DEF junk

When I was hauling petroleum products - big sign at GATE on regen of tractor , must be outside of refinery property , NO REGEN on or near any area on property or their frontage road to gate .
  Was bad enough when company filled their bulk tank for tractors and it went below Zero and filters gelled - of over 150  tractors .  I got back to yard after buying 40 gallons of #1 as my tanks were low enough . 
 The full idea of a water based fluid and in a area of freezing temp is another government SCREW UP of some Desk Jockey who doesn't even know how to hold a steering wheel in a Class 8 truck without getting a nose bleed from the height to cab 

More states and industrial side suppliers getting on this train. Does so little while costs so much not just initially but constantly. A running joke as to how much it cleans up the air which is minimal at best.

Engine companies showcase EPA “Estimations” of what level of exchange and conversion these garbage piles perform. Is on the engine company sites, 20-30% particulate reduction which means 20 is typical 30 is likely from a brand new distance driven road tractor in the 11 western states in the Summer. Produces water and Co2 from the CO in exhaust is a flatout lie, the water comes from the DEF not the engine exhaust. As well as with the auto systems even on Gas the US could be witnessing 35-55mpg gasoline cars instead of 22-35 and 8+ instead of 6+ on diesel powered road trucks. Saving Fuel should be priority one not burning more claiming polluting Less, that math does not compute.
VW proved this point with their cheat as the machines passed Drive By emissions checks achieving 45mpg on diesel, was a insider that squealed as to the programming mods to attain mpg and still meet air quality that cost them a bundle. VW in EU achieve close to 50mpg on diesel, 40-45 on gas and 2/3 that here. Science can be fascinating as to finding idiot flaws.

yes, but science stands in the way of 'someone' making their 10%
