If you can just go to a pilot or Loves and pull through the trucking fuel area. There is fresh def on the pump. You could even fill up another 5 gallon jug of it to have on hand.

This is what I do. I try not to get in the way of the professional truckers if it’s busy. I have to park at the pump and pay inside first. One other advantage is that your DEF tank is exactly full when you’re done. When I’ve filled with a 2 1/2 jug, I always end up with a bit left over.

This is what I always do. Make sure it's a busy truck stop, not some random place that rarely gets a big rig in. Loves, Pilot, Flying J located right off an interstate are usually good bets. The big rigs run through def and diesel so much that they always have fresh fuel and def in the wells.

Great video, thanks! Yeah it’s totally absurd they put this bizzaro cryptic system on the DEF boxes. I bet they have some ancient AS400, mainframe system or something and they’re too lazy / cheap to create a translation program and have the printer put a normal expiration date on the box 1 year or something from date of manufacturer… This is rookie computer science 101 programming stuff I did in my first programming class eons ago…

Great information thank you. But why they make so hard to know

Thank you for info. I had this code at home but out on the road and ran very low. Please note to everyone it burns fast while towing a 30 ft 5th wheel. Why do they make it hard to know the date? Like everything…. Follow the money. Manufacturers sell their old product to us because many of us didn’t get the word. They don’t have to take it back from retailers,and don’t have to recycle or dispose of it. We burn it in our trucks for them, hopefully not doing too much damage along the way. So the government is complicit in this as to allow this crazy code. If it is made in Georgia, JUST SAY SO! If its shelf life is 60 days passed expiration just let us know so we can make an informed decision. The government gets involved when a Subway foot long sandwich measures 11.89 inches, but not this slight of hand labeling?

I'm trying to figure out why you subtracted to the 083 from 365. It expires one year from date of manufacture. So it was made 2019 on the 83rd day of the year, unless I've gotten something off with your math.

Is storing def in my van in the winter a bad idea?
@mzrzfxr6 ай бұрын
A diesel mechanic I know said storage under 80 degrees F, out of sun and above freezing (can create condensation in freeze/thaw storage cycles and throw off the water urea ratio). Tho he said hot is worse than cold for DEF.

The manufacturer's code is also on the plastic bottle inside the box, which should match the printed code on the outside of the box, if it is legible. Mine was not legible on the box but was very clear on the bottle.
