2.2

FILLING THE DEF TANK
When filling the DEF tank assembly, ensure the filling process or
procedure is in compliance with following cautionary notes provided below. If
further clarification for handling, storing, and transporting DEF is required, please
refer to ISO-22241. It is critical that vehicle operators safely and properly execute
refilling practice while adhering to these notes to avoid potential performance
related issues of the Shaw DEF system and SCR system.
Do not put DEF in the fuel tank, or any fluid other than DEF in the DEF reservoir.
This will cause engine damage and/or damage to the SCR unit.
Use only API (American Petroleum Institute) or DIN certified Diesel Exhaust Fluid
(per ISO-22241). Improper fluids or contaminated DEF may lead to high Nitrogen
Oxide emissions and damage the SCR system including the DEF assembly. If
the DEF tank is considered contaminated refer to Section 2.1.2. Contaminated
SCR systems should be serviced at an authorized dealer.
Do NOT use DEF beyond its expiration date or if it has been stored in conditions
over 86°F (30°C) for extended periods of time. This temperature exposure will
cause degradation to the DEF.
Do NOT attempt to top off the tank. Overfilling the tank can inhibit the tank’s
overall performance and potentially damage the assembly due to expansion of
the fluid.
Ensure the cap and adapter are clean prior to cap removal and filling; this helps
prevent tank contamination. Clean off any DEF that may have spilled onto the
tank to maintain cleanliness of the tank assembly.

2.2.1 STATION OR BULK FILLING VIA PUMP AND NOZZLE
Nozzle filling is the preferred method of refilling the DEF tank assembly.
All approved DEF fill stations should utilize magnetic actuating DEF nozzles
designed per ISO-22241. Shaw Development has designed the Shaw DEF
adapters in accordance with ISO-22241 to compliment the functionality of DEF
nozzles. Furthermore, Shaw DEF adapters are designed to prevent overfilling
when using the magnetic actuating DEF nozzle. The procedure below describes
how to fill the DEF tank with an ISO-22241 approved magnetic actuating DEF
nozzle.

Nozzle filling the DEF tank Assembly

1) Prior to removing the DEF cap, inspect the outside surface of the cap and
surrounding areas for any signs of debris that may fall into the tank when the
cap is removed.
a. If debris has accumulated on the DEF tank assembly, clean it off before
removing the cap. Refer to section 2.1.1 for instructions on cleaning the
DEF tank assembly.
b. If no debris is found, continue to step 2.
2) Inspect the cleanliness of the underside of the DEF cap.
a. If the cap appears dirty, try to clean it off. Refer to Section 2.1.3 for
instruction on cleaning the DEF cap. Once cleaned, replace the cap firmly
on the DEF adapter.
b. If the cap does not appear dirty, refer to step 3
3) Set the cap aside unless the cap is attached to a lanyard. If the cap is not
attached to a lanyard, ensure that it is placed in a location where it is not
vulnerable to debris exposure.
4) Insert the nozzle securely into the inlet adapter.
5) Depress the nozzle handle, enabling DEF flow into the tank assembly.
6) Continue DEF flow until the nozzle automatically shuts off.
Do NOT repeatedly depress the nozzle handle after the nozzle’s initial automatic
shut-off as this might cause the DEF tank to overfill.
7) Remove the nozzle and replace the cap onto the adapter.

2.2.2 BOTTLE FILLING
Bottle filling is the least preferred method for refilling the DEF tank. Bottle
filling is considered a high risk refilling method for a variety of reason. Some of
these reasons include:
 Increased potential for overfilling the tank assembly.
 Increased potential for physical contact with the fluid.

 Increased potential for spillage.

It is highly recommended to fill the DEF tank assembly using an authorized
ISO-22241 approved DEF nozzle. The following procedure will provide
instructions for bottle filling the DEF tank assembly.
NOTE: Bottle filling should only be conducted with DEF containers that have been
approved by and have been stored in accordance with ISO-22241-3.
Additionally, ensure the container(s) are not contaminated with insoluble
particles in the fluid (i.e. insects or dirt), or bottles that have been knowingly
stored continuously at temperatures greater than 86°F (30°C) for more than 18
months.
Bottle filling the DEF tank assembly requires the use of Personal Protective
Equipment to include but not limited to goggles and gloves.
Bottle Filling the DEF tank assembly
1) Take the cap off of the Diesel Exhaust Fluid bottle. Twist the spout onto the
opening until it becomes locked into place (if applicable).
2) Prior to removing the DEF cap, inspect the outside surface of the cap and
adapter for any signs of debris that may fall into the tank when the cap is
removed.
a. If debris has accumulated on the DEF tank assembly, clean it off before
removing the cap. Refer to section 2.1.1 for instructions on cleaning the
DEF tank assembly.
b. If no debris is found, continue to step 3.
3) Insert the outlet end of the spout into the inlet of the adapter until the end of
the spout is seated completely in the fill port.
4) If attempting to top off the tank, fill the tank slowly while frequently checking
for the DEF fluid line to rise to the bottom of the adapter inlet. When checking
the fluid line in the tank, bring the DEF bottle to level and lower the bottle to
where the remaining DEF in the spout returns to the container. Then remove
the spout from the adapter inlet by hand and look for the fluid line inside the
tank adapter inlet. If the fluid line is not at the desired level, replace the spout
and continue refilling.
NOTE: DEF will not completely fill the spout of the bottle while flowing; air will also be
trapped inside.
5) When the reservoir has been filled, place the DEF cap back onto the tank.

6) Uninstall the spout from the container and place the cap back on the bottle.
7) If the container still has DEF inside, store it for later use, otherwise, dispose
of the container and nozzle in the correct manner.
8) Clean any spilled DEF immediately with fresh water to prevent corrosion to
the system or vehicle components.
2.3

DRAINING THE DEF TANK ASSEMBLY
The DEF tank assembly is capable of quick draining via the removal of the
DEF drain plug. The following procedure describes how to safely remove the
DEF drain plug from a filled DEF tank assembly.
Refer to vehicles service manual for safety regulations and recommendations
when servicing the vehicle.
Draining of the DEF tank needs to be conducted in a well-ventilated area, as the
ammonia vapors may cause irritation.

NOTE: It is highly recommended that the volume of DEF drained from the DEF
reservoir be properly discarded to avoid potential contamination of the DEF
tank assembly. If the DEF is expected to be reused or stored for later use, the
fluid should be contained and stored in compliance with ISO-22241. Failure to
comply may result in degradation of the DEF.
DEF drain procedure via removal of the DEF drain plug
1) Turn vehicle off.
2) Position an auxiliary reservoir directly beneath the drain plug outlet. Ensure
that the opening of the auxiliary reservoir is wide enough for the DEF to flow
into with spillage, and the reservoir is large enough to carry the volume of
DEF in the DEF reservoir without spillage.
3) Remove the DEF cap and set aside on a clean surface.
4) Using the ¼” Allen Wrench, unscrew the drain plug from the reservoir by
turning in the counterclockwise direction. Place drain plug in a location that is
free from debris.

Ensure the tank assembly is protected from projectile debris during vehicle
operation. The degree of protection will vary with vehicle applications.
Ensure any hoses being routed in close proximity to the mounting brackets are
protected against any sharp edges, movement, and friction against the brackets,
as this could cause a leak and/or damage to the SCR System.
Ensure the tank assembly is not a step point.
Ensure the nozzle clearance meets ISO-22241 allowing for easy access for
filling and avoid areas where the reservoir could be exposed to service fluids.
The DEF tank assembly should be mounted with easy access to the drain port
on the bottom corner of the tank in the instance the tank may need to be drained.
Additionally, the drain port should be away from critical components on the
vehicle.
The tank should never be mounted in such a way that the tank becomes
deformed (i.e. concave/convex sidings, indentation, etc.)
If the DEF Tank Assembly is
mounted against a wall or on
multiple sides, a minimum of 9
mm standoff should be available
between the reservoir’s strap
grooves with the mounting
bracket wall or sides, and strap
bolts with mounting bracket wall
and sides, to allow room for
expansion.
