Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is a high purity chemical fluid and should be treated similarly to engine oil. Never store Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) in old oil or diesel tanks. Never add anything to Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). For example adding water to Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) will damage your SCR system and could void your vehicle warranty. By providing the right kind of storage for this chemical, safety can be maintained – and the integrity of the product can be preserved. The Poly Processing DEF System Several of Poly Processing’s features can make your storage system work for handling DEF. An IMFO® system is ideal for ease of cleaning and preventing contamination, since the tank drains at its true bottom. Heat pads and insulation can help keep the chemicals at the optimal temperature, greatly reducing the chance of separation and settling.
