Thanks Epic...this will be my first diesel truck so I haven't seen how the bottles are set up or had to fill a DEF tank as of yet.

It's really no big deal and you'll be glad for this type of DEF fill vs. a GM fill. On the GM you have to lift the heavy jugs up to a fill point in the engine compartment. What a pain that would be. With the Ford fill it's all at waist height and easy to do. These types of jugs became common place in early 2011. Before then I would buy DEF in the 1 gallon coolant style jugs and did have to use a funnel. The easiest is the fill handle at truck stops and I've done that a few times. It's only been in the last couple of weeks that I heard of people having trouble with the quality of DEF.
