How much DEF do I need?
The average consumption of DEF is typically 5 to 8 % of diesel usage. On average, you will need about 5 to 8 Liters of DEF for every 100 Liters of diesel.
How should I store DEF?
Proper storage is essential for maintaining DEF quality. It can be stored for up to one year if kept away from direct sunlight and protected from extreme temperatures. DEF’s freezing point is -11 degrees Celsius, but it retains its quality after thawing. It should be stored in a sealed package and in a well-ventilated area.
Why should I choose SCR with DEF over other technologies?
Choosing Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) with DEF offers a fuel-efficient solution with lower NOx emissions compared to other technologies. Major truck manufacturers in India currently offer SCR-equipped models, and the BS VI emission standard is expected to further drive the demand for this technology.
Why does DEF quality matter?
The quality of DEF is crucial, as various factors can affect its performance. To prevent contamination, it is essential to ensure that foreign matter does not come in contact with the solution. DEF is produced in a clean environment, free from dust and contaminants. Contaminated DEF can result in catalyst replacement costs.
