    I still don't get how you do this. When I went local they gave me a truck with DEF. Never filled one up before. I popped out my flashlight and read that little sticker on the DEF tank a good 5 times before putting it in there. I wasn't going to be that guy. The thought of putting diesel in there definitely didn't cross my mind the whole time.

    Hell, the size of the hole for the tank should be good enough indicator that you shouldn't put diesel in there.

    You're not supposed to make stacks 10 high in the fuel island with them? :biggrin_25513:

    It hasn't been that much of a PITA for me as I thought, but I only use a 1/4 tank of DEF a week usually. I get paid to sleep more than I do to drive these days.

    I'd never do some crap like that, but someone on a union making what, $100 an hour with 50 weeks vacation a year gets to make more money than me? Overpaid workers are overpaid.

    And I had a buddy torch his custom Harley looking to isolate a leak, at night, with his Bic. Not an idiot, by any means, but surely he had a brain fart.
