What is DEF?

DEF is a solution made up of purified water and 32.5 percent automotive-grade urea that is used as a carrying agent for the ammonia needed to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from vehicles into nitrogen, water and carbon dioxide (CO2). EPA 2010 vehicles equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology will use Diesel Exhaust Fluid.


Diesel Exhaust Fluid is monitored for quality and certified by the American Petroleum Institute, ensuring that Diesel Exhaust Fluid is a stable, non-toxic, odorless and completely safe solution. The urea used for Diesel Exhaust Fluid is automotive-grade. Urea in additional forms is widely distributed for many other industrial and agricultural needs, including emissions control at public utilities and power plants.


Diesel Exhaust Fluid, otherwise known as automotive-grade urea, is a very stable product with a comparatively long shelf life. According to industry sources:


  • If Diesel Exhaust Fluid is kept to temperatures between 10 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, it will last a minimum of 1 year without problems.

  • Big bulk dispensers (1,000 gallons) have internal climate control systems.

  • In cold temperature regions it is recommended to store Diesel Exhaust Fluid in a storage unit. In warm temperature regions it is recommended to store Diesel Exhaust Fluid in a shaded area.

  • New climate control systems specifically for Diesel Exhaust Fluid are being developed.
