Making use of vertical space.
What happens here
Begin by assessing your space and determining the number of DEF barrels you intend to store. The video shows three barrels on a metal shelving unit. Acquire appropriate industrial-grade plastic barrels (typically 55-gallon drums) suitable for chemical storage, a sturdy metal shelving unit or materials to construct one, and the necessary DEF dispensing equipment including a hose, a manual nozzle, and barrel spigots/fittings. Consider the height needed for gravity feed into your vehicle's DEF tank.
Goal: Collect all necessary materials and plan the station layout.
Tools and materials
- Barrel Spigots/Fittings — Connecting the dispensing hose to the barrel
- Dispensing Hose — Transferring DEF from the barrel to the vehicle
- Industrial Plastic Barrels — Storing Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
- Manual Dispensing Nozzle — Controlling the flow of DEF into the vehicle
- Metal Shelving Unit — Supporting the elevated DEF barrels for gravity feeding
