Adding DEF without leaks?

[John Jensen]

I just pointed out the ELEPHANT in the room.


I’m going to leave this conversation cause it’s no different than talking to a rock. Good day.

Yep, as always. When one can't answer for what they say, they leave with criticism.

If the OP deleted, he/she wouldn’t have the ****’n problem. Now do you understand? I left, you should’ve left it alone. Start being able to put 2 and 2 together. Leave me out of this thread. I’ve said my peace.

I clearly understood your simple original post. It was your subsequent post that I asked, "Who do you think didn't comprehend your simple post? Or, why did you say that?"
They remain unanswered.
I've said my peace as well. Cheers

Calm down before you have an aneurism, he answered your question multiple times and you continue to argue

No, he didn't. If I missed it, please show me his answer.
I am calm. Thanks for your concern
I'm also done with it, not worth it.

Let's get back on topics folks, keep in mind I'll win any argument you're thinking of starting or continuing.

When my truck “needed” DEF, the 2.5 gallon boxes with the accordion nozzle, I never had an issue just as long as the vent was on top.
I use them for gas cans now.

After moving from diesel to gas and back I now find that my diesel requires DEF (my last diesel, a 2006, did not). I have not found a way to add DEF using the nozzles provided with the product without having fluid leak out through the little rubber vent at the nozzle. I can't believe everyone puts up with this so I must be doing something wrong. For now I am transferring to another container and then adding to the truck. Any tips, suggestions?

Same problem could not get breather up without leaking at threads ‍

I always get leaks too. Started pouring directly from the 2.5gal bottle into a narrow neck long bowl channel. No problems since. Keep the funnel in the Ram box.

Punch a small hole in the back end at the top for added vent .

every 3 to 4 tanks...no issues dribbling here.

Your so right-He lost me from the beginning. I love reading these post for the info I get but comments like Fuel's leave me lost for my common sense-no matter how hard I try I can't make sense of the post. Its as bad as when people leave comments like "ditto", "I agree" "I have nothing to add" to a post. Its not hard to let people know what you're thinking but it may take more than a few words, that will make sense to the rest of the world! I haven't had to add DEF yet but my 2022 came with a special funnel under the passenger seat-doesn't it help?

 

[jvbuttex]

Hello there, not everyone knows everything like you obviously do. How about let people ask the questions that is important to them. Just like my young son / daughter, asked silly questions some times, yet we as adults entertain it ang give them answers.

so, new to diesel with def also. brand new rebel Echo-diesel and havent had to fill up the def tank yet. when you get the def at gas stations, where is that normally located or what stations carry the def. i have a jug to put in but was wondering about filling at the station. used to have a Cummings in my 2000 2500 long ago.....didnt need no stinking DEF......lol

If you have any truck stops near you, the DEF pumps will be right next to or the same pump as the diesel pump. There a what I would call a mini truck stop that has three diesel fuel bays couple miles down the road from me. You can use Google to find a station.
You can pump the DEF directly into the truck DEF filler but go slow, just like the semi truck diesel pumps they're a lot faster than regular pumps.

I prefer using the 2 1/2 gallon jug to refill the DEF tank. I've used the DEF pumps a few times but I always get that bit of dribble from the DEF nozzle no matter how careful I am which results in a small collection of DEF in the fill area which becomes white and it is almost impossible to clean out of the small areas.

Maybe I'll try using a towel to catch the end of the DEF nozzle next time.

Another option would be to refill your empty 2.5 gallon jugs at the DEF pump.

Black vent needs to be topside, never had a issue
