Go to truck stop and get it for $2 a gallon at the pump.
Sounds like a scam. "Our pump is broken, buy this expensive stuff instead."Depending on your area and density of truck stops. I'd call the truck stop first to see if their DEF pump is working, drove a few miles out of my way only to be let down by a broken pump. I also wasn't swayed by their killer sale price of $20 for 2.5 gal cubes they were kind enough to offer me.
A friend of mine is a long haul trucker and he says they use A LOT of DEF. He has to fill it almost daily.You mean the DEF itself only lasts for 4 diesel fuel fills.
5 gallons is only 2 cubes. That is what I put in my Beetle recently. Not a problem at all. The semi's I think are 30 to 50 gallons. That would be a little more cumbersome. A pump would be a blessing there.
Not everything is a scam or conspiracy. Sometimes the simple truth is at play as well. If the pump was broken offering what they had wasn't unusual either. I doubt semis fill using the cubes much.
DEF pumps are becoming far more common..It's a Pilot, again its the only shop in town other than a tourist trap actually on 93.
They only have one DEF pump island serving two lanes, of a 8 lane filling station. In about 7K miles more we'll prob need more DEF and I'll give them a call to see if they fixed the pump.
8-10mpg sounds excellent @80,000# There are plenty of diesel pickups pulling 15,000 pound trailers getting about the same mpg.I have about 500,000 miles in heavy trucks...
About 200,000 was running trucks that used DEF...TWO different trucks actually....
One had a small def tank and two 80 gallon disel tank...needed to fill the DEF EVERY 4TH FILL, smallest tank you could have installed for that year, was to limit the empty weight (some contracts require a maximum weight, fulley fueled to maximize load carrying), cause we hauled lots of beer/water. The second truck had a pair of 100 gallon tanks (some had 125) and a much larger def tank, think it was about 35 gallon's, a bit more than 2x the size if the same one...
Both trucks had DD13 engines and the same tranny's/final drive ratio...
Both trucks could get 8-10 MPG at 80,000 if driven well at 63 mph, depending on winds, seasons, and traffic and terrain.
Minimizing the gap between the cab and the trailer is very important...then having the top fairings match the trailer...the pickup guys are make huge amounts of drag..8-10mpg sounds excellent @80,000# There are plenty of diesel pickups pulling 15,000 pound trailers getting about the same mpg.
