I grabbed fuel at the franklin OH, pilot on I-75 few months after i was cut loose on my own. Tried to pull away from the pumps but lost power like engine was derrating on purpose. Went to park in a spot quick before i blocked a fuel lane.
Called the shop told them i had just fueled. First response is you didnt put def in the fuel tanks did you? Im like no im not that dense.
Long story short is one tech got sent out to look at codes and ended up removing the speedometer cable so i could get the truck to a shop. (Works on volvos apparently) tech leaves now i cant go anywhere because i cant get any acceleration which put me on the tow list.
Wire on a sensor shorted to the computer which caused the derrating issue.
Im scarred from the accusation of putting def in the fuel tanks lol thanks @IluvCATSbottomdumpin, IluvCATS, KillingTime and 1 other person Thank this. -
You gotta eat a whole can of this, which I'll send back.
Side effects may vary..... Lol.

Well this is fitting for this thread...unicorns, an idiots. I got you covered.
An please don't put deaf people in your gas tank. It's not very nice, and it won't help your fuel issues. In fact it'll clog your tank all up! An it could be considered a hate crime. The ADA may or may not cover this..(Americans with Disabilities Act)
*I tease. No offense is meant to those hard of hearing. As you can see I'm against stuffing them in gas tanks. So no need to be offended. I'm on your side!

Adding DEF to diesel will freeze an engine. I took this as a joke. But hey. Some new driver might not. #######.
IluvCATS Thanks this. -
wore out Thanks this.

it probably would be better to add antifreeze to the fuel and def to be sure
IluvCATS Thanks this. -
I am going to turn off my Def system. Because I dont feel like buying any. The carrier has it in bulk. I'm just going to pull some fuses but will get a derate of a little bit I think. Will know in the morning. I am hoping my elog is not affected.
Crude Truckin' and IluvCATS Thank this.
