DEF and extended sub-zero weather
I've owned and worked on a number of diesels over the years, but the truck I have on order is my first ever diesel that requires DEF.
Since the length of this truck almost spans two zip-codes, it will be spending most of it's life outside.
Last winter was one of the record breakers here in MN. Sub-zero weather for weeks on end.
For those of you not familiar with out lovely state, -30f is not all that uncommon. I have seen as cold as -52f.
My question is - what happens to the DEF and its pump/feed system if it freezes?
