DEF System Overview
• This presentation is designed to help provide an
orientation and maintenance of the system used to
help reduce the Nitrogen Oxides from entering the
atmosphere.
• This technology is used to meet the EPA 2010
requirements of 0.2 grams of NOx per brake
horsepower hour.

DEF System Overview
On the passenger side of the coach located
between the drive and tag tires is the
DEF (Diesel Emissions Fluid) fill door.

DEF System Overview What happens to the fluid once it’s added to the coach?
• First it goes to a 22 gallon holding tank positioned right
above the Drive axle.
• This tank has two sensors that
monitor the DEF temperature
and fluid level.
• This area is accessible by removing an access panel
inside the coach located in the center aisle.

DEF System Overview
• There is a supply line that carries DEF tank to the pump, and a return line to purge unused fluid back to the tank.
• All DEF lines have heating elements to prevent DEF freezing at temperatures less than 12 degrees Fahrenheit.

DEF System Overview
• Once the fluid is drawn to the pump, it is pressurized to 66-72 PSI then sent to the
DEF metering unit.

DEF System Overview
• Compressed air is supplied from the coaches auxiliary tank to a water oil
separator and to a pressure limiting unit, then tees off to the DEF Pump and the
DEF metering unit.

The coolant used to maintain engine temperature is also used to keep the DEF
system from freezing. The coolant valve will not open unless the DEF temperature
drops below 23 degrees Fahrenheit.

DEF System Maintenance
Refilling Air at the DEF Pump Module
• This can be done using compressed air.
• Control the air only with a pressure regulator.
• Set the regulator at 46psi to insure the correct setting.
CAUTION! Pressures higher than 46 PSI may damage the unit.
