1204F - DEF System Supplement
5.2.1 Coolant Connections
Coolant must be supplied from the engine to the DEF tank header in order to heat the DEF in cold
conditions. The coolant is supplied via the coolant valve which is controlled via the DCU.
Coolant is taken from the coolant outlet on the engine to the coolant valve, then to the tank header,
returning directly back to the engine at the water pump inlet.
The table below outlines locations specifically for this purpose. If you wish to feed and return coolant
using ports normally reserved for cab heater connections please contact your applications engineer.
Table 5.2 – Coolant connection Details
See below Fig 5.2 for identification of acceptable location to use on the engine for feed and return.
