12Q VIA® service hose.
- Turn V3 Fill Valve to “Fill” (I) and V4 Vent Valve to “Open” (I).
- Fill the BG 12Q VIA® with 1 gallon (3.7 L) of BG DPF & Emissions System Restoration, PN 2581.
- Turn V3 Fill Valve to “Close” (O) and V4 Vent Valve to “Close” (O).
- Apply shop air to the BG 12Q VIA® coupler. G2 Pressure Gauge should read 90 PSI.
- Plug in to power source.
- Turn vehicle engine off.
BG DPF & Emissions System Restoration Service
PROCEDURE
- Separate air tube located at the engine air intake manifold.
- Install BG Universal Diesel Intake Adaptor to the air intake, make sure there is a solid seal, then install BG Injector Atomizer into the BG Universal Diesel Intake Adaptor.
- Air tube
- To air intake manifold
- BG Universal Diesel Intake Adaptor
- BG spray nozzle & injector housing
- BG 12Q VIA® service hoses
- BG Injector Atomizer
- Start engine and, at idle, confirm:
- Engine is at operating temperature (180°F/82°C).
- G1 Engine Vacuum Gauge reflects 1” Hg/100 RPM. Note: 10” Hg at 1,000 RPM is the minimum.
- Scanner data stream is communicating and monitoring each system.
- Scanner is set to read vehicle RPM, EGR temperature sensor and all Exhaust Gas Temperatures (EGTs).
- Identify sensor position pre- and post-DOC, DPF and SCR.
- EGR is set to 0%. Disconnect the EGR.
- Accelerate engine to 1,200 RPM. Check G1 Engine Vacuum Gauge reading and allow the EGT sensor (pre-DPF) to reach 600–900°F/315–480°C and stabilize.
- Turn Heater Switch (S) to “On” (I) and wait 5 minutes for BG 12Q VIA® to reach operating temperature.
- With all the engine parameters stable, turn V2 knob to “Process” (I). Make sure the flow indicator shows fluid flowing.
- Closely monitor the scanner data for any sign of rapid increase in Exhaust Gas Temperatures. RPM/vacuum may need to be adjusted to maintain DPF temperature of 600–900°F/315–480°C.
Note: Raising RPM will increase temperatures and vacuum; lowering RPM will decrease temperatures and vacuum. Adjust in 100 RPM increments. If any of the EGT sensors reach 1,200°F/650°C or rapid increase in temperature is observed, turn V2 knob to “Close” (O), remove throttle depressor and allow engine to idle.
- After flow indicator is clear, turn V2 knob to “Close” (O).
- Turn Heater Switch (S) to “Off” (O). Remove shop air. Press and hold the V1 Pressure Release until G2 Pressure Gauge reads “0.”
- Return vehicle to idle and run for at least 15 minutes.
- Monitor scanner data to make sure engine and cooling cycle of the DPF system are functioning properly.
- After exhaust systems have cooled, turn engine off.
- Remove adaptors.
- Reconnect air tube and EGR.
- Complete BG Diesel Engine Performance Service with BG EPR,® PN 10932, and BG DOC,® PN 11232.
- Test drive vehicle and clear any codes set during the service.
