DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID ( DEF ) FILL CAP VENTING
CONDITIONS
Service Information Only
Description:
MCI is notifying our customers at the request of Shaw Development that the diesel exhaust fluid ( DEF ) tank cap requires
routine cleaning to prevent the potential for crystallization build up at the vent.
The presence of crystallization build up at the vent may result in potential vacuum issues which could result in collapsing
of the tank walls.
MCI customers are instructed to follow the steps and instructions in the attached Shaw Development Technical Bulletin
TB 2472, including observing all warnings and cautions therein every month. In addition, steps should be taken to
ensure that the tank is not over---filled as this may accelerate the potential for crystallization build up in the cap vent.
In the event that the operator notices a vacuum in the DEF tank when removing the cap to fill the tank, the cap should be
cleaned per the steps and instructions in the attached Shaw Development Technical Bulletin TB 2472 as soon as
possible regardless of the one ( 1 ) month preventative maintenance schedule interval.

INTRODUCTION:
1.1
PURPOSE:
The purpose of the document is to describe the process involved in cleaning the
DEF Fill Cap assemblies. Cleaning the cap will prevent crystallization build-up
and minimize venting related issues. This procedure should be performed
monthly for vehicles operating under “standard” conditions. If there are signs of
venting issues (ex. vacuum release when cap is removed) the cap should be
cleaned as quickly as possible.
