An operating material supply system for a motor vehicle includes: i) at least one operating material container for storing operating material at risk of freezing; ii) at least one conveying device, which is designed to convey the operating material stored in the operating material container upstream in the direction of at least one injector, or in the opposite direction downstream, iii) at least one air separator, which is connected to the operating material container via a feed line; iv) at least one first injector line, which connects the air separator to at least one first injector. When the air separator is installed in the motor vehicle, a connector for the first injector line is distanced further from the roadway surface than a connector for the feed line.

Systems and apparatuses include a diesel exhaust fluid tank, a first temperature sensor positioned within the diesel exhaust fluid tank and structured to provide first temperature information indicative of a first temperature, and a second temperature sensor positioned within the diesel exhaust fluid tank and structured to provide second temperature information indicative of a second temperature. The systems and apparatuses further include one or more processing circuits including one or more memory devices coupled to one or more processors, the one or more memory devices configured to store instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to provide energy to a heating system based on the first temperature information and the second temperature information.

A tubing for a fluid medium of motor vehicles, in particular for an aqueous urea solution, comprises a tube, at least one heating wire, and a plug arranged on a tube end of the tube. The plug has a plug shank and a housing which surrounds the tube end and the heating wire. The plug shank comprises a latching means, preferably a collar, for latching in a connector. The tube has an inner tube and a contact element, wherein the heating wire is arranged between the inner tube and the contact element. The contact element brings the heating wire into contact with the inner tube, and the housing partially surrounds the contact element. A first segment of the heating wire runs on the tube end between the contact element and the inner tube, wherein a second segment of the heating wire runs between the contact element and the housing.

Tank for a liquid solution based on water and urea which is suitable for being combined with a selective catalytic reduction system. The tank comprises: a container including an upper wall; a filling pipe union which is positioned on the upper wall of the container and which is suitable for introducing the liquid solution; a lower opening, from which the liquid solution being introduced passes into the container and which protrudes with respect to the upper wall towards the interior of the container; a closure float which is positioned in the container and which is connected to the lower opening and which is configured so as to raise and close the lower opening once the liquid solution in the container reaches a predetermined level.

A Diesel Emissions Fluid (DEF) Thawing arrangement and method is provided for use with a vehicle having an engine, an Engine Control Module (ECM), an exhaust system, and a Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) catalytic device. A DEF injection system is connected to the exhaust system and to the ECM. A DEF tank is connected to the DEF injection system, and is provided with a Urea Quality Sensor (UQS).
