Dave,
You are correct the compound you pour in the tank is pure urea diluted with water. Peeing in the tank definitely will not work. I think someone was trying to be funny & some of us are too pragmatic to see the humor.
Thanks, Tom Hargrave

John, are you talking about urea formaldehyde adhesive to glue the liner in place?
The stuff for diesel exhaust is simply urea in water, a form of nitrogenous organic that is excreted by animals. However, the mention by another poster that one could simply pea in the exhaust fluid tank would not be a good idea, I am sure. Urine is not pure urea and water, but contains other substances. mcneely
