DEF Quality Sensor

Does anyone know if there is a DEF quality sensor in the DEF tank to ensure that you don't put in the wrong fluid?

I am actually looking to use this sensor in a system for large stationary diesel generator aftertreatment systems (see our website: genaccproducts.com).

The EPA is pushing us to include one of these in our system, and I figure if it's good enough for the Ford truck, it should be good for us.

Any help/input would be appreciated.

Thanks!

OK - cool. Do you know where it is located and perhaps a part number or where I can find that?

I called the dealer and they had no idea - go figure.

Actually there is no sensor that monitors the quality of the fluid its self. Instead they monitor NOx levels pre and post injection for a expected reduction in NOx.

Perfect spot-on answer.
