New Rislone DEF Treatment Super Concentrate Keeps Diesel Exhaust Fluid Crystal-Free and Boosts Performance
Groundbreaking formula in larger size eases maintenance of SCR and DEF emissions systems Rislone Improves DEF Fluid Keep Diesel Emissions Systems Crystal-Free HOLLY, Mich., June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rislone is rolling out a super-concentrated version of its groundbreaking Diesel DEF Treatment that stabilizes and improves diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). The new product is sized for commercial and governmental fleets as well as agricultural operations. New Rislone Diesel DEF Treatment Super Concentrate (p/n 4782) comes in a hefty 33 oz. bottle capable of treating up to 55 gallons of DEF. A case of six bottles treats one 330-gallon IBC tote. Treating the tote makes it easy to ensure that each vehicle gets the extra protection of Diesel DEF Treatment every time the DEF/AdBlue® tank is filled or topped off. Rislone's exclusive formula improves selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system efficiency, stabilizes diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) and prevents AdBlue®/DEF crystallization. Super Concentrate contains the same ingredients as Rislone's original DEF Treatment, which is sized for treating a single diesel engine. 'Rislone Diesel DEF Treatment Super Concentrate is truly a case of less is much more,' says Clay Parks, Rislone vice president of development. 'All of our DEF products make it easier to protect and maintain the SCR and DEF emissions systems on diesel vehicles. Our concentrated formula makes it faster and more efficient to apply the treatment across a fleet of vehicles.' Diesel vehicles that are already showing signs of white crystal buildup – such as warning lights coming on, power and fuel efficiency dropping, or being forced into 'limp mode' – should first be treated with Rislone DEF Crystal Clean Diesel DEF & SCR Emissions System Cleaner (p/n 4784). Once the system is clean, regular use of Rislone Diesel DEF Treatment Super Concentrate will help keep it that way by preventing white crystallization deposits from developing, which protects the entire DEF and SCR system, including tank, pump, heater, sender, lines, injector and mixer. Bear in mind that diesel vehicles that are regularly driven at low speeds, with light loads, for short durations, or that make frequent stops are especially prone to developing white crystal deposits in their SCR systems. Rislone Diesel DEF Treatment Super Concentrate works with all urea DEF/ AdBlue® fluids to prevent crystal deposits. It will not void manufacturers' new vehicle warranties. To use, measure the required amount per Rislone's dosage chart, and pour directly into a DEF drum, tote, pail, cube, or tank. Like all Rislone products, Diesel DEF Treatment Super Concentrate is made in the USA. Rislone products are available where auto parts are sold. Learn more at Based in Holly, Michigan, Rislone has been America's best-selling engine treatment brand for more than 100 years. Rislone is ISO 9001 certified.

How you could get a roadside fine amid new DVSA changes
The alteration came into effect earlier this week, and is intended to make the process simpler for drivers. It comes as the DVSA has started using a new company to process payments for roadside fines. This will enable drivers to use their smartphones at the roadside to pay for several offences. The DVSA has the authority to issue Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) for various offences related to vehicle condition, driver hours and licensing, impacting both domestic and international drivers. What could I get a roadside fine for? Some common offences that could see drivers hit with a DVSA roadside fine are listed below. Driver's House and Tachograph Offences Exceeding daily or weekly driving time limits Not taking required breaks or rest periods Failing to use a tachograph Using a defective or tampered tachograph Falsifying or failing to produce tachograph records Vehicle Roadworthiness Driving with defective brakes, tyres, lights, suspension, or steering Dangerous load securing or overloaded vehicles Failure to carry out proper daily walkaround checks Operating an unroadworthy vehicle (may result in a prohibition as well as a fine) Licencing and Documentation Driving without a valid driver's licence or correct entitlements (e.g., no HGV licence) Operating without a valid Operator's Licence No MOT certificate (if required) Lack of vehicle insurance or road tax Failure to produce required documentation (e.g. vehicle registration, insurance) What is Fuel Duty? Weight and Load Offences Overloading axles or gross vehicle weight Incorrect or dangerous load securing Incorrect use of trailers Emissions and Mechanical Defects Emissions tampering e.g. AdBlue cheat devices or DPF removals Using a vehicle that does not meet emissions standards Driver Conduct and Road Safety Using a mobile phone while driving Driving without wearing a seatbelt Poor vehicle condition leading to immediate prohibition Excessive vehicle noise or emissions Recommended reading: Fines can range from £50 to £300 per offence, depending on severity, and multiple fines can be issued at once (for both driver hours and vehicle defects). Major changes to car tax were also introduced earlier this year, seeing costs go up for many drivers. Zero and low-emission vehicles such as electric cars used to be exempt by HMRC, but this ended in April.

UK drivers face roadside fines for 27 offences as new change is introduced The DVSA has a new system coming into place which will speed up how you pay penalties. Here is a list of all the common fines road users face The DVSA are set to upgrade their payment system (Image: Getty ) New changes to the payment system used by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) have come into force, permitting drivers to settle bills using Apple Pay and Google Pay. Starting on Wednesday (May 28), the DVSA will roll out the new method to allow different forms of payment. The change means the payment screen for standard card payments will look slightly different. Users will not have to change the way you use the payment system and many people will not notice a difference. The change means drivers can choose to use Apple Pay and Google Pay. A spokesperson for the DVSA said: "Many people will find this quicker and easier than a standard card payment, especially when using a mobile phone." In the UK, the DVSA is authorised to issue on-the-spot fines (Fixed Penalty Notices or FPNs), for a wide range of driving-related contraventions including vehicle condition, driver hours, and licensing offences. Such actions can be enforced against both domestic and international drivers, reports the Express. Here are the common reasons drivers or operators might receive a DVSA roadside fine: Driver's Hours and Tachograph Offences Exceeding daily or weekly driving time limits. Not taking required breaks or rest periods. Failing to use a tachograph. Using a defective or tampered tachograph. Falsifying or failing to produce tachograph records. Vehicle Roadworthiness Driving with defective brakes, tyres, lights, suspension, or steering. Dangerous load securing or overloaded vehicles. Failure to carry out proper daily walkaround checks. Operating an unroadworthy vehicle (may result in a prohibition as well as a fine). Licensing and Documentation Driving without a valid driver's licence or correct entitlements (e.g., no HGV licence). Operating without a valid Operator's Licence. No MOT certificate (if required). Lack of vehicle insurance or road tax. Failure to produce required documentation (e.g. vehicle registration, insurance). Weight and Load Offences Overloading axles or gross vehicle weight. Incorrect or dangerous load securing. Incorrect use of trailers. Emissions and Mechanical Defects Emissions tampering (e.g., AdBlue cheat devices or DPF removals). Using a vehicle that does not meet emissions standards. Driver Conduct and Road Safety Using a mobile phone while driving. Driving without wearing a seatbelt. Poor vehicle condition leading to immediate prohibition. Excessive vehicle noise or emissions. Fines and Penalties Fines can range from £50 to £300 per offence, depending on severity. Multiple fines can be issued at once (e.g., for both driver hours and vehicle defects). In serious cases, vehicles may be immobilised until issues are resolved or fines are paid. Foreign drivers/operators may be required to pay on-the-spot deposits. Article continues below
