Note: Contact Cummins at 1-800-CUMMINS for all service if
the DEF tank assembly is still within warranty. Warranty may be
voided if service is conducted by anyone other than Cummins
service personnel.
Note: The following procedures are only to be performed when
warranty is expired.
Cleaning of the DEF System is only required when the
system is exposed to contamination. If DEF quality is in
question, obtain a sample from the DEF tank and place in a
clear container. DEF should be crystal clear with a light
ammonia smell. If the DEF appears cloudy, has a colored tint
or has a strong ammonia smell, it is NOT likely to be within
specifications.
Ensure the DEF solution is the correct specification.
Cummins recommends using only DEF solutions that
maintain 32.5% (+/- 1.5%) of urea content by weight. The
urea content can be easily checked with a Refractometer
(pn 70011925). The DEF solution must meet the
requirements International Standard ISO 22241-1 for diesel
engines. There is no acceptable substitute. For engines using
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Systems, operating in
the United States and Canada, DEF certified by the American
Petroleum Institute (API) is recommended for use.
DEF should be stored in sealed containers and at 23° to 77° F
(-5° to 25°C). Avoid storing containers in direct sunlight to
assure better shelf life.
Note: The DEF header cannot be cleaned if contaminated. It
must be replaced. Ensure a replacement header has been
obtained before beginning DEF system cleaning procedures.
