Click here to read about after-treatment of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) also known as AdBlue. We take a look at what diesel exhaust fluid is and why it’s needed.
Diesel exhaust fluid is a new approach to global emissions reduction. Learn more about DEF and what it does for your diesel engine.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is the reactant necessary for the Selective Catalyst Reduction System (SCR system) function. DEF is required for the proper after-treatment operation of your emissions system. It is a carefully blended aqueous urea solution of 30% high-purity urea and 70% deionized w...
Diesel exhaust fluid has a limited shelf life and can go bad over time. The shelf life of DEF is determined by factors such as temperature, exposure to light, and contaminants. If DEF is not stored properly, it can undergo chemical changes that affect its potency and effectiveness in reducin...

All told, diesel exhaust fluid is just as important to your vehicle as fuel, coolant, oil and all the other fluids you regularly check and replace. Your machine will not function without DEF, and you can face serious consequences from letting the DEF tank run dry. Learn more about T3's ...
If you drive a diesel RV, you may be aware of diesel high idle (sometimes referred to as “fast idle”), and your rig may even have a high idle mode or switch. But, what exactly is diesel high idle, and when should you use the high idle feature?
They are driven by a prime mover (usually an electric motor, diesel engine, or gas engine) that rotates at several hundred revolutions per minute (rpm). Every rotation causes all of the pump’s pistons to extend and retract — drawing fluid in and pushing it out to the hydraulic circuit ...
Diesel engine fluid (DEF) is similar to the diesel particulate filter (DPF) that removes soot from the diesel engine and stores it in the exhaust system, and it will clear out excess soot. Although the DEF can decrease fuel efficiency and performance, it can also cause problems with the sy...
Diesel gelling is when cold temperatures cause diesel fuel to turn from a liquid into a gel-like substance. The diesel fuel solidifies into a waxy or gel-like
