DEF Pronunciation

How do you pronounce DEF? I have heard "D-E-F" and "deaf".

Diesel people will respond to either. Not certain about the gassers. 😉

Whatever you do, don't call it DEF Fluid. That's like saying Diesel Exhaust Fluid Fluid...

Diesel exhaust fluid is definitely pronounced just like the first syllable in definitely when shortened to DEF.

DEF can be found in auto supplies, Wal-Marts, Home Depots, and many gas stations.
DEF fluid can be found in the department of redundancy department.
