Is DEF readily available...

[Son_of_Diablo]

Heading to Alaska north through B.C. and the Yukon. Will I be able to find diesel exhaust fluid easily in Canada?

[nevadanick]

Canadian tire has it as well.

Hope it's not like what I found in Apache Junction this spring. I checked with 4 Walmarts in the general area and NONE of them had DEF. When I asked why two of them told me they were having troubles getting out of their DC, that and with the "great migration" of snow birds heading north all of the ones I checked at were cleaned out. I would think you'll have better luck in BC though.

Just looked -- Walmart in Dawson Creek, Walmart in Whitehourse, etc. You should be able to make it easily.

Every Wang Mart I have been to has DEF. I buy the Wang Mart brand too, no difference in brands.

UFA in Alberta carries it at the pump. This may vary by location.

I have never had an issue finding def. I usually keep a jug in my igloo as well.

DEF may be available in jugs at places, but I've been driving the Sweetgrass, MT to Alaska and return 7 times and have yet to find bulk DEF at the pump. Probably due to winter temps. Plan ahead. I have an extra 15 gal DEF tank on my Bus and fill at Shelby, MT, northbound and again southbound. I don't need to look for DEF in AK or Canada. Before I installed the tank I used to carry DEF in jugs in the basement. Big PITA.

What is your range between DEF fill-ups? I'm around 5000 miles from full to dash light on. Meaning - I could fill in NH and add in AK. If you are concerned, just leave with a full DEF tank...

[BC_Explorer]

Pretty much available everywhere in BC from major towns and cities to the multitudes of gas stations along the way. Cannot ever see finding DEF to be a problem.

[Paul_Clancy]

Sure. We even have Walmart.

I would expect it to be available anywhere that sells diesel. Most stations which cater to the general public sell it in the large jugs. Some cardlock locations focusing on commercial trucks have it at the pump, but those places are usually cardlock access.
