Stuff people have put in a DEF Tank

So true. So sad. But in the slightest defense, I had no idea what this did in the new shop truck.

What's this? The old " How do you keep an idiot in suspense? I'll tell you in the morning."

I think it is the automatic ejection seat button.......

Ahhh, the ol ID10T test huh.
Whelp, where that button is kinda hard to see, and all I saw was that "puff" I thought it was a "smart switch" to do a regen. It's actually the exhaust brake.

I can see that now, the two outside half circles are the symbol for brakes! I always wondered how these universal symbol are to be understood for the common working man on heavy equipment? When I was in vehicle design there was a team at general offices that were responsible for the universal symbols we used on the tractors that we designed. Some of the ones that they came up with seem totally off the wall to me.

Fart containment and noise suppressor.......with pilot light it would be fart igniter.....

This symbol is far more common for Engine Brake in my world...

The best way to avoid putting the wrong stuff in the DEF tank is to delete it.

This was posted on another Forum earlier tonight.

"...I was getting the washer fluid light on the dash and put some more in, but it was only one circle down from max. Figured the lines were frozen or something. Got a tiny sputter onto the hood this morning and can hear the motor going strong....wanted thoughts on troubleshooting?"

He added washer fluid in the radiator reservoir.

I have a 2017 3500 4x4 with 6 spd manual / the DEF filler is right next to the diesel fill hole...

ArizonaShrink- I bought caps that said DEF and Diesel. Don't use the DEF one anymore for obvious reasons. Also I always tried to buy BlueDef. Blue to blue.
