    Looks like a Pete or KW. DEF tank is probably on the passenger side.

    Nothing wrong.
    • PACCAR = DEF tank on passenger side
    • Pilot = too cheap to make DEF hoses long enough
    • PACCAR + Pilot = industry SNAFU
    I had to do the same thing with my KW T800.

    Always wondered why they don't have just one pump with def on right side instead of left.

    I met a Flying J VP in Billings, MT; he was "unaware" of the problem. We discussed it and I made some suggestions. Although he said he would, I'm sure he did nothing.

    Nope. Nothing wrong. Another clueless Heartland rookie would be my guess.

    What I would sometimes do was if there was no one in the lane to my right I would use that lane's DEF pump, but then you're tying up two lanes, so I would only do it at low use times.

    Most of the time I just carried an empty DEF jug, filled it, then dumped it into the truck's DEF tank. That's a real PITA though.

    Or then what happened to me last week the hose on the satellite pump was missing so I filled one side turned around and filled the other
