Diesel exhaust fluid

[bucwheat]

Anybody ever hear of such,I went to NAPA to buy the additive for the coolant system and they brought out a gallon of Diesel exhaust fluid. They tell me people use it to cut down on exhaust emmisions.

It's used on Big trucks, Its liquid nitrogen based and goes thru a burner with the exhaust to get rid of emissions... Won't do your truck any good... DON'T put it in your fuel!!!!!!

It's used on the new trucks, it's used on the new 6.7 it's expensive and not worth it, it's mainly made of pee so if you had one and were stuck in the middle of nowhere you could pee in the tank it has and would be ok.

Dirty-max uses exhaust fluid as well. Don't think Cummins has made the switch yet...
It's designed to reduce NOx emissions I believe. From what I've heard, it works until the tank runs dry. Then there are some driveability and mpg issues.

its not literally pee, its called urea, not urin lol, but yeah its an emissions thing on the newer rigs, i was under the impression that it was a requirement on all new diesel's

Correct. All 2012+ diesel trucks have it, i'm not certain about cars though. Our 3/4 and 1 ton trucks at work including our box trucks use it. I don't know why Ford started using it before they had to, I guess to get ahead of the pack? Chevy wasn't very smart about it, the tank is under the passenger door and the filler tube is under the hood on the passenger side. It looks tacky hanging below the truck.

i saw it on an 11 ford, it was under the bed (this was a tow truck) btw urea and urin are different guys, urin aka your pee is more ammonia than anything

Thanks for clearing that up guys.

Just got a 2012 passat tdi and it has it

i think all 2012's are required to have that set up, its why so many countries have more diesel options then the united states, damn those epa guys lol
