DEF TANK COVER
A diesel tank solution
Suburban Manufacturing Group has been developing and manufacturing covers and sleeves to protect components from all sorts of ambient conditions for over 40 years.
Diesel engines are required to use diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) to reduce harmful emissions such as particulate matter (black soot) and nitrogen oxides. To ensure DEF performs properly, it must be protected from frost and maintained at the right temperature.
Python’s insulated DEF tank cover provides reliable protection by:
-
Shielding tanks from cold and harsh environments
-
Regulating DEF temperature for consistent performance
-
Supporting cleaner emissions and healthier air quality
LOW PROFILE ASSEMBLY
Due to engine bay and footprint constraints, locating the DEF tank can present heat or cold issues effecting the diesel exhaust fluid.

BUILT TO WITHSTAND EXTREMES
Heat can cause acid conversion prior to injection into the SCR and cold can cause freezing prior to injection into the SCR.

NO TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATION
Integrated insulation prevents temperature migration; the outer layer protects the insulation from external ambient conditions.

SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION
With EPA emission standards, diesel engines require diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) to reduce harmful pollutants. Python's insulated DEF tank cover helps fleets stay compliant while protecting the environment.
- Insulated protection: shields DEF tanks from frost and extreme weather
- Chemical stability: maintains the proper temperature for DEF effectiveness
- Emission reduction: supports lower particulate matter and nitrogen oxides
- Regulatory compliance: helps fleets meet strict EPA requirements
- Cleaner air: contributes to healthier communities and a more sustainable future

PROTECT AGAINST THE ELEMENTS
- Radiant lined for thermal protection
- External heavy urethane coating preventing moisture/air penetration
- Low profile assembly
- Military-grade hook and loop closures for easy installs
