Flying J/Def fluid pump

[JerryandSusie]

Does Flying J have a DEF fluid pump at the RV island?

[Campinfan]

I get my fuel when pulling my trailer at Pilot or Flying J where it is easy to use the pumps but it is more expensive. West of Ann Arbor on I-94, Pilot can be 15 to 20 cents more than Marathon a couple miles west of their. The other day it was $.20. Also, going to Florida in December, it was always more expensive in Ohio/Kentucky area compared to places called Fuelman. The Pilot and Flying J on Baker Rd west of Ann Arbor used to be the same price as all the other places (even for regular) but the last couple years has always been higher.

The Flying J nearest to me in Ontario can be between 5 and 10 cents or more higher per litre than nearby regular gas stations. That's significant.
As for the problems you have navigating smaller less expensive stations, sorry but I can't help you there.

I do know the Husky truck stop down the 401 from the London PFJ recently added bulk DEF to their regular commuter pump island lanes. Sorry, I know that doesn't help the OP, unless you're traveling in Canada. Husky fuels are big in western Canada, if that helps at all? When Suncor recently merged (bought) with Petro Canada, they sold off some of the surplus stations to Husky and others. I believe that Husky truck stop may have been one of them, or it might have been the old 5th Wheel, when they went belly up a while back. I can't recall.

Please show me a map where Pilot is significantly more expensive than any station within 3 miles of the highway. I've driven in 42 states now, always use gasbuddy or google maps to check fuel prices, and Pilot is always within pennies of any station that isn't more than 10 minutes off my route. They also are generally laid out is a manner that is conducive to getting a truck and trailer through with minimal fuss. I always hear this Pilot is so expensive whine on forums but I've never seen any proof to back it up.

The main reason is cost. Bulk at stations is about half the cost of buying the jugs

many along I-95 do have bulk DEF, but you can always check on their app or Web Page

If you can go 2,500 miles on a standard 2.5 gallon jug why would it matter if it's in a pump at a fuel stop?

Tractor-trailers are a different animal.....

It matters to me or I wouldn't have asked.

Not yet, at the nearest one to me, in Ontario. Not familiar with the other 3 or 4 locations.
I see stacks of it in the 2.5Gal jugs inside the store. $20 for one, buy two for $35. If you go through it that fast.:E

I have never seen one, but I haven’t been to all their stations. Sure would be great if they did.
