Abstract
An exhaust device for a diesel engine supplies liquid fuel () from a supply source () of the liquid fuel () to a gas generator () which converts the liquid fuel () to flammable gas () and from which a flammable-gas supply passage () is conducted, the flammable-gas supply passage () having a flammable-gas outlet () communicated with an exhaust-gas route () upstream of a diesel-particulate-filter (), the flammable gas () flowed out of the flammable-gas outlet () being burnt in exhaust gas () to generate combustion heat which can burn fine particles of the exhaust gas () remaining at the filter (). In this exhaust device for a diesel engine, a case () for containing the filter () accommodates at least part of the gas generator ().
