If your business handles Diesel Exhaust Fluid, it’s important to regularly monitor DEF tank levels for ongoing maintenance and to avoid running out. You need to know that your inventory is being used in the most efficient way possible.
Similar to fuel tank monitoring we also the capability to monitor DEF tanks as well. At Hart, we use a tank monitoring system that measures liquid levels in storage tanks through a sensor anywhere with an internet connection. This non-contact sensor is integrated into a battery powered device that uses 4G LTE remote fuel tank monitoring. The device has a long battery life and is built with weather-proof materials, making it ideal for a wide variety of tank monitoring systems.
From this sensor, we have access to a web-based software that accurately analyzes fluid levels in each tank. Data transmits to a host database which allows remote viewing and fuel management in real time. These solutions help save time and money for us and our customers. They also minimize errors when managing fuel supplies so your business can stay efficient. Plus, we’ll get a notification if fluid levels go below set standards. That means we’re always on top of your DEF delivery needs.

How long does diesel exhaust fluid last?
DEF should be replaced regularly and has a shelf-life of about two years. Depending on the efficiency of the engine, DEF will need to be replaced accordingly. Exposure to sunlight and high temperatures also factor in how long DEF lasts. Luckily, when you buy DEF, it’ll have an expiration date labeled. If you go past this date, you’ll have performance issues and maintenance problems like:
- Increased DEF usage in equipment
- Engines shutting down
- Damaged equipment
- Lowered effectiveness of reducing emissions
