EcoD has some heated DEF lines though I don't think that the tank itself is heated. EPA allows for the DEF system to be inoperable because of frozen DEF for some period of time, I've read 70 miles, before the EVIC starts throwing up error messages. As you drive the truck the lines defrost as does the tank.On my way to work this morning my Rebel gave a message to fill the DEF or the vehicle won’t start after 800 km, the truck has 7,079 km and I put 17 litres of DEF so just over 400 km/litre of DEF, does anybody know if the DEF
consumption changes much in the winter? I live 1000 km north of the border and the temperature goes down to -40C or -40F. I am a bit worried about the DEF freezing, the fluid freezes at -11C or 12F, I do park in an insulated garage at home and the truck will be plugged in at work.
Don't fill the tank more than 3/4 full as DEF expands when frozen.
I wouldn't stress over this.
