I don't think that the savings are worth the risks of contamination on a pickup sized rig. Contaminated DEF will make the truck throw a code, and cause a trip to the dealer. I would rather pay for the sealed jug at Walmart, NAPA etc. 22.00 for 5-6 thousand miles isn't the end of the world.

:h..I'd much rather pay $2.89 a gallon as opposed to $5.50-$7.00 plus a gallon and mine is at a truck stop, each diesel island has the Blue Def pump..as stated, no big deal, took cap off, pumped in two gallons and that was over 2400 miles ago...no problems, no issues...I will keep paying the lesser amount as long as I can. I do have a 2.5 gallon jug "just in case", but don't see any reason in paying an inflated price, and haven't heard about "contaminated" DEF anywhere..heck, I've heard more about diesel being contaminated with water than I've heard about pumping bad DEF.

Just on the last page you stated a little over 11.00 for 2.5 gallons....About 4.40 a gallon.

Has hyper inflation suddenly kicked in? Hyper inflation DEF

I've purchased ONE, (1) jug (2.5 gallons) of Blue Def for $11.00...I've looked around at more than several places and seen it priced from $11 to $14 for a 2.5 gallon jug....I have topped off my tank one time at a truck stop, (very clean DEF dispensing station I might add, or I wouldn't have gotten it there)....$2.89 a gallon and it was as easy as could be to do it...no big deal at all..

I DID read my owners manual, something "I've" personally done for years on end when purchasing a new vehicle and no where did it say to "steer clear" of filling stations that dispense DEF and NOT to use these stations..so that part of your point I don't understand..I really wasn't born yesterday... To each his own, IF I get some bad DEF, I will report it, but having been to this one and only one filling station and having put over 2500 miles on my truck since I put two gallons in, then guess it was ok and I paid $5.78 to do it and so far all is well.

More and more Filling stations are starting to dispense DEF at their establishments, I will try to get the best deal I can when purchasing DEF....I'v'e also heard of some purchasing the 2.5 galllon jug of DEF and it was bad....so what are you going to do then....you say it's possibly bad at the pump and I've also read where some was bad out of a brand new jug that was bought off the shelf.??
