The average U.S. diesel exhaust fluid pump price dropped dramatically between June and July, reports Integer Research in its monthly DEF Tracker.

The fall comes after four straight months of rising prices and is the lowest average price recorded since DEF Tracker was launched in October 2011, Integer Research noted.

Love’s Travel Stops, which offers bulk DEF pumps at 150 of its locations, introduced a lower national pump price during July, according to the report.

The decrease in DEF pricing is a reflection of falling raw material costs as the urea price softened in June, the report said.
