New to DEF. Never had anything new enough until now. Op manual says codes will trigger and derates will occur with even poor "quality" DEF is sensed.
So what seems to be a trouble free brand, and for those that buy in small box containers, where do you buy? Auto parts store, Amazon, fuel depot, or do truck stops have good deals once in a while?
Thanks.
Where do you buy your DEF? Preferred brand?

Those containers are too expensive. Emergency use only. I buy at pump from mostly ta or petro. No issues yet but it all looks like extortion to me.

We buy from the big chain truck stops. Loves, pilots, ta petro.

Anywhere, from a sealed unopened container. To much risk of contamination from bulk fill.

I have a bulk tank in my garage 500 gallons
But occasionally buy from T/A Petro at pump or fuel stop that is cheaper.
Will tell ya though the truck stops are padding the price about $1.50 a gallon or more for sure. From what I pay in bulk86scotty Thanks this. -
When i bought def i also got one of these. https://www.amazon.com/Diesel-Laptops-Digital-Exhaust-Refractometer/dp/B07GVRZS46 and a beeker i would wash with distilled water every time i went to fill def. Bit of a hastle but never got contaminated def.
Also always let myself run down to 1/4th every 3rd fillup and top off with jugged to keep evaporation from super concentrateing my def in the tank. -
