| - | ====Diesel Emission Control==== | + | ===Diesel Emission Control=== |
| - | All diesel engine powered vehicles in the TFRD fleet with a manufacture date of 2008 or later are equipped with Diesel Emission Control systems that include Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF). Vehicles manufactured in 2013 or later also utilize Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) in combination with DPF. Both DPF and DEF are part of the diesel emission control systems, and require system monitoring of the DPF, and a daily level check of the DEF. All diesel vehicles added to the TFRD fleet will be equipped with both DPF and DEF systems. | + | All diesel engine powered vehicles in the TFRD fleet with a manufacture date of 2008 or later are equipped with Diesel Emission Control systems that include Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF).

These filters periodically require a self-cleaning regeneration process, (Re-Gen). This is accomplished by activating the Re-Gen system switch, and allowing the vehicle to automatically go through cycles of high idle. Over a 15-30-minute period, sufficient heat will be developed for the system to clean the filter. |
| When the dashboard indicator alerts that a Re-Gen is needed, initiate a Re-Gen as soon as possible. The indicator will change from constant to flashing as the urgency increases. | When the dashboard indicator alerts that a Re-Gen is needed, initiate a Re-Gen as soon as possible.

DEF is supplied to stations in 55-gallon drums. | ||
