    Sprayed everywhere. Hope the quality sensor didn't just get ####ed. Employee who I brought out seemed to not be inclined to put out of order sign up. Guy tried to tell me that it shouldn't have been left unattended....on a def pump...

    I always stood there holding it . Didn't even know it had a auto fill option. Always thought the hose would retract if I let go

    Yeah, I was holding it. Almost all of them you can't set to auto.

    Usually I can’t get the #### to come out more than half a gallon at a time and the nozzle handle clicking on and off constantly. :mad:

    Hate when I get one of those you've got to kind of just barely squeeze to get it to run without clicking off.

    Knock the nozzle on the ground a couple times to bust up the crystallized def around the tip. Or turn the nozzle so it goes into your def tank at an angle. My last truck I had to hold the nozzle upside down to keep it from kicking off all the time.

    You mean “gently tap it off the ground” not smash it like you want to break it? But how do you get the point across for them to clean it or fix it. ‍♂️
