Diesel engines are a critical part of fleets of all sizes, but like any hardworking equipment, they require regular maintenance and upkeep. Diesel engines are also known for producing harmful emissions, including smoke and nitrogen oxides. These byproducts can negatively impact both your health and the environment. In 2007, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) introduced regulations aimed at reducing harmful diesel exhaust emissions, and those standards became even stricter in 2010. One of the simplest and most effective ways to comply with these regulations is by regularly replenishing Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), a product available through Energie Fuel.
DEF is a specially formulated liquid used to reduce air pollution created by diesel engines. It is a clear, non-toxic solution made up of 32.5% urea and 67.5% deionized water. When used properly, DEF can reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by up to 90%. In addition to its environmental benefits, DEF also plays an essential role in maintaining the performance and longevity of your fleet’s emissions system.
To simplify the process, when diesel fuel burns inside an engine, it generates the power needed to move the vehicle. However, this combustion process also creates harmful byproducts, including nitrogen oxides that contribute to soot and black smoke emissions. Thanks to advancements in chemical engineering, DEF works alongside modern emissions systems to convert these harmful pollutants into harmless nitrogen and water vapor before they exit the tailpipe. The result is a cleaner, more efficient process that is better for both the environment and your diesel engines.
DEF is commonly sold at auto parts stores, home improvement retailers, and gas stations in small containers such as 1-gallon jugs or 2.5-gallon boxes. However, fleets often require much larger quantities than the common end consumer. That’s where Energie Fuel comes in. We provide DEF in larger volumes, including cases, drums, and totes, at quantities you are unlikely to find at your local gas station.
In addition to being a fleet card provider, Energie Fuel offers a wide range of products and services, including the sale and delivery of DEF, diesel, dyed diesel, oil, cleaners, and other fuel additives. If you operate a fleet, the last thing you want to worry about is scheduling product deliveries or monitoring inventory levels. With Energie Fuel, you never have to. We can create a customized delivery schedule tailored to your fleet’s specific needs. Our system tracks the products you use and ensures they are replenished on time, helping your operations run smoothly and more efficiently.
Managing your fleet doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. Let Energie Fuel handle your DEF deliveries so you can focus on running your business with confidence, knowing your fleet is operating at peak performance.
