    He did not put DEF in the fuel tank. You really should read before posting

    I specifically looked EVERYWHERE on the pump for instructions. I consider myself an educated person, and yet, I guess it happens in the best of families.

    As for the how I fit the nozzle in the DEF tank - I just told you I am educated/creative :) I think it's come to the point that I will laugh about it.

    Meanwhile, got a room at the crappiest motel I have ever stayed at anywhere I have been in the world.

    "Let's get you a hotel for the weekend. Find a hotel, keep receipts, we'll reimbirse you".

    I don't know yet if that means they will not fire me :)

    If they have to replace the engion,doubt you'll be laughing.A gallon may not be much but the fact that you drove it that way for 500 miles could have done some serious damage.

    well just for the RECORD...i'm a newb female driver in training with Werner, and my trainer instructed me on the difference between DEF and DIESEL and where they both go accordingly. It was covered on DAY #1 on the truck, lol.

    so before anyone says "well Werner...", they can just shove it right now cause Werner didn't just hand me the keys to nothing and tell me to get hooked or gone.

    Everything's fine and dandy, don't get worked up. As I mentioned I drove 5 trucks, 2 with trainers and the one in question is the third on my own. None of the previous ones with DEF.

    And as a lot of people here know, there is no consistency of any sort in the big companies, Werner or not. Same thing with trainers. No two are the same and teach you the same things and even worse - the same way. Consider yourself lucky.

    I am going in for a shower. (TMI, I know. Just bored out of my mind)
