    No doubt cheap sensors at that. Yet more POS sensors that will be failing constantly. It's really amazing how in this day and age they can't even build sensors that won't fail. Every problem I've had with my '11 Peterbilt has been sensor related. "Bad sensor" no crap, ya don't say!

    If they could construct a filtration system to purify urine enough to be useable DEF, truck makers could install space shuttle like urinals in the sleeper and help solve the pee bottle problem at the same time.

    Urea was made from horse pee but it is synthetic now.

    You've been eating it for years; it is also used to bleach flour white!

    Dude... that tall blue bottle in the middle is the BEST tequila I have ever had! And i have had a few... a Mexican lady I know went to visit her family back in the old country and brought back a bottle of that.

    Now back to your regularly scheduled DEF discussion...
