Store DEF properly to increase shelf life and prevent impurities

Storage life varies for DEF, but in proper conditions it can maintain quality up to 12 months. DEF should be:

Stored in stainless steel, coated carbon steel or specific high-density plastic containers, as DEF can corrode other materials and introduce contaminants
Kept in a temperature-controlled location and out of direct sunlight DEF is best stored between 12- and 86-degrees F (-11 and 30- degrees C). Since it is water based, DEF can freeze into a solid state. Freezing DEF has no effect on its quality or performance, but it can expand up to 7 percent when frozen

What are the benefits of using DEF?

It lowers NOx emissions

This is important because:

NOx is harmful to the environment: as an air pollutant, it contributes to smog, acid rain, etc.
NOx is harmful to people: its exposure can lead to heart and respiratory disease

It helps diesel engines run more efficiently

The effects of this include:

Improved horsepower (which results in fuel savings!)
Increasingly optimized combustion

It takes better care of your vehicle

PickupTrucks.com states that some of the benefits of DEF-equipped trucks include:
