    DEF Isn't more expensive than fuel so why do they only let you get a little at a time, and not even every fuel stop? I have to ask frequently to add it to my fuel stop and the warning light has been blinking three times in two weeks.

    Call the Brooks office and ask for Kermit Long. He's the fuel czar at May. I'm sure he can answer that question. A question btw, that has been discussed here in the May the forum ad nauseam.

    You really should not need DEF at every fuel stop. I think you are supposed to get 250 miles pper gallon for def. *(not sure about that). Maybe once a week you should be putting def in. That is unless you have a 3 gallon tank.

    Buy a few Gallons of DEF. Keep the receipt for expenses at the end of the year. This way, you will always have it.
