Disposing of DEF

[Ron60w]

So, if someone were to delete the DEF DPF SCR and all that underneath the truck, what would said person do with the DEF fluid that was drained?

The proper way is to drain it into a sealable container and drop it off at your county's household hazardous waste drop off site. That being said the toilet method might also work, considering it's synthetic piss after all.

It's pure urea (nitrogen) and deionized water. Spray it on your lawn and watch the grass grow.

I wouldn't recommend this, synthetic urea is different than organic urea, there is an extra chemical attached to the organic version that makes it good for plants.

The def urea will kill any plant you put it on.

Good to know. I posted that kinda jokingly, but thanks for straightening me out.

I've been deleted for almost a year and never drained the tank...wonder if it's still drainable or just a congealed mess now...

36 years experience producing and distributing Urea products and many other nitrogen products.
So I want to clarify the differences between DEF (Synthetic Urea) and Organic Urea.
To answer the question requires context for the terms “Urea” and “organic” to avoid equivocation (Using an ambiguous term in more than one sense, thus making a statement misleading).

Starting with Urea:

u·re·a

yo?o?r??/

noun

BIOCHEMISTRY

1. A compound, CO(NH 2) 2, occurring in urine and other body fluids as a product of protein metabolism.

CHEMISTRY

1. A water-soluble powder form of this compound, obtained by the reaction of liquid ammonia and liquid carbon dioxide: used as a fertilizer and in animal feed.

Next Organic:

or·gan·ic

ôr??anik/

adjective

BIOCHEMISTRY

1. Relating to or derived from living matter; especially when of food or farming methods, produced or involving production without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or other artificial agents.

CHEMISTRY

1. Relating to or denoting compounds containing carbon.

BIOLOGY

1. Denoting a relation between elements of an ecosystem such that they fit together harmoniously as necessary parts of a whole.

So now that we defined the terms, the answer is:

Yes. Urea is organic.

However to avoid the equivocation logic fallacy, whenever we use the chemistry definition of either term, it must be paired with the chemistry definition of the other term.

If we use the biological or biochemistry meaning of organic, we must stick with the biochemistry meaning for Urea.

As long as you don’t mix and match context, the answer is always yes. But if you lose the context you risk being wrong.


So the DEF drained from your tank or 32.5% Urea fertilizer are the same. Urea is a great fertilizer with a nitrogen content of 46%. It will not kill plants when properly applied, applied to heavily it will burn the foliage of plants and grass.
