For more information, refer to Special Publication, SEBU6251, "Cat Commercial Diesel Engine system Fluids Recommendations".
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Recommendations
For use in Cat engine systems, DEF concentration must be 32.5 percent or 40 percent, meeting all requirements defined by "ISO 22241-1" or "ISO 18611".
Caterpillar recommends the use of DEF available through the Cat parts ordering system for use in Cat engine systems equipped with a Select Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system. Refer to Table 1 for part number information:
Cat Part Number | Container Size |
350-8733 | 2.5 gal bottle |
350-8734 | 1000-L totes |
In North America, commercial DEF that is API approved and meets all the requirements defined in "ISO 22241-1" or "ISO 18611" may be used in Cat engine systems that are equipped with SCR systems. Be sure to read the Owners manual for your specific equipment, not all Caterpillar SCR systems are compatible with 40% DEF.
Outside of North America, commercial DEF that meets all requirements defined in "ISO 22241-1" or "ISO 18611" may be used in Cat engine systems that are equipped with SCR systems. Be sure to read the Owners manual for your specific equipment, not all Caterpillar SCR systems are compatible with 40% DEF.
The supplier should provide documentation to prove that the DEF is compliant with the requirements of "ISO 22241-1" or "ISO 18611".

DEF Guidelines
Quality of DEF can degrade when stored and handled inappropriately or if DEF is not protected from contamination. Details are provided below.
If quality issues are suspected or a DEF quality fault is active, testing of DEF should focus on urea concentration, alkalinity as NH3 and biuret content. Do not use DEF that does not pass all these tests.
Note: Caterpillar recommends that customers purchase the pre-mixed DEF urea solution from a reputable supplier. The DEF must satisfy all the specifications of quality. Refer to Special Publication, SEBU6251, "Exhaust Aftertreatment Fluids Specifications". Urea solutions that are not made of urea and water of the appropriate quality and cleanliness may damage the SCR system. Poor or questionable quality DEF can lead to more repair and maintenance costs to the customer. Cat warranties do not cover failures caused by or related to use of out of specification urea solutions in products equipped with SCR systems.
Materials Compatibility
DEF is corrosive. Due to its corrosive nature, DEF must be stored in tanks constructed of approved materials. Recommended storage materials:
Stainless Steels:
- 304 (S30400)
- 304L (S30403)
- 316 (S31600)
- 316L (S31603)
- 409 (S40900)
- 439 (S43035)
Alloys and metals:
- Chromium Nickel (CrNi)
- Chromium Nickel Molybdenum (CrNiMo)
- Titanium
Non-metallic materials:
- Polyethylene
- Polypropylene
- Polyisobutylene
- Teflon (PFA)
- Polyfluoroethylene (PFE)
- Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)
- Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
Materials NOT compatible with DEF solutions include Aluminum, Magnesium, Zinc, Nickel coatings, Silver, and Carbon steel and Solder containing any of the above. Unexpected reactions may occur if DEF solutions come in contact with any non-compatible material or unknown materials.
Bulk Storage
Follow all local regulations covering bulk storage tanks. Follow proper tank construction guidelines. Tank volume typically should be 110% of planned capacity. Appropriately vent indoor tanks. Plan for control of overflow of the tank. Heat tanks that dispense DEF in cold climates.
Bulk tank breathers should be fitted with filtration to keep airborne debris from entering the tank. Do not use desiccant breathers because water will be absorbed, which potentially can alter DEF concentration.
Handling
Follow all local regulations covering transport and handling. DEF transport temperature is recommended to be
- Nitrile Rubber (NBR)
- Fluoroelastomer (FKM)
- Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM)
The condition of hoses and other non-metallics that are used with DEF should be monitored for signs of degradation. DEF leaks are easily recognizable by white crystals that accumulate at the site of the leak. Solid urea can be corrosive to galvanized or unalloyed steel, aluminum, copper, and brass. Leaks should be repaired immediately to avoid damage to surrounding hardware.
Cleanliness
Note: Refer to SEBU6251 Cat Commercial Diesel Engine Fluids Recommendations "Contamination Control" Section for detailed DEF cleanliness recommendations.
Contaminants can degrade the life of DEF related components. Care must be taken when refilling or performing service on the DEF system to minimize the introduction of contaminants. Initial operation should include a thorough system flushing with clean distilled water.
Primary DEF filtration is required. Filters must be compatible with DEF and should be used exclusively with DEF. Check with the filter supplier to confirm compatibility with DEF before using any filter.
Care should be taken when dispensing DEF. Spills should be cleaned immediately. Machine or engine system surfaces should be wiped clean and rinsed with clean fresh water. Caution should be used when dispensing DEF near an engine system that has recently been running.
Note: Spilling DEF onto hot components may cause the release of ammonia vapors. Do not breathe ammonia vapors. Do not clean up any spills with bleach.

Cleaning the Pipe System
NOTICE |
---|
Debris in the pipe system impairs the service life of the pump. If the pipe system is flushed using the pump during the initial commissioning, an extra commissioning filter has to be installed temporarily upstream of the pump on the system side. |
If required, commissioning filter installed (mesh width 0.02 mm).
Clean the complete pipe system before commissioning to protect the pump.
Ensure that the pump is supplied clean DEF meeting "ISO 22241-1" or "ISO 18611". Flush the system thoroughly prior to final assembly with either DEF or clean fresh water. Do not flush debris back into the bulk tank. If the fluid must be returned to the bulk tank, utilization of a temporary filter is recommended.
Protecting the pump station against impermissible overpressure
Prior to commissioning, ensure that the supplied pressure relief valve is in place, adjusted correctly and system valves are open to allow return flow to the bulk tank. Customer supplied valves that block pressure relief flow are not recommended as they may interfere with the pressure relief function.
Note: Refer to: "Integrated Pressure Relief Valve - Pressure Adjustment Procedure"
Prior to commissioning, ensure that pressure relief valves are in place, set correctly if adjustable, and system valves are open to allow return flow to the bulk tank.

Let the pumped liquid flow in the pump station until it exits at the venting points on the pump head.
During the filling process, turn the system on and off for just a few seconds until fluid is coming from the venting ports is air-free.
To vent close the opened valves and install vent screws and O-rings (1).
Manually Priming the Pump
- When the system has airlock and pump fails to prime.
- Turn off power.
- Remove pressure gauge or plug from tee fitting at pump outlet (Refer to illustration drawing at the front of this section).
Note: Fluid may come out of this port when the plug is removed. Provide an adequate catch basin for fluid spillage, if required. Fluid will come out of this port when the pump is started. It is recommended that you attach adequate plumbing from this port so fluid will not be sprayed or lost. Use high-pressure-rated hose and fittings from this port. Take all safety precautions to assure safe handling of the fluid being pumped.
- Turn the system on briefly for 10 - 15 seconds until fluid coming from this port is air-free.
- Turn off power.
- Remove plumbing that was temporarily installed, and reinstall pressure or plug.
Operation
The DEF Transfer Pump is designed to work in conjunction with both Caterpillar Air Assisted and Airless DEF dosing systems. Its primary function is to draw DEF from the main bulk tank and supply it to one or several SCR Caterpillar dosing control systems. The DEF Transfer Pump has two modes, manual and automatic. Manual mode is only used for testing and troubleshooting. When in automatic mode, the DEF Transfer Pump receives a fill command from the engine system dosing control requesting DEF be supplied. When the DEF Transfer Pump receives a fill signal, it triggers the pump to run until the fill signal terminates. The pump will then continue to run for a brief period before shutting off and waiting for the next fill signal. Also included with the DEF Transfer Pump is a primary DEF strainer and a secondary bypass screen that may be used to continue operation while servicing the primary.
Proper Use
- The DEF Transfer Pump is designed solely for transporting DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid).
- The DEF Transfer Pump may only be used within the operating limits specified on the rating plate and in the published technical data. In the case of operating data that does not agree with the specifications on the rating plate, contact your Cat dealer for assistance.
- The DEF Transfer Pump may only be mounted and operated in accordance with the specifications in these mounting and operating instructions and the associated documents.
Misuse
- The product is not suitable for pumping liquids outside the operating limits.
- Any bypassing or deactivation of safety equipment during operation is prohibited.

Functional Principle
The DEF Transfer Pump consists of two filter lines that are fitted with a secondary strainer (15) or primary DEF strainer (7) that protect the pump (12) against damage from fluid born debris. The DEF is always only pumped through one line, while the second one is in stand-by mode. Each line can be individually opened and closed with a shut-off valve (8) upstream or shut-off valve (6) downstream of the secondary strainer or filter.
The adjustable pressure relief valve (14) or the non-return valve outlet (18*) prevents the undesired return flow of the DEF into the pump.
The operating pressure can be monitored with the installed suction-side and pressure-side pressure gauge (17) and the suction-side pressure gauge (2). The pressure switch (16) allows reaction to unwanted values. The overflow valve installed on the pressure side keeps the operating pressure to a constant
The pump station has a switch and control cabinet (4). All the drives and electrical measuring instruments are already wired and connected.
Two DEF Transfer Pumps can be stacked and bolted to each other above the feet (5).
The drip pan collects leaks from the DEF Transfer Pump. The drip pan can be emptied through the drain (10).
On-Board Replacement Parts
Caterpillarrecommends that a supply of DEF Transfer Pump replacement parts be stored on board. This is to allow repair offshore or at remote ports.

This section explains how to disassemble and inspect all easily serviceable parts of the pump.
Removal and Inspection of Manifold and Valve Plate
- Remove all eight bolts (7) and washers (6) around the manifold.
- Remove the manifold.
- Inspect the manifold for warping or wear around the inlet and outlet ports. If wear is excessive, replace the manifold.
- To check if the manifold is warped, remove the head gasket (5) and place a straightedge across. A warped manifold should be replaced.
- Remove the two socket-head capscrews (4).
- Inspect the valve plate in the same manner as the manifold.
Removal and Inspection of Valves
The three inlet and three outlet valve assemblies are identical (but face in opposite directions). Inspect each valve as follows:
- Remove valve assembly (8) from valve plate.
- Inspect the spring retainer (15), and replace if worn.
- Inspect the valve spring (14). If the valve spring is shorter than a new spring, replace (do not stretch the old spring).
- Inspect the valve poppet (13). If worn excessively, replace.
- Remove the valve seat (12). A seat puller is included in the Wanner Tool Kit. Inspect the valve seat for wear, and replace if necessary. Install a new O-ring (11).
- Inspect the dampening washer (9), replace if worn.
Installation of Valves
- Clean the valve ports and shoulders with emery cloth, and lubricates with lubricating gel or petroleum.
- Install the O-ring (11) on the valve seat (10).
- Inlet (3 lower valves in the illustration below).Insert the spring retainer (15) into the valve plate, then insert the spring, valve, tetra seal, valve seat with O-ring, and dampening washer (14) ( 13) ( 12) ( 10) ( 9). A flat O-ring [tetra seal] (11) goes between the plastic spring retainer and seat.
- Outlet (3 upper valves in the illustration). Install procedure as inlet valves.
Illustration 31 | g06261855 |
Installing inlet and outlet valves |
Removal and Inspection of Diaphragms
- Lift a diaphragm (3) by one edge, and turn the pump shaft until the diaphragm moves up to"top dead center."This will expose machined cross holes in the plunger shaft behind the diaphragm.
Note: If the pump has a hollow shaft, use the shaft rotator from the Wanner Tool Kit to turn the shaft.
- Remove the three flat-head screws (1) and O-rings (2) from the edge access holes in the diaphragm plate. Insert a 3/32” hex wrench (A03-163-2200) into one of the holes in the diaphragm plate. Turn and pull the diaphragm (3) until the front cross hole in the valve plunger spool lines up and allows the hex wrench to pass through. (Do not remove the hex wrench until the new diaphragm is installed.
- Unscrew the diaphragm. Use a 5/16 in. (8 mm) open-end wrench, and turn counterclockwise.
- Inspect the diaphragm (3) carefully. A ruptured diaphragm generally indicates a pumping system problem, and replacing only the diaphragm will not solve the larger problem. Inspect the diaphragm for the following:
- Small puncture.Caused by a sharp foreign object in the fluid, or by an ice particle.
- Diaphragm pulled awayfrom the sides. Caused by fluid being frozen in the pump, or by over pressurization of the pump.
- Diaphragm becoming stiffand losing flexibility. Caused by pumping a fluid that is incompatible with the diaphragm material.
- Diaphragm edge chewed awayUsually caused by over pressurizing the system.
Installation of Diaphragms
- Clean away any spilled oil. Apply Loctite No. 242 Threadlocker to the screw of the new diaphragm (or the old one, as appropriate).
- Install the diaphragm (3) and tighten to 10 in-lbs (110 N-cm).
- Repeat the above inspection procedure (and replacement, if necessary) with the other two diaphragms.
- Remove hex wrench (A03-163-2200).
Flush Contaminant from Hydraulic End
(Only if a diaphragm has ruptured)
Illustration 32 | g06280057 |
(16) Drain plug |
- With the valve plate and manifold still removed (see above), remove the oil drain plug (16) and allow all oil and contaminant to drain out.
- Fill the reservoir with fresh oil, manually turn the pump shaft to circulate the oil, and drain once again.
- Refill the reservoir. If the oil appears milky, there is still contaminant in the reservoir. Repeat the flushing procedure until the oil appears clean.
Reinstall Valve Plate and Manifold
- Reinstall the valve plate to the diaphragm plate with bolts (4), with the valve assemblies installed as outlined above.
- Reinstall the head gasket (5) on the rear side of the manifold. Use petroleum jelly or lubricating gel to hold in place.
- Reinstall the manifold onto the valve plate.
- Insert all bolts (7), with washers (6), around the edge of the manifold, and alternately tighten opposite bolts until all are bolts are secure. Torque to 15 ft-lbs (20 N-m).
- Recheck all bolts for tightness.
- With the pump in horizontal position, fill the reservoir with the appropriate lubricating oil for the application.
Note: See Maintenance section for details on proper oil.
- All air in the oil within the hydraulic cell (behind the diaphragms) must be forced out by turning the shaft (and thus pumping the piston). A shaft rotator is included in the Wanner Tool Kit.
Turn or jog the shaft until a bubble-free flow of oil comes out of each access hole in the diaphragm plate (11). Watch the oil level in the reservoir; when gets too low during priming, air will be drawn into the pistons (inside the hydraulic end). This will cause the pump to run rough, and you will have to start over again with priming the hydraulic cells.
Reinstall the flat-head screw (4) and O-ring (6) for each access holes are primed.
