Abstract

A system and a process for storing an additive solution and injecting it into the exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine. The system comprises at least one tank for storing the additive, one pump equipped with an inlet and an outlet and that is capable of generating a direct flow (in injection mode) or a reverse flow (in drawing off mode), at least two additive solution suction points, and an injector, wherein a first suction point is connected to the pump inlet and is only active when the pump operates in injection mode, and wherein the second suction point is connected to the pump outlet and is only active when the pump operates in drawing off mode.
