Care-Free System for Diesel Engine Exhaust Fluid

When operating a trucking or shipping fleet, having diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) on the lot is just as important as the diesel fuel tank. Filling up on fuel right on the lot is fast, convenient, and cost-effective. The same is true for exhaust fluid because a full tank of pure, high-quality BlueDEF will last for seven-thousand miles. That vehicle can go across country and back depending on the route without the driver needing to refill the exhaust fluid tank.

Delivery

Experienced companies, such as PEAKHD, have nationwide delivery of DEF to fill delivery requests quickly. Fleet managers can call as delivery is needed or arrange for a regular schedule of deliveries to coincide with the needs of the lot. Once delivered, the fluid must be kept in certain containers to avoid contaminating it. Exhaust fluid is corrosive to metals, so containers and pumps cannot be made of metal. Specks and particles of metal will end up in the fluid and compromise the efficiency of the entire exhaust system.

Emission Compliance

Another reason to have exhaust fluid on-hand is to remain in compliance with emissions regulations. These numbers are steadily going down as pollution increases. The current design of exhaust system, which had to be completely redone to meet 2003 regulations, works well with regulations and will continue to meet requirements for the foreseeable future. Having direct control over the product used and the distribution system means compliance is not a concern.

Storage

Another component of diesel exhaust fluid is that it freezes at twelve-degrees Fahrenheit. Portable containers, mini bulk containers, and larger ones that will be stored outdoors will require some type of insulation to prevent freezing. The company offers a full line of containers, pumps, and accessories to provide care-free storage of exhaust fluid. Large fleets can be accommodated with bulk tanks buried underground just like diesel fuel tanks. Discuss lot needs and space with a representative to determine the ideal solution.

Efficiency

Any way to improve efficiency for a fleet is a wise investment because that keeps trucks on the road instead of parked on the lot. A care-free system for exhaust fluid will improve efficiency during routine maintenance, getting a truck ready to roll, and keeping track of inventory and operating expenses. Just in time delivery saves time and money. Pure fluid saves money, and efficiency improves productivity which helps make money. Consider investing in on-site exhaust fluid deliveries and containers to make operations go smoother and get trucks on the road faster.
