Our approach here at Transliquid is and will continue to be "service" to you, our customer. On that note, the purpose of this blog is to provide as much information as possible to you, the customer so that we can empower you to make the best decision for your business, your customers, your fleets.
When you go look for Diesel Exhaust Fluid here in Houston Texas and its dispensing pump systems; light duty, medium or heavy duty applications; the questions follow: What do I choose? Who do I buy from? and most importantly in our opinion is, what do I need for my own fleet now?
We know you have a lot of questions, we hear them. We understand this is new to your business, and new to your fleet. So, we are gong to begin a series of online clinics (blog entries) to discuss Diesel Exhaust Fluid, its dispensers for IBC totes, or dispensers for drums, handling, problems to avoid, and much more.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), also known as AUS 32, is a high purity solution of 32.5% urea in deionized water. Diesel Exhaust Fluid is a colorless, odorless, non-hazardous, non flammable, and non-combustible liquid product. This was developed to meet Tier 2 emission standards.
On our next blog entry, we want to discuss distribution options, container size options, and open and closed dispensing systems.
So, subscribe by email to this blog or through or RSS reader located at the top right of our main blog page. We want to "service" you by providing you the right tools for your business and your fleet; requiring Diesel Exhaust Exhaust (DEF). Remember, you have a very advanced system in your truck; keeping it clean and free of impurities is essential. Know your warranty, know your supplier, and know your options.
Stay tuned as we begin this series; sign up now.

As we gear up for the fourth quarter of this year, all eyes are on DEF and people are beginning to take notice. Our terminal is right on schedule and we are about to release into fabrication our first bulk Diesel Exhaust Fluid storage tank to support our distributors here in Houston. Stainless Steel construction, coupled with heavy duty industrial insulation, heating and cooling systems. The first 25,000 gallon tank will be ready to receive the first of many railcars in the very near future.

I have been getting lots of questions from Twitter and Facebook regarding the shipping of Diesel Exhaust Fluid. So, let's talk about this one for a quick minute; this post will be very short and to the point.
If we were to look at the Material Safety Data Sheet, MSDS, for Diesel Exhaust Fluid; we read the following under the Transportation Section for this product.
"DOT Classification" --->Not regulated.
"TDG Classification" --->Not regulated
"Mexico Classification" --->Not regulated.
"HCS Classification" --->Not regulated
So, what does this mean with regards to its Diesel Exhaust Fluid Placard? Simply, that the placard itself will show zeros because the product is classified as non-hazardous and it is not regulated by the Department of Transportation (DOT).
So, those of you wanting to set up a distributorship or delivery business; you are good to go.
Now, keep in mind that this is regarding the placard of DEF, there are still procedures as to how to handle and store Diesel Exhaust Fluid. Hope that helps.
Thanks for the questions everyone.

Our good friends at SunCoast Resources posted a great video on how this awesome technology truly works. Diesel Exhaust Fluid here in Houston and abroad is picking up speed and Transliquid Technologies is excited to be involved with this changing technology.
Being able to reduce emissions to nearly zero is extreme, who would have imagined. If you are driving a new truck with this new SCR technology, sound off here and let us know how you are liking your new engine.
P.S. Send us an email and ask us how you can get DEF delivered to you.

For now, all we know is that only EPA 2010 commercial and consumer vehicles equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology will use Diesel Exhaust Fluid. Diesel Exhaust Fluid, also called DEF, is a solution made up of purified water and 32.5 percent automotive-grade urea that is used as a carrying agent for the ammonia needed to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from vehicles into nitrogen, water and carbon dioxide (CO2).
Diesel Exhaust Fluid is monitored for quality and certified by the American Petroleum Institute, ensuring that Diesel Exhaust Fluid is a stable, non-toxic, odorless and completely safe solution. The urea used for Diesel Exhaust Fluid is automotive-grade. Urea in additional forms is widely distributed for many other industrial and agricultural needs, including emissions control at public utilities and power plants.

As Diesel Exhaust Fluid finds itself more into every corner of the United States; we are getting more and more questions. As consumers; great questions should always be ask. So, if I was buying Diesel Exhaust Fluid for my own fleet, how do I bring it in? On the other hand, if you are a new distributor, how do you ship it to your customers?
Back to topic, I was with a customer last week where a conversation got started about wanting to distribute Diesel Exhaust Fluid. We all know you can stop by your local truck stop and pay full retail for a new 2.5 jug of DEF but as a distributor buying in bulk; you are saving yourself some $$$$. How do you ship Diesel Exhaust Fluid to one of your own customers? Do you have to pull special permits or place one these placars on the shipments?
The answer is simply no. The product itself is non-hazardous, DOT does not regulate it over the road. So, use your regular couriers to ship bulk shipments of Diesel Exhaust Fluid to your customer. This applies to either drums, IBC Totes, 2.5 gallon cases, or larger bulk shipments.
Of course, if you have any questions; drop us a line here or our Diesel Exhaust Blog at www.dieselexhaustblog.com
