## Chapters 1–3 of 3

### Diesel Exhaust Fluid Shortage and Union Pacific

- **Episode:** [1459: Wig Out](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1459-wig-out.md)
- **Published:** 2022-06-12
- **Time:** 48:39–56:51

The CEO of Pilot Flying J warned that Union Pacific railroad is forcing a 26% to 50% reduction in shipments, which includes Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). Most trucks manufactured after 2010 require DEF to operate, and a shortage could sideline a significant portion of the U.S. trucking fleet. There is speculation that the shortage is linked to urea being diverted to fertilizer production or potential ESG-driven market manipulation.

### AdBlue Shortage, Diesel Exhaust Fluid, Pig Urine Power

- **Episode:** [1408: Booster Blitz](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1408-booster-blitz.md)
- **Published:** 2021-12-27
- **Time:** 37:26–40:30
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1408-booster-blitz/chapter/adblue-shortage-diesel-exhaust-fluid-pig-urine-power.md

A shortage of AdBlue and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) threatens to disrupt global supply chains, as modern trucks are programmed to shut down without it. A 2010 BBC report is cited, revealing that companies in Denmark have used urea collected from pig urine to create diesel exhaust cleansing products. The segment explores the possibility of "farming" urea from human dialysis waste to meet industrial demand.

### Diesel Exhaust Fluid Problems for Truck Drivers

- **Episode:** [763: Transjester](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/763-transjester.md)
- **Published:** 2015-10-08
- **Time:** 1:49:15–1:51:39
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/763-transjester/chapter/diesel-exhaust-fluid-problems-for-truck-drivers.md

A truck driver provides a "user perspective" on Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), which the EPA mandated for truck engines in 2012. The fluid, which is primarily urea, reportedly freezes in cold temperatures and emits a strong odor similar to cat urine. Drivers face significant performance issues, including "limp mode," if the DEF system fails or if the engine's "regen" soot-cleaning process is interrupted.
