can i put water in my def tank?

I'm not a trucker, so I don't really know, but... Wouldn't this be something you'd check in your normal pre-trip? Wouldn't it be something you'd carry extra with you OTR? Just wondering.

 

Gas stations sell DEF because even newer pickups with diesels use DEF. All you need to do is unhook from your trailer and go find an autoparts store or a gas station that sells diesel, as they will have a few gallon jugs on the shelf. You can go 300 miles on 1 gallon of DEF. I still have 3 gallons left when my warning light comes on.

 

Remember to top it off when you get fuel. Back in the day we didnt have ultra low sulfur diesel or DEF or particulate filters. Just the cost of being a driver.

 

For future reference, almost any dealer who sells new diesel pickup trucks have DEF in their parts department, too if you can't find a truckstop or truck dealer.

I'm not sure but those drivers who use gallon jugs for pee storage and like to throw them out on the side of the road??? That pee would probably work much better in the DEF tank than water.

 

i really hope he isnt another one of ours

 

We have heard one guy filled his def tank with washer fluid ! Blue cap and all. About 4 grand repair bill .

 

HA! but probably true; I don't have DEF and I wouldn't pee in a bottle to try it if I did. Funny tho

 

And when you come back, enjoy that new Toll on the George Washington Brigde. Went from$65.00 to $75.00.
