Abstract
A DEF quality sensor integrated into a DEF tank with removable control circuitry preferably includes a housing and control circuitry. The housing preferably includes a base housing portion and a detachable cover. A sensor opening is formed through a bottom of the DEF tank to receive an outside perimeter of the base housing portion. The base housing portion is sealed to the DEF tank with any suitable sealant. Most of the base housing portion is located inside the DEF tank. The detachable cover is located outside the DEF tank. The detachable cover includes the control circuitry. The detachable cover may be secured to a bottom of the base housing portion with any suitable attachment device or method. The improved removable DEF quality sensor includes the benefits of decreased replacement part storage capacity for parts supplies as well as improved ease of serviceability for repair.
