What are y'all doing with the DEF tank?

UNBROKEN · Jan 9, 2015

Is there any way to wash it out or something to keep that crap from drying out and crystalizing when you delete everything?

Codydiesel · Jan 9, 2015

You can pull the pick up and clean the tank, mine is converted to a spare fuel tank

WHY NOT · Jan 9, 2015

I have mine in the shed. I drained it as best I could but it probably didn't get it as clean as it needs to be. I have heard of some guys using them for a water/meth tank.

I yanked mine off the truck, cleaned it out, then put it in storage.

I've been deleted for 10k miles, is it too late to do anything with my tank?

Mine had been deleted a year before I ever pulled it and converted it

Nothing crystalized or anything in the tank?

Pulled mine and used bracket to hold deep cycle battery for air compressor in the bed.

No it was still liquid and had no build up, it only started crystallizing when I opened it up and the little splatter was exposed to air all I did was take a water hose and flushed it out

its like 75% water anyway, i would think that as long as the lid is on you should be ok, the nozzle in the dpf however might not be so good. or the hoses.

You have any pictures of this? Sounds like an awesome idea!

Could you use a 12v power source to pump itself dry and fill and empty again with distilled water to clear the tank, pump, lines?

No there isn't a simple 12v power to turn on the pump and even if you could find a way to make it come on it's a low volume pump

I pulled mine off the truck, flushed the lines with water. Left the fluid in the tank

I would also like to see your pictures and details on how you converted it. I have been tossing that idea. I wasn't sure how well it would work but it is an idea I can't get out of my head.

Codydiesel · Jan 13, 2015

Ok I'll pull the tank back out this week and do a quick little write up. I didn't have time before cause it was a quick project since I kept running out of fuel while towing due to my truck being a short bed
