What is it with DEF?
Just what is the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) ? What does it do and why do I need it? This is my first diesel and I never heard of it.

The way it came to the market by engine was based by how many engines the engine manufacturer produced. Ford was one of the first as they make few diesel engines by the numbers. (mostly for their pickup line.) Cummins was able to hold off as they made quite a number of engines. Think about the pickups as well as the over the road trucks. They are also big in the industrial line like marine, generators, well pumps etc. So in the big picture it was something that the federal government phased in by mandates. Engine manufacturers had to make a certain percentage of their production line meet the mandate. With that said, it is a far more efficient way of meeting the emission standard than some of the other ways that were previously used. It is by far a less power robbing way of doing the same thing.
Further, there are FleetPride truck part company's across the united states selling that DEF for around $10.00 or less per two gallon container. It does pay to shop the product. Don't spill it as its nasty when it dries.
