Where does the Def go in a diesel engine?
It’s contained in a reservoir separate from the fuel tank and is metered into the engine’s exhaust stream to control certain emissions. Inside the exhaust pipe, the DEF vaporizes and decomposes into ammonia and carbon dioxide.
How many miles does a DEF tank last?
According to the owner’s manual, a full DEF tank should last 6300 miles, but, as everyone knows by now, your mileage will vary.
Where is the DEF tank in a Range Rover?
That reservoir’s fill cap is under the hood atop the left fender. According to the owner’s manual, a full DEF tank should last 6300 miles, but, as everyone knows by now, your mileage will vary. While there’s no DEF gauge in our Range Rover (some vehicles have those now),…
When is the first warning on a Land Rover?
We soon discovered that the earliest warning is fleeting and easy to miss. According to Land Rover, the first message—“Diesel exhaust fluid level low”—occurs at around 1500 miles before the no-restart doomsday.

Can you use def fluid on an older diesel truck?
Don’t try to use DEF fluid on an older rig – it is ONLY for vehicles equipped with the SCR system. Although that may sound obvious, unknowing owners – and even well-meaning service station attendants and techs at non-diesel shops have thought that if DEF is so good for new diesel trucks, it should be good for older diesel as well.
How many gallons of Def fluid to top off?
As a general rule, when the DIC shows a DEF level of anything except OK, you can add at least 2.5 gallons (9.5L). The amount to add to top off will vary. I didn’t say the def usage wouldn’t increase, I said the ratio of def to fuel woudl stay the same. When fuel usage is higher, def usage will be higher.
How is Def consumption related to engine load?
The amount of DEF consumed also is a function of how hard the engine is working, or engine load. Consequently, it is more representative to compare DEF consumption to the amount of fuel consumed (also a function of engine load) instead of miles traveled.
