What's DEF? I don't get it. Can someone tell me what's going on here?

[–] • 11 pts

DEF = Diesel exhaust fluid. Used to reduce emissions in big diesel vehicles. Not fuel.

Oh that's funny, I HAD a diesel that used that shit, and didn't get the pic either!

And the nozzle for diesel is about twice the size

It's a separate hose from the diesel nozzle and is about the same size as your regular gas nozzle.

What @altident said. I'd like to add that it's useless for a variety of reasons including the plastic bottles that get discarded everywhere and it reduces your fuel milage. A lot of drivers have it deleted (illegal). I worked for a company that had every truck def deleted and never had an issue. It will void the warranty and most of the bigger shops and dealer shops won't touch your truck after though.

It's crazy. You can't pull on the fuel island without at least 1 sitting beside the trashcan.

I keep 2 in the side-box for the rare situation that I'm out of network or forget to fill it and need def but I keep the jugs and just refill them at the pump the next time I get def.

Deleting any emissions control on a diesel is the only way to diesel.

I agree. If I ever owned my own truck I'd delete that shit immediately. I'm a company jockey though so I could care less.

I don't have any plans to buy a truck anymore either for the time being. Loads are paying great right now but the economy is too shaky to consider it. It's just too much of a shit show to invest in something that big.

DEF= Deisel Exhaust Fluid. It's basically synthetic horse piss that's meant to reduce emissions on deisel engines.

"Specifically, DEF is an aqueous urea solution made with 32.5% urea and 67.5% deionized water."

You weren't kidding... wat the fuck

Amonia bonds with NOx becoming ammonium nitrate + co2.

I suppose she's putting the wrong fuel but we don't DEF fuel here in Wafflistan

It's an additive for diesel fuel. It's not even gas.

Don't put diesel fuel in your gasoline powered car. That's not even fuel its an ammonia additive to control emissions.
