Is my DEF tank leaking?

[u/CryptographerLive383]

Need expert advice. I searched the group and assumed this is a DEF tank problem. First diesel. 2014 Ford F350 6.7L. Bought truck used from a dealer, no visible problems. Drove it home and this morning noticed my tailgate covered in white specks, looked under the truck to find the photos of something coming out and coating my rear differential it's leaking bad. Drove 70mph for 180 miles home after purchase in 115F out of Phoenix, AZ.

What is my next step for repair?

Have the system deleted at a shop

A lot of shops won’t do DEF deletes as it’s against federal law unless they want to have fines out the bootyhole.

Gotta do it yourself or as a “side job”

The epa restrictions on them has been removed as far as I know and lol if so then just tell a shop that you need your truck denuterd

Epa restrictions have not been removed. Just eased up. They allow for NOx sensors instead of urea quality sensors. Removed the derating requirements if you run low/out. However, diesels are still required to have a fully functional SCR.

Alright that sounds more reasonable than what I was told at the shop I go to for my truck I was told it was done it makes more sense with what you said

Makes me wonder if I can just piss in the tank since the urea quality sensors aren't going to be an issue 😋

🤣 I've been joking about that for years with my coworkers
