[. . . ] DEF is used with diesel engine exhaust systems to reduce the amount of emissions produced by turning Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) into nitrogen and water vapor. DEF technology has a proven track record since it has been used in Europe for years. Driving range between Def tank refills The SCR system uses DEF at a rate of about 1 to 1. 25% of the vehicle's diesel fuel usage. A full tank of DEF provides a driving range of about 5, 000 miles (8, 000 kilometers). Since DEF usage is directly related to fuel consumption, range will vary depending on driving conditions. purchasing Def DEF is available at GM dealerships and most major truck stop chains. [. . . ] The SCR system is covered under the emissions limited warranty just like any other emissions component. However, system damage caused by using incorrect fluid is not eligible for warranty reimbursement. API-certified DEF is available at GM dealerships and most major truck stop chains. GM DEF is available in a variety of package sizes to service both individual consumers and fleets, including: 1- and 2. 5-gallon jugs, 55-gallon drums and 330-gallon totes. For your convenience, listed below are the GM part numbers for the 1- and 2. 5-gallon sizes. · 1-gallon part number is 88862659 · 2. 5-gallon part number is 88863523 If you need assistance locating DEF, the U.

Do trucks equipped with scr have a Diesel particulate filter (Dpf)?The DPF serves a different function than the SCR; it helps remove soot from the exhaust. For 2011, the range between Duramax DPF regeneration cycles has been lengthened by 75% and is now up to 700-miles. This improves fuel economy performance since less diesel fuel is required to clean the DPF. Yes, DEF will freeze--at approximately 12ºF. If DEF is frozen, the vehicle will start as it always has. As soon as the vehicle is started, the DEF tank and lines are electrically heated to ensure adequate DEF delivery in cold weather. Remember, since this system was designed to operate in cold weather, there is no impact on cold-weather engine operation. Does Def expand when it freezes and if so, how does it impact the tank?The vehicle's DEF tank and all DEF packaging is designed to accommodate any expansion that may result from being frozen.
