Installation of DEF Pumps into Totes and Drums

Before installing DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) pumps into totes and drums, it is important to know everything about DEF. This would give you a good idea on how to take the appropriate steps and find out the best solution for you. DEF is an organic and non-toxic compound composed of 67.5% DI water and 32.5% urea. In a Selective Catalytic Converter System (SCR), the diesel exhaust fluid is included to the diesel exhaust. It happens in presence of a catalyst to change the smog producing nitrogen oxide into safe water vapor and nitrogen.

After that, the emissions in the exhaust can meet the new stricter emission standards of EPA for new diesel vehicles. In order to meet the new guidelines, diesel trucks have the on-board DEF storage tanks that range from 16 to 30 gallons.The main requirement of a SCR system is the steady refilling of such storage tanks.

How are DEF Pumps used?

In order to fill storage tanks, you can use drum transfer pumps for a higher volume and an open system container,seal-lesscentrifugal pump for an effective custom engineered dispensing system. It is important to employ only reliable DEF pumps for high-quality and non-contaminating materials that do not have to compromise the strict purity requirements of diesel exhaust fluid.

Installation of DEF Pumps into Totes and Drums 

You can use a barrel adapter to install a DEF Pump into a 55 gal (208 L) or 330 gal (1249 L). Ensure that the barrel adapter is added properly with the each pump in a right order. In case you face any trouble in the process, get in touch with the customer service provider of the manufacturer. If the DEF pump is in the warranty period, it would be installed or repaired as per the requirements.

Warning: Always protect the drum to prevent tipping. DEF is pumped through the drum, and particularly when there are only a few gallons left, so make sure that the unit should be top-heavy. This would prevent any unexpected situation and help you use the DEF pump without any trouble.

Caution: Ensure that you transfer the DEF pump directly from the used container to a new one. Never allow the pump to get in touch with any foreign material. 

Ordering of the DEF pump is the most crucial aspect that you should consider for the best outcome. This will give the optimum result and help you work on it efficiently.
