Diesel engines larger than three liters made after January 1, 2010 are required by the EPA to be equipped with pure urea or DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) systems. In addition to helping clean up the exhaust fumes of these diesel engines, manufacturers are also able to improve fuel efficiency by reducing fuel consumption. 

Portland Plastics serves the northwest region of the U.S., and focuses on serving the heavy truck and construction equipment industries by producing rotomolded plastic fuel tanks, DEF tanks and a variety of other custom applications.
