Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
Prompt and Courteous Delivery Provided
Beginning in 2010, vehicles equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology will require the use of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). This new technology exists to lower emissions in order to improve our environment while also complying with the latest standards of the Clean Air Act. We are excited to offer Air1 DEF from Yara, the leading DEF producer in the world, along with a complete line of dispensing equipment.
What is Diesel Exhaust Fluid?
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is a very pure, aqueous, solution of urea which meets the automotive industry specification defined by ISO 22241. It is a clear liquid similar in appearance to water. DEF is safe to handle and use; it is not explosive, flammable, toxic, or subject to any hazardous product regulations. The product can be purchased in a variety of bulk or individual sizes.

Storage facilities can be tailored to suit customer needs allowing for the usual precautions to prevent spillage into nearby drains and watercourses. DEF has an official shelf life of 12 months if the stipulated storage conditions are observed. However, DEF that has been stored for longer than 12 months may still be perfectly usable and simply needs to be analyzed to check that it still conforms to the DEF specification. Yara has partnered with U.S. distributors to ensure a guaranteed supply of DEF throughout North America under the brand name Air1. Air1 is a unique concept developed by Yara to ensure a secure supply of the high-quality DEF needed in your Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system.
Air1 is increasingly available at public filling stations, truckstops, automatic filling stations, chemical distribution depots and most major truck manufacturers' dealerships. Yara's partnership with Diamond Oil, offers you the most efficient and economic DEF supply. With a comprehensive distribution network of more than 100 sites, Air1 is never far away from your site.
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
Nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in heavy-duty vehicles are being reduced further by the introduction of the new emission standards in the United States.
The requirement to reduce emissions started with 2010 models. To comply with these emissions, vehicle manufacturers are introducing vehicles equipped with SCR technology. A new product called DEF is used with the SCR technology to reduce the emissions from the exhaust gas of the vehicle.
Diamond Oil is excited to offer DEF available from Air1, a professional, state-of-the art and flexible DEF solution provider. Air1 is the market leader in Europe where SCR vehicles have been widely adopted and is now available throughout North America.
