1.2.1.3 DEF SUCTION FILTER

The DEF Suction Filter is responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of
the DEF circulating in the SCR system. Utilizing proper refilling practices is the
best method for preventing clogging issues and extending the life of the filter. In
the event the tank interior has become contaminated, Shaw Development has
designed the filter to be replaceable. For instructions on replacing the filter, refer
to Section 3.6. For instructions on cleaning the DEF tank refer to Section 2.1.1.
Image of DEF Suction Filter

1.2.2 DEF CAP
Shaw Development provides 2 standard DEF caps, Locking and Nonlocking. The caps are incorporated with a hydrophobic membrane to allow the
tank to vent freely. The membrane also prevents DEF fluid from escaping the
tank and ingestion of other contaminating fluids from the external environment.
The DEF caps are also designed to create a sealing surface interface with
the inlet adapter. The seal also prevents DEF leakage and contamination.
Cleanliness of the DEF cap is crucial to maintaining the cleanliness of the DEF
and protecting the DEF/SCR system. Proper refilling practices and regular
scheduled cleanings can greatly reduce the potential for tank contamination. If
the DEF cap appears dirty, refer to Section 2.1.3 for directions on cleaning the
DEF cap. The DEF cap is a replaceable item in the event the cap becomes
damaged.

1.2.3 TANK AND ADAPTER ASSEMBLY
Shaw Development offers three tank inlet adapter configurations: Buttress
Threaded, Bolt-on, and Remote Fill. All three styles are designed in accordance
with ISO-22241. Additionally, each adapter is designed with a magnetic
interface; enabling refilling at all ISO-22241 approved fill stations. The following
sections provide important information regarding the different fill adapters and
their performance.
Buttress Thread / Bolt-on Adapters
The Buttress Threaded adapter and Bolt-on adapter differ in how they are
fastened to the tank. The Buttress Threaded adapter is threaded onto the tank fill
inlet and fixed by 2 screws. The buttress threaded adapter seals the
tank/adapter interface with an O-ring located in the upper interior portion of the
adapter. The O-ring prevents DEF from seeping out in the event of sloshing. The
Bolt-on adapter is fastened to the tank with 6 bolts and sealed with a gasket.
Refer to the images below for visual aid. Please note that the adapter
assemblies on the DEF tank assembly are not replaceable items.

Buttress Threaded Adapter

Bolt-On Adapter

The Buttress Threaded and Bolt-on Adapters perform identically in
regards to venting and enabling magnetic actuation of the DEF magnetic fill
nozzle. Both adapters are equipped with fill restrictors as indicated in the picture
below. The purpose of the fill restrictor is to decrease the potential of overfilling
the DEF reservoir. Overfilling the DEF tank could adversely affect the tank’s
performance and potentially damage to tank assembly in cold environments
[ambient temperature ≤ 12°F (-11°C)]. In cold environments, DEF can
experience an expansion of up to 15-20%. This expansion will deform and
potentially damage to the internal components of the assembly. For information
on proper refilling techniques, please refer to Section 3.1.

The 1” (2.54 cm) inner hose is installed inside the 2” (5.08 cm) outer hose
and directs the flow of DEF during refilling. As shown in the image above, the
inner hose extends into the tank interior. This extension is critical in preventing
the fluid from overfilling the tank during refilling. Any alterations to this extension
are prohibited. The 2” outer hose provides a vent path for the tank assembly
during refilling and normal vehicle operation. The spill pan assembly is the refill
inlet of the remote fill assembly. The outlet of the spill pan adapter is designed
with surfaces for the inner and outer hoses to clamp on to.
Tank Designs
The standard DEF reservoirs are available in Small, Medium, and Large
sizes. Each tank size comes in Landscape (LS) and Portrait (PT) orientations.
Small, Medium, and Large reservoirs roughly hold 5 gallons (18.9 L), 10 gallons
(37.9 L), and 15 gallons (56.8 L) of DEF respectively. There is also a 10 gallon
(37.9 L) Cube design and for large vehicle applications Shaw is introducing a 25
gallon tank assembly. Refer to the chart below for referencing.

2) Verify the DEF cap is securely fastened to the adapter. Inspect the rest of the
tank assembly for any noticeable leak paths where water can penetrate.
a. If leak paths are found, contact your Shaw DEF tank provider and
inform them of the defect.
b. If no defects are found continue to step #3.
3) Begin rinsing the tank assembly using water (and soap if needed). With the
exception of the cap/adapter interface, the tank assembly can withstand
pressures up to 2000 psi for pressure washing. Do Not apply direct pressure
to the Cap/Adapter interface. Ensure all debris (i.e. dirt, fuel, oil, hydraulic
fluid, etc.) is completely rinsed off and pay close attention to areas near the
MFHU and the top side of the cap adapter assembly.

2.1.2 CLEANING THE INTERIOR OF THE TANK ASSEMBLY
The interior of the tank assembly may need to be cleaned in the instance of
tank contamination. Tank contamination is the intrusion of liquid and particles
that do not make up 32.5% concentrated DEF. If left untreated, contamination
can cause clogs along the DEF hose lines and/or damage components of the
SCR system. The following instructions describe the proper steps for cleaning
the interior of the Shaw DEF tank assembly.
1) Drain the tank. For instruction on removing and installing the DEF drain plug
refer to Section 2.3. Properly discard the contaminated DEF.
Do not attempt to filter or otherwise reuse the contaminated DEF.
2) Once the tank has been completely drained, remove the Multifunction Head
Unit from the tank. Refer to Section 3.4A for instructions on removing the
MFHU.
3) Once the MFHU is removed, inspect the debris saturation of the filter element
to determine if the filter needs to be replaced.
a. If the filter is damaged or dirty, replace the filter. Refer to Section 3.5
for instructions for replacing the DEF filter element.
b. If the filter is not damaged or dirty, continue to step 4.
4) Begin to rinse out the interior of the DEF tank using an ordinary hose or
pressure washer. Attempt to rinse all the debris out through the drain port of
the tank. Detergent may be used to clean off the tank. Ensure that all the

areas where debris can potentially enter the tank is cleaned off, to include:
bore seal, DEF cap, interior and exterior of the adapter assembly, and the
drain port.
a. If the DEF cap needs to be cleaned, refer to Section 2.1.3 for
instruction on cleaning the DEF cap.
5) Rinse off the MFHU from top to bottom with low pressure, ensuring that all
the debris has been removed.
6) Reinstall the MFHU per Section 3.4b.
7) Reinstall the drain plug per Section 2.3 to fill the tank and verify no leakage
occurs.

2.1.3 CLEANING THE DEF CAP
Poor maintenance practices may incur buildup of DEF crystals and debris on
the outer surface and under side of the DEF cap. If left untreated, contaminants
may accumulate. This accumulation may compromise the main seal of the cap
and eventually infiltrate the tank interior. As mentioned in Section 2.1, tank
contamination can impact the overall performance of the entire vehicle SCR
system. Cleaning the cap will help in preventing DEF contamination. The
following procedure provides instructions for cleaning the DEF cap.
1) Wipe off the cap and adapter to prevent any debris from entering through the
inlet.
