Peak DEF

[pwr2tow]

The internet use to run rampant with contaminated DEF and contaminated fuel until the dealerships started getting called out on it. Now you rarely see it. Just saying!!!

For those interested , ran across Peak DEF at Costco today for 9.99 per jug. Date was 21359, just a month old . Now if the Mopar fuel filters would go on sale again on Amazon for $70-75 for the pair , its been like what a couple years since ??

Thats Great! The Costco's around me dont stock DEF, Im in southern Ca and went to the Montclair and the Victorville stores........ I better inform them to start stocking it!

A special trip to buy DEF just does not make sense. When my gauge gets to 1/2 the next time I am near a WalMart I drop in and buy a box of Peak Blue DEF putting it in right there in the parking lot and let them recycle the box. I look at the date codes of the boxes on the shelf. When traveling with the trailer there are WalMart signs along all of the interstates. In 4.5 years and 63K miles I have never used a pump.

Thats the first time I have seen it at Costco, killing some time waiting for a prescription to be filled , ran across it.
Not sure if they are always going to carry it.

I've seen it at Sam's Club, but never at Costco. However, Costco started carrying Kirkland brand full synthetic 5w 30 motor oil. I wasn't sure if they were going to continue to carry it. So I picked up four cases, if I recall it worked out to about $12 per gallon. I'll use it in the cars.

Not saying a bad batch of packaged DEF is impossible, but the stuff is made in large batches, so, tampering and date code aside, there would be a ton of people with issues from that batch. Like when we were in the paint business, Benjamin Moore's Newark plant had a batch capacity of 10,000 gallons. Someone who had not followed instructions, and/or completely skipped the cleaning and prep stage would come in saying, "I got a bad gallon of paint!". Well, what about the rest of that pallet we sold, and the multiple trailer loads Moores sold out of the same batch with ZERO issues??? GMAB

The odds are probably about the same as that bad batch they dumped in truck stop underground tank .

I was initially suspicious of pumps. But i now use DEF pumps whenever i am near a truck stop and need DEF. First time i didn't know about the magnet shut off and was confused. Now i have the magnet collar and have little trouble with the pumps

I had never heard of a magnet collar so I just looked it up. Sounds like they are rarely used.

I know I’ve never needed one.

...While on the subject of truck stops ,lets go off topic . What are the thoughts on the EFS fuel cards for discounted diesel ?? Not sure I have ever seen them discussed here on this forum ,although several RV forums have had threads on them .

I got my EFS card in the mail last week. It's through TSD Logistics and is good at Loves, TA/Petro, Pilot, Flying J, Sapp Brothers, and Road Ranger. TSD keeps 10% of the savings for the service. I drove to Georgia yesterday and used it for the first time. Listed price was $2.69, I paid 2.19. This was at a TA in Spartanburg, SC. I wished I had a bigger tank. Diesel is $3+ where I live.

Nice, I have one coming, pretty much the same discount that I have been reading on the other forums. There is the school of thought about giving out your SS # as well as your banking account . But as many know as far as the banking thing, many people pay automatically out of their checking account, this is no different . Also many open a separate account , and just put in enough funds to cover the fuel costs or bills being paid .

I had trouble at a loves near Cartersville, Ga. That's where I learned about the magnet safety. I gave up and bought PEAK inside.

Also a Mobile in AZ not far from the NM border. I had the magnet collar and used it when it wouldn't pump.

Some don't have the safety magnet feature.

My magnet collar is in the door pocket of the drivers side rear door. Never used it! However I have it if I every use a pump that needs it. SnoKing

Well you learn something new everyday, I looked up that magnet collar, I take it you slide it up the filler neck?

Yep. And remember to take it off when done. SnoKing

Supertech DEF is always on sale at Walmart.....never seen it cheaper (other than at the pump).

I would implore anyone to find any differences between brands that are certified to the standard. It is not a complex mixture.

 

[jacknife]

Its all the same stuff made in a few places . Buy the cheapest and freshest you can . Peak was the first out there it isn't any better than Wally World , Autozone ,Napa or any other brand .

What % of list price do you pay using EFS?

Its seems to vary depending on which truck stop, and they get 10% of your savings. So if its .50 savings you get .45
