What happens here
The first step is to position the 55-gallon drum, filled with Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), onto a sturdy, elevated storage rack. This elevation is critical to allow gravity to feed the fluid through the dispensing hose. Ensure the rack is rated to handle the significant weight of a full 55-gallon drum (approximately 450-500 lbs, depending on the fluid's density). The video shows the drum already in place on a metal shelf.
Goal: Elevate the 55-gallon drum to enable gravity dispensing.
