DEF at the pump is frozen

I always top off because DEF pumps are frozen at some places. Plus, there are places without DEF at the pump & I have to get approval from the company to buy the one in the box. That can be a major pain.

If you top it off each time then it only takes less than a minute each time.

When I did reefer I was lucky I didn't have a DEF truck. Fuel, DEF, reefer...fun fun fun.

 

He does, but you have to watch the expiration date.

 

DEF is almost 70% water.It's gonna freeze.You have hot water lines running to the unit.Your truck will still run,maybe degraded power for awhile.But once the tank comes up to temp you will go back to normal operation.Idiot lights should go off after 3 cycles of the ignition key.Start,stop.etc.

 

Munoz is the same way. Got to get approval to buy it in the box. I only did that once but they let me slide as it was the first time I drove a truck that used def and it was a loaner. My truck at the time was a pre DEF ISX equipped Volvo 780

 

I don't know of anybody who "fusses" about lots of time spent at the fuel island SO LONG AS they are actively pumping and monitoring the goings on. We are fully aware some pumps are very slow but that is not to be directed toward the driver.

And yes, guys we know some of you put the nozzles in the tanks and walk away, not even bothering to turn them on (as a diversion). That's not cool either and in fact is just stupid.

 

11 years in the future and they still don't know how to keep the heaters in the pumps running. It seems like every time it gets down to 10° where def freezes they're all down.

 

Hat Six in Evansville, WY last week temperature was 11 degrees below zero and the def at the pumps worked fine.
Too bad Loves can't figure it out, as Box Elder and Wamsutter Loves had frozen def pumps at 10 to 15 degrees above zero.

 

The DEF BS just gets old. They can make planes that fly sideways and cars that hover, but DEF is the best they can come up with? I think they do this to make battery powered stuff look like an option. Next will be be Leprechaun farts to run the APU

 

I love that place. And to think people actually fight over parking spaces at the J a mile away.
The Hat Six is better in every way, and usually has spots open. Easy to back into spots, unlike the J.
