    Well... trucks gone through 1.5 gallons of oil this week. Roughly.

    Playing with fire here. Wondering how much longer I have before I'm back at a dealership...

    While on the topic of DEF:

    So this is strictly hearsay and rumor, but I have heard twice now (once last fall and the other in the last week or two) that California is now considering banning the SCR portion (DEF) of the current emission control process, and utilizing DPF only.

    Does anyone have any information to substantiate or refute this?

    When we traded last year for model year 15 combines they came with DEF. We ordered a new 2018 sprayer this year and will have it also. Up until then we never handled the crap.

    We have a fuel caddy that we bought about 5 years ago and pull behind our pickup that has a 100 gal tank and pump just for DEF, along with 750 gal tank for diesel and small compartment for tools.

    We knew at some point we would be getting into DEF so this will come in handy when going to the field to service them. Unfortunately now it's just another thing to check and top off.

    We bought a 250 gal tote last fall cause they had a good deal on them, but now it sits in our shop wasting space to keep it from freezing.

    “Either way, we’re living in a world (where) we’re still going through pollution. But the difference is we are getting some type of benefit from (the burger),” said Maria Segura.

    This was years ago when my cousin lived out there for college.

    I’ve also heard that they are going to do away with DEF. but I wouldn’t hold my breath on it. This communist state never does anything that makes actual, real life sense.

    We are having a few people over today for the NASCAR race. I had my wife pick up 50 B-Dubs hot wings and I cooked some deer sausage that is soaking in devils spit from famous daves.
