DEF Tank/System

PlatinumScorpion · Jul 24, 2013

Anyone removed the DEF Tank/System?

Any special tools needed? Parts? Etc.?

Anyone take pictures?

I think it is just four or six bolts that hold the tank on, then a few clips to connect the lines to it.

yeah i need to do the same. i still have a full tank ! well , minus what i burned in 200 miles.

Same here, wasn't sure if it was beneficial to just leave it there in case of the odd event i need to put the stock exhaust back on.

dont you have to pull the tune and cycle the key a bunch ? i wish it had a pecock.

I took mine out because the guys at the dealer decided to fill it up when it got an oil change even though the service managers know its deleted. The techs are still dumb. Next time they try it it will wind up on there shoes. Just one less thing cluttering up under there

I'm thinking a petcock would be even better!

I always thought it would be an awesome place to hide a water/method tank!

Some guys use those tanks for water injection, don't they?

Will a earlier model fuel tank fit in these trucks once the def and current fuel tank is removed?

RedRice589 · Jul 27, 2013

You got a nice 36 gallon tank to give me?? I hate this tiny pos...

onebadf150 · Jul 27, 2013

My 2013 regular cab has only got 26 gallons which sucks.

Major pain, I tired the filler neck is small and bends to much to get a hose down.

No it won't. Ford updated the tanks from the 6.4/6.0 trucks and went with a new design. New canister, new filler, new shape. Best bet would be a Titan replacement

The tanks are not hard to get out full. The pain is have the truck high enough to get the cover off I think. I can't remember. I know I had to Jack the truck up way off the floor.

If you could get a hose in to the tank you could use compressed air to pull it out.

I need to snap a shot of what happens to stagnated UREA in a UREA system.

Its not so pretty. Looks like a crystal cavern somewhere in Missouri. I deal with thousands of gallons of that crap every day on our 8200hp engines at a plant. The clogging and coking of the urea gets old. I hate the stuff.

So in other words. Purge the lines as BEST as you can with water then compressed air.
