Find some way..because it’ll save your behind in these circumstances…

Only place would be outside...but then it would be frozen...and I have no floorspace inside my cab either and to be honest, I don't even think a box of def would fit in the sidebox height wise...I have to finagle a jug of oil or coolant to sit it upright. These Volvos suck for storageOxbow Thanks this.

Walmart sells boxes of def
Friend Thanks this. -
If you can find any in stock. Without anywhere having working pumps, they would likely be the next choice for us drivers since other places don't have big enough parking lots. I had thought of them, but I called the automotive dept of 3 and all I heard was the ringing of the telephone.Oxbow Thanks this.

Just top off the DEF tank when approaching sub zero temps. I can get 3500 miles on a full DEF tank and I’ve never run 3500 miles of straight sub zero temps.
The Coffee Cup TA branded travel centers in South Dakota actually have a fully enclosed DEF dispenser at their pumps. Works better than Loves rubber flap cover that they use.gentleroger and kylefitzy Thank this. -
Your def tank must be bigger than mine. I usually only manage just under 2000. I filled it in Boardman, OR just west of Hermiston went south of Portland then up to Arlington and now I am west of Sioux Falls a few miles short of 2000.
The whole def systems have been frozen, not just the individual pumps. I am at the Coffee Cup just west of Sioux Falls and their system is frozen as well...along with being out of boxed. -
The question I have is why didn't you top off in Post Falls? Yeah, you had 3/4 of a tank, but you knew you were headed into "Polar Bears Are Wearing Mittens Cold", which means DEF pumps are going to be frozen. It might only be 2 or 3 gallons, but that's 400-600 miles which would likely have gotten you out of the extreme cold.

Am I the only one who has added 12 ounces of homemade def as a last resort?
Oxbow Thanks this.
