Urea shortage now 2 stroke could be back

[Dave5Cs]

Read an artical about how we rely on China for 85% of our Urea and how they are getting low on it and holding what they have for themselves for food supply trucks there. We only produce 35% of our own. So will the two stroke be coming back, LOL

It's not the DEF itself they're talking about, it's the one of the primary ingredients which the US producers require for making the DEF.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid aka DEF is made several different ways Cummins uses no Urea in theirs none in some other brands either,DEF is mostly water every independent trucker in America knows how to get around it so I wouldn't worry about it,it is fertilizer a pound will make a 100 gals for 10 bucks or you can run one on just water

Read an articul about how we rely on China for 85% of our Urea.

Had nothing to do with Def in this articul  other than it said soon it would be hard for trucking companies to get any.

Here's a quote from the Cummins web site: Diesel Exhaust Fluid is formulated with 32.5 percent urea and 67.5 percent deionized water.

Read the thread before you post?

I'll post when I feel like it you were talking about Urea used in the DEF or did I miss that part

I'd love to see what you're putting in that engine. Everything I'm seeing online about DEF, including the Fleetguard product, is 32.5% urea.

Clifford wasn't directed at you I was saying to all that all of a sudden it was changed to a thing on DEF. The article was about Urea a product of def and how the supply was getting low.
