I’m reading this usage is more prevalent in Euro trucking?
DEF fluid? Is that like VIN number and ATM machine?
Not true. Truck ECM's can be programmed to run without it. It just isn't legal to do so.

Buy Tesla stock?
Tesla is supposed to be releasing their semi in 2023.
It will be tens of thousands of dollars more than other semis, but the fuel savings alone should pay for the difference in a very short time.
I don’t see a limit imposed by Home Depot. I just put 10 in my cart and it was allowed.
The total solids in urine are on average 59 g per person [per day]. Urea is the largest constituent of the solids, constituting more than 50% of the total.

So if all new trucks since 2010 are required to use the DEF, how many older trucks can be pressed back into service to take up the slack?
DEF = Urea....just pee in your DEF tank!! ;-)

So, all the trucks in California which are transporting goods from the docks are about to run dry...
Why don’t they use solar, or wind powered, trucks?
The author is an idiot. DEF is NOT mixed with the diesel.
DEF sensors trigger the crippling of the engine through the computers.
My questions are: Are these sensors tied to the sheer volume of liquid in the DEF reservoir or are they actually triggered by the chemical in the fluid?
If it is a volume sensor, and if the fluid is injected directly into the exhaust, why could you not fill the reservoir with pure water?
DEF does not mix with the diesel fuel and does not go into the engine.
The other point is the sensors’ ability to “disable” the engine can be bypassed. It may be illegal but destroying truck transport over this stupid emissions regulation seems absurd.
Will the federal government proceed to stop deliveries of food and starve Americans over a extreme emissions regulation?
Where are the thousands of DEF enforcement police needed to monitor and shut down all the truckers who would disable the sensors so they can keep driving and delivering what Americans must have to survive?
Will this foolish EPA requirement lead to the starvation of millions?
Not sure why anyone would waste their time reading something sourced from “Facebook/Unknown.”
Trucks can be run without DEF. In fact, DEF deletes on late model pickups are very common.

My son heard about the scarcity and dumped his diesel last January.
So, if Tom Donilon dies in an unfortunate car accident, will the problem disappear?

That explains who influenced the WH to halt shipping of all railroad grain and fertilizer products and related commodities (of which Urea would be one).
