Thread: What happens to DEF injector if truck is not driven for a while?

    What happens to DEF injector if truck is not driven for a while?

    If I don't drive my truck for a few months, does the DEF injector get clogged with dried/hard DEF?

    Do other parts/lines clog up?

    Thanks in advance!

    Good question: I work for CF Industries - a plant in Oklahoma that makes DEF from Natural Gas.

    We load DEF on Rail Cars & in Trucks everyday from 3 different lines.
    I know from personal experience if these heavily insulated lines are not going to be used again for a couple weeks - these lines have to be flushed with demin water to clear the lines of all the excess DEF or the excess has a good chance of crystalizing out & possibly plugging the line.

    My personal advice is drive the Ram as often as you can for a decent amount of time - highway /interstate driving would be best.
