Abstract

An exemplary vehicle exhaust system includes, among other things, a housing defining a fluid chamber and at least one pressure sensor positioned within the fluid chamber. The housing has a fluid inlet configured to receive fluid from a fluid supply and a fluid outlet. A heater heats fluid supplied from the fluid supply such that heated fluid can be injected into a vehicle exhaust component via the fluid outlet. A controller is configured to receive pressure data from the at least one pressure sensor and to determine optimal timing for dosing of the vehicle exhaust component based on the pressure data.
