Has anyone modified their FUSO to run without DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid)?
Alternatively, have you been able to buy DEF in any of the Central & South American countries?
Thank you very much for your suggestions!
Welcome back!
Looks like you have some new camper build pictures up on your Facebook page. How is the effort coming along?
Regarding removal of the DEF system and/or the DPF, don't waste your time and money thinking about it. The hardware and the firmware that controls and monitors the system is just to intertwined to make it possible.
What's needed is a way to mix UREA, in a granular packet form, with distilled water to make your own DEF solution. You figure that out and you'll win the Nobel Peace Prize and can travel off the patent royalties.
I fired off an email to AdBlue this morning asking about availability of their product in SA, haven't heard back yet.
Have you been keeping track of your DEF consumption?
Has it been about one gallon per 300 miles?
If your going to mix your own, you've got to get it right. There's a DEF quality sensor in the system.
Any recommendations for solar panels & batteries manufacturers?

Not entirely true. I imagine you would have said that about a 2009 BMW X5 35d as well. Yet I have a kit coming with a new downpipe to replace the SCR/DPF; simultaneously pull the ECU for reprogramming with a particular specialist; voila, no fuel consuming/CO2 increasing regenerations with no CE lights. For the Fuso, someone who knows how (understands the ECU) just needs to do it.
Please spare the political diatribes.
