    This coming year I am getting 4 new trucks, they all have the Cummins X15.
    What parts of the emissions system need maintenance, and how often.
    This is new territory for me.
    Thanks

    The main thing is do not put DEF into fuel tank, it should be fine otherwise if you follow manufacturer's instructions)

    Are all of your current trucks pre-emission?

    Biggest thing with the emission engines is to make them work. They like heat. DEF degrades over time. With your type of operation I'd buy it in barrels, rather than from the pumps. At least you know the quality is good if you test it when you unseal it.

    I know a guy who did that. Apparently he didn’t know the DEF had its own pump? I still don’t understand how he managed to fit the diesel nozzle in there, but maybe I don’t want to know.
