Hough Petroleum is a leading supplier of gasoline, diesel fuel and bio-diesel fuel to all types of industry. Hough Petroleum has added Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) to their product line.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)

Beginning in 2010, emissions legislation requires diesel vehicles to significantly reduce emissions and particulate matter (air pollution). We advise our customers to meet these standards by using Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). DEF is a new product that can destroy harmful exhaust emissions, and is required by many heavy-duty trucks, pickups, SUVs and vans delivered after January 2010.

A non-hazardous liquid, DEF consists of 67.5% de-ionized water and 32.5% urea, and is used in combination with Selected Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology. DEF is sprayed into the exhaust and combines with a catalyst to break down NOx (nitrogen oxides) into nitrogen and water. When NOx and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) react in the presence of sunlight, they form photochemical smog, a significant form of air pollution, especially in the summer.

SCR technology offers greater fuel efficiency, increased vehicle reliability and longer oil change intervals - which means greater savings for you.

In 2011, a number of manufacturers of agricultural, construction and forestry equipment will use SCR and DEF in order to meet the EPA's stringent environmental standards.

Bio Diesel

Bio-diesel is a clean burning, renewable fuel made primarily form American soybeans. It produces lower emissions, and its natural cleaning agent and lubricants improve engine performance while reducing maintenance costs. Bio-diesel can be used in any diesel engine with no modifications and is available for on-road and off-road in blends from 2% to 20% depending on your needs.

Premium Diesel Fuel

We deliver premium diesel fuel and premium bio-diesel for the winter months of December through March. This premium diesel product includes an additive that will reduce diesel fuel's tendency to develop flow problems in extremely cold weather. The additive will also address pour point, smoke, power, lubricity and more.

Here's a short checklist of some other things you can do to ensure worry-free operation of your equipment all year long:

• Change your vehicle's fuel filter with the manufacturer's recommended size.
  
• Check your vehicle's water separator daily and drain any water buildup immediately.
  
• Drain your vehicle's tank bottoms to remove water and other contaminates.
  
• Check your vehicle's fuel cap and vent to ensure that water cannot enter.
  
• Check your storage tank for water (using water paste) and other contaminants.
  
• Replace your dispensing pump's fuel filter.
  
• Make sure that all fills, vents and overfills on your storage tanks are tight and in proper operating condition.
  

These preventive maintenance items, along with our premium diesel fuel blend should provide a trouble-free winter.

In addition to fuel and lubricant products, Hough Petroleum has a vast network of professionals to assist you with your storage and equipment needs.

Although Hough Petroleum is a small company its over 60 years of experience is available to you.
