The DEF pump at the truck stop has a special nozzle on the end (magnetic interlock) and it will not open unless it is properly inserted into the neck of the DEF tank. It's suppose to keep someone from pumping DEF into the fuel tank.
Our DEF storage tank in heated and the nozzle is inside a compartment to keep it warm.
The "magnetic" nozzles are only at some stations in some parts of the country. Loves seems to be big on them, while I've never seen one at any of the Pilot/FlyingJ's that I have used. The company linked below sells the magnets at a reasonable price. I carry one "just in case" because my tank is on the passenger side and I need to fill a portable plastic container.
