Def at fuel stops

[97Powerstroke]

There is a free app I use called "My Pilot" that tells you fuel prices, DEF prices, if there's a sewage hook-up etc. there is even a trip planner so you can plan where you are going to fill up.

I have the My Pilot app too but prefer Trucker Tools. To each their own.

I carry a 5 gallon kerosene container (blue colored) and pump into it at Pilot or Flying J between trips in the MH. I have a 1 gal bottle I use for transfering to the def tank.

Duhh! What a dummy I am! I just bought a box from my local parts house and spent $14.00 for it. That's $5.60 a gallon! I won't do that again!

Yep.
Spendy fertilizer right there.

A couple of notes...

Shelf life for DEF is about one year.

Store it out of sunlight.

If you need to get rid of some, mix it with some water and use it on your grass.

Yikes!! You must have a different setup than on my 2011 390RB. I usually wind up with half of it on the ground if I use the containers.

I do the pull-into-the-pump-backwards-thing and have never had a problem getting blocked in.

If I ever did, I'd just drop the toad and back out. NO sensible 18 wheeler driver would even think of blocking you in, though.

And X2 on the pilot cad. Would NOT leave home without it (regards's to Karl Malden).

Boowho??

Smells like it too!

[Phil57]

It had shelf life of one year minimum. It will last much longer than that. Mine will freeze in the tank with no issues so far.

on my 2014 360ql I use a hand pump from wall-Mart price around $12. and put the jug on the ground and pump it into the tank work great,, and carry some just in case
