DEF at fuel stops

Will be heading south starting next weekend. This will be my first trip with the new coach that needs DEF. Does anyone know which fuel stops along I95(Petro, Flying J, Loves, etc) have DEF pumps and are they accessible for RV's? The DEF tank on my Forest River Berkshire is in a compartment where the door lifts upward. Looks like it would be a real hassle to try to pour DEF into the tank from a container.
Thanks.

  • Here is a easy DEF calculator.

    Looks like I get 1K+ miles on a DEF fill. Between 8.5 and 10 mpg on diesel.

    Good Luck!


    I don't understand 1K miles per DEF fillup. How big is your DEF tank?

    My coach has a 10 gallon DEF tank and that will take me close to 3K miles. I use about 2.5 gallons of DEF for every 100 gallons of diesel fuel, or about 1 Gal DEF for each 40 gals diesel.
