TucsonJim, H13's DEF tank is on the passenger side in a bay. He would have to pull in backwards to fill his tank.
Ours happens to be with the fuel fill on the driver's side but the previous chassis's were like H13's, on the passenger side. That was before the fuel stations realized that they would offer DEF at the pumps. I guess they thought everyone would buy it by the gallon jug.
The problem that we have is that the DEF tank pump handle is VERY sensitive. My arm gets tired holding the pump handle 'just right' so that it doesn't constantly click off. When I fill up our DEF tank, it clicks off and then I notice that the over-flow will leak a little bit.
So, I've decided to just put in a few gallons at every fill up and not fill the tank all the way. My frustration will be less as the DEF tank is rather slow to fill. Our DEF tank holds 16 gallons.
