At what horsepower is DEF required?

74 hp
With Tier 4 Final emissions standards in place, the use of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) is required for diesel engines over 74 hp. As part of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, DEF has been used in over-the-road trucks and other construction equipment for years.

Do Tier 3 engines use DEF?

Tier 3 engines do not require DEF fluid. Equipment manufacturers are using selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to meet Tier 4 final emission standards. This technology injects DEF into the diesel engine exhaust system to achieve the necessary emission reduction by breaking down particulate matter and nitrogen oxide.
