X2. What I do is let it air dry after I've washed it out with clean water, then put it back in the bag. Sometimes while traveling you can't do that, but I have one at home that I swap out each time I need it on the road.

DEF is 99% water. If it's clean your good to go.

rinse mine as well. I put mine in a Ziploc zipper bag. I let it air dry first. If you use the ford spout there won't be any spillage or overfill.

I do the same - I do make sure it's completely dry before stuffing it in the bag

You can use the one that comes with the box of Blue or the Super Tech brand from Walmart. The Ford nozzle looks the same but has a check valve that prevents over filling. I've had the Ford nozzle for 2 years and haven't unwrapped it yet because I've had no problem with the others.
