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
