Storage options unveiled for diesel exhaust fluid
Western Global’s new DEF Cube and Top Tote offer two new options for storing diesel exhaust fluid.
The standalone DEF Cube holds 132 US gallons (about 500 liters) and can be located next to on-site fuel storage tanks, making it possible to fill equipment with both fluids at the same time, the company notes. Like the TransCube Global tank, it includes four-way forklift pockets, locking compartments, and a stackable design. Its rugged design is ready for harsh environments, too, Western Global adds.
The Top Tote is less than six feet high, offering easier access to the ports. It stores 110 US gallons (416 liters) and can attach to 20TCG, 40TCG or 50TCG TransCube Global fuel tanks — creating a two-in-one storage option that holds DEF and diesel at the same time.
Top Totes can also be daisy-chained on the 40 and 50 TransCube Global to maintain the proportional relationship of approximately 10% of DEF per diesel. And their reusable nylon Micro Matic RPV valves pair with RSV/RPV couplers to provide closed liquid transfer, and will automatically close once disconnected.
“Until now, DEF has been a universal problem without a universal solution. Our DEF Cube and Top Tote are the quantum leap for DEF storage,” said Jeff Lowe, vice-president of product marketing at Western Global. “Our customers are looking for the same experience with DEF as they get with diesel, and these new storage tanks answer that call with the versatility to connect to and fill any piece of equipment.”

Nice product….but how does it prevent the DEF from freezing in Winter?
Did Western Global install a self-contained heater into the Cube or do they simply provide a “fort & knife” to transfer the DEF to the vehicle during the worst of our winter-season?!
