What is DEF?
DEF, an acronym for Diesel Exhaust Fluid, is the trucking industry’s response to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards requiring all medium and heavy-duty diesel vehicles to significantly reduce engine emissions, particularly nitrous oxide as well as particulate matter. It was mandated to come into use beginning with 2010-manufactured engines.
DEF is a clear, colorless, non-hazardous liquid looking exactly like water but that has a slight odor of ammonia. It is composed of urea and deionized water. The urea component is an organic compound made up of nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon and oxygen.
We might be in some trouble here in the next couple of months. Step up your prepping. Watch the video link below for more information...
This summer is probably going to be really rough.
