Have a friend who has been winterizing in Arizona for 5 months and left two days ago to head home to Mississippi. I spoke to him today and he is at Freightliner in El Paso because he got a "low def warning" and a check engine light on day one. Although his DEF tank was full, Freightliner told him the problem was DEF had crystalized in his tank after setting in the AZ heat for 5 months. Freightliner plans to empty his tank, check sensors ect which hopefully will fix the problem. In my friends case his tank was about 2/3 full for the 5 months he was here. Ive never heard of this nor seen any posts regarding a problem of this nature so I'm concerned and curious. In my case I've here in AZ for 3 months (leaving for Ohio in 6 days) and wondering if I need to drain and refill my tank. I will say I topped my tank off the day I arrived in AZ so it's been setting full for 3 months. With this post I'm asking if anyone has experienced this problem and had to drain and refilled their tank after setting for several months in a warm climate. TIA |
