Featured Product - Blue Ox (Diesel Exhaust Fluid)

Blue Ox (Diesel Exhaust Fluid)

With the EPA 2010 standards in effect, no heavy-duty diesel engine can emit levels of nitrogen oxides (NOx) higher than .2 g/bhp-hr (grams per brake horsepower-hour). Blue Ox DEF has the solution.

Blue Ox DEF is one of the key elements of the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) process used by most medium and heavy-duty engine builders to meet EPA 2010 regulations.
• It is a nontoxic solution and is not a fuel or fuel additive. Instead, when injected into the exhaust stream and passed over a catalyst, Diesel Exhaust Fluid helps convert NOx into nitrogen gas and water vapor – two harmless and natural components of the air we breathe.
• Stable, colorless and odorless, and meets ISO Standards 22241 for purity and composition and is an American Petroleum Institute (API) certified diesel exhaust fluid. These are the highest quality and safety standards in place to ensure optimum SCR performance.
• Making sure you do not run out of BLUE OX Diesel Exhaust Fluid in a SCR equipped truck is simple – watch the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) gauge, which is part of the diesel fuel gauge, for when it is time to refill.
• Stored in a dedicated tank next to the fuel tank on the driver's side. The tanks range in size from 6 to 23 gallons depending on the truck's application. The DEF tank fill opening is designed to accommodate a DEF fill nozzle to ensure only DEF is put into the tank. A diesel fuel nozzle will not fit into the DEF tank opening.
• DEF begins freezing at 12° Fahrenheit (-11° Celsius). If DEF freezes, the engine will start and run properly (no de-rate or malfunctioning lights). A DEF tank heater will thaw the fluid for use and at no point will this affect the operation of the engine.
