Peak Blue Platinum DEF
Here's a new DEF product that maybe worth trying. Link

If you take time to read thru the links I posted above, you will see that deposits from DEF into the SCR system is a long known problem. If the liquid atomized particles hit a hot surface and dry before they evaporate they will form deposits. And over time the build up of those deposits lead to problems of possible back pressure. And that would lead to reduced fuel economy. Those of you with chemical backgrounds may understand the whole process from reading the articles.
From the links above there are multiple mechanical attempts being tested to reduce those deposits. Obviously the new Peak DEF doesn't do anything to the mechanical aspects of the system. But somehow manipulating the chemical aspects of the DEF might increase the evaporation rate and reduce the deposits. Obviously a better DEF would be cheaper solution than a mechanical modification to the system.
No more DEF than I use in a year's time the small amount of money for the new and improved "Platinum" DEF is nothing and I will begin using it until proven otherwise.
