Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)

Contact Woodford For All Of Your DEF Needs

What Is DEF?

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is a water-urea solution (32.5% high-purity urea and 67.5% deionized water). It is non-toxic, nonflammable, non-hazardous and non-explosive.

The purpose of DEF is to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) concentration in the exhaust emissions produced by diesel engines. The process by which NOx emissions are reduced is called Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR).

DEF is generally carried in a separate storage tank in diesel-powered vehicles equipped with SCR technology. DEF is injected into the hot exhaust stream of an engine and absorbed onto a catalyst. In this way it helps break down the NOx gases in the exhaust into nitrogen gas and water vapor, both harmless to the environment.

Why Should I Use DEF?

In order to help reduce smog and air pollution, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued NOx emissions standards in 2010 for diesel vehicles of all sizes. These emissions standards are very stringent and most light-duty and heavy-duty trucks are not able to meet the standards without using SCR.

How Can DEF Help My Fleet?

In addition to helping to meet NOx emission standards, DEF can also provide fuel savings. Fleet experience with heavy duty trucks model year 2010 and newer suggest 5% fuel savings compared to 2007 model year vehicles with similar engines.

Is All DEF The Same?

Not all DEF is created equal. You should make sure the DEF you are purchasing meets industry standards, including API and ISO requirements, to ensure it is manufactured properly, to high-quality standards, and is doing the job it’s supposed to do.
