Tip on draining your def tank.

Most time its a sensor , had the same issue .

 

Thanks for responding to my question.

I found the quality of def has been very consistent, we’ve had issues with some from large tanks where they had water introduced into the tank but overall, no real issues. Sensors however, that’s a different story.

I bought a truck cheap last year with def quality error, the owner kept draining the tank, actually drilled a hole and put a ball valve to drain it. If he took it the truck to the dealer (1.5 miles away from where he stored the truck he could have had it fixed).

My mechanic looked at the truck before I bought it and said easy fix sensor issue. He even offered to fix it for the owner with no labor charge but the guy didn’t take him up on the offer. I cut the check, had it delivered to my mechanics shop, he replaced the entire tank and all the items in the tank. Not a stick of problems since, a very dependable truck.

 

Planning on retiring soon???

 

It's a common code for sensors or something.

I'm hearing even cars get it.

The one time I had it. I think both sensor and dozer got replaced. I think. It was 7 years ago and under warranty.

 

Actually it is ammonia and water. Very similar to the Anhydrous Ammonia that farmers use on their crops. The only "damage" that DEF will do is make the weeds grow real big and strong where the OP dumped it.

 

I love the "urine" comments about DEF. Just because Urea sounds like the word Urine, people assume they are interchangeable. Please look up Urea before you have truckers chasing down cows next to the highway to fill their pee tank!

 

No, it's not actually pee. It's more of a joke to say it is. I am shocked anyone still pays money for the biggest scam in trucking since double brokering became a legit business method.
