    No. once they put the cold weather gear on the DEF it gets even less elegant.

    Yes, it seems like these nozzles wear out incredibly fast. There should be be a better option to replace them by now. I always feel bad for the guys in Kenworths (maybe others as well) with the dank tank on the right side of the truck. That’s just a PITA.

    My old 579 if I flipped the nozzle upside down it would pump wide open. The neck on my new truck must be different because I no longer have that issue.

    I've found that if you grab the nozzle and it's warm from being in that box, it'll work great. If it's cold good luck. A worker told me the stuff crystallizes in the nozzle if it's not kept warm

    You have to become one with the hose.
