    Well, DeereRunner97 did mention it. My first truck (Kenworth T660) as a solo driver had the DEF on the passenger side. To this day I don’t remember how I dealt with it. I must have gone through the wrong side just to fuel.

    Interestingly there is a Petro in Fargo, ND, that has the DEF pump on the passenger side. I had to turn around just to pump DEF! How strange.

    Mix both then they won't care about emission problems.

    I always wondered that if I ran out of def, if I could just urinate into the def tank. I'm not saying to do it, but say if it were an emergency and I screwed up somehow.

    Local trucks don't get to the large truck stops......the small fuel
    stop close to our yard didn't have pump DEF for quite a few years.
    When the fuel stop owner found out we were buying some fuel at
    a different fuel stop he offered the "box DEF" at "bulk pump" price.
