Diesel in DEF tank

Thanks for updating us tonakis.Im guessen mid afternoon tomorrow they'll be done.

 

In this case even the $20 is generous considering the "breakdown" was driver caused.

 

I was thinken Werner does normally pay more then that for brkdown but in this case maybe that's why only $20.00 a day.

 

Have they even started on it yet?If not plan on another 2 days before its done.Parts probably won't be in till sometime after 10 am.

 

I drive a cascadia too, after this thread I look at it every time I fuel wondering how.

but live and learn I guess

 

Ummm... you even DEF, bro? I could see some logic if it was DEF in the fuel tank, but how would a foreign substance in the DEF tank damage the engine, exactly?

 

For those that don't think it's possible to to put diesel in the def, you have very little imagination lol. I drive a ' 14 cascadia and I guarantee I could do it multiple ways if I decided too.

Now, that being said.. This was my first def truck. I picked it up in Illinois where it had been abandoned by another driver. My instructions? Here's the keys, drive safe. I think the best lesson learned from this hopefully should be, if something doesn't seem right, ask questions. When I unscrewed the def cap, I knew that big diesel nozzle wasn't right. But instead of spending however long it took to "make it work", I looked for and found the hidden def nozzle.

Anyone who has been following this knows I've been in tonakas corner as far as not harping on him. Hakuna matata and all that. My point of this is not let the lesson be, don't put diesel in the def, but get the bigger picture. If it doesn't seem right, it probably isn't.

I've made my share of mistakes in life and fully expected and accepted my ### chewin, but only needed the one..

 

I agree,we've all been harping on him too much.He gets the point.This thread was mainly for ppl that don't understand Def and how costly 1 mistake can be and for that I thank tonakis.This is an informative thread.I learned a lot about DEF.
