MACKS Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Can you run the truck without it or will it shut itself down or worse? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68913-drama/#findComment-484795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 once the smurf pee reaches a certain level, a sensor in the tank will shut the truck down (so i am told). we have not had any supply issues yet, and i currently have 245 gallons in the shop. that should last around 6-7 months .

Nope, will derate then shut down, then it's a trip to the dealer. Unless you are deleted, LOL And you don't even have to run out.....they will do the same it the sensors think it is bad quality DEF. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68913-drama/#findComment-484803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 we have a 2011 F550 with 6.7 engine. the DEF injector has been changed 4 times already due to crystallization on the tip. when it does not inject DEF, it goes into de-rate and cuts engine power to 25%. and it just barely moves. we have been waiting for the new truck for 9 months now. 1 of the two was just delivered friday, but it is getting the service body instead of the dump body because the service truck just ate an injector thursday afternoon on the way home. .

tjc transport Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 ya never know. cali needs under 10 year old trucks running smurf pee. nu yawk will be there next year. joisey will soon follow. my bet is this is the "push" to electric trucks. demand all diesels HAVE TO RUN SMURF PEE , than make it impossible to buy. 1 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Steve L Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I heard you can add water, how much I don’t know. I have been around discussions where drivers spoke about adding a little water when smurf pee cannot be found, remember we don’t have fuel depots on every street corner. The water prevents the truck derating Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68913-drama/#findComment-484894 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t have any at all don’t add anything at all. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68913-drama/#findComment-484902 Share on other sites More sharing options...

67RModel Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Urea is a commodity created via coal and natural gas as a byproduct of industrial ammonia production, and like most commodities it is traded on the world market. That is to say one country's supply is heavily dependent on various geopolitical events / decisions from other areas of the globe. The largest producer of Urea is good old China. High natural gas prices have slowed the production overall. Additionally, electricity rationing in China have forced the Chinese urea factories to cut output further lowering supply. The largest use of urea is agricultural fertilizer. The Chinese government has banned the export of urea to sure up its agricultural industry and food supply. 80% of Australia's urea comes from factories in China so you can see where this is going. Also, South Korea gets most of its urea from China. I saw where they have resorted to airlifting loads from Australia further squeezing Aussie's supply. I have seen nothing here yet as to a supply disruption but who knows. As interconnected as every economy is I'm sure its only a matter of time. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68913-drama/#findComment-484914 Share on other sites More sharing options...
