The hose you get with that item is a generic fill hose and does not limit the amount of DEF you pour in. The Ford hose includes an internal vent tube which allows faster filling AND stops the filling at the proper level. Over-filling your DEF tank has consequences.
I save the am hoses and if someone at a campground needs one I give it to them.

This thread reminded me that I need to go visit a local Tractor Supply and buy a few of THESE as shown in the video below.

EDIT TO ADD: Just got back from Tractor supply with my new EZ-Pour spouts.

I like those & have converted all 5 of our fuel cans.
I use the large filler versions on all but on can (figure i can switch it if i want). Small filler version.

theyre still not as good as a
Square Race Jug Square Race Jug
, but they work better then the EPA nozzles which are PURE crap!

I see now that EZ Pour makes an "unleaded" extension for the large filler.

I got the standard(?) white version because that's all they had in the store today. They did have another white version with a filler tube extension (add-on filler tube which screws onto the first tube ... too long to suit my needs). These spouts allowed me to salvage a couple plastic 5-gallon fuel cans because I was on the verge of tossing them due to the troublesome EPA spouts.

Ditto. I keep one of the cheapies out of the large jug as a backup.

Another option is you can have a DEF tank delivered to your house. they come in different sizes from a 50 gal drum to a huge trailer w/ tank in it, they come self contained with a hose,pump and gal. counter. all you do is call a delivery man to come fill it back up when empty.

Here is an option. We use this syphon tube to fill our mower. Get the syphon started and it does the work for you. It will drain a 5 gallon gas quick pretty quick.

I first saw it here on this video. Fast forward to 4:22.

Since DEF has a shelf life dependent on storage temperature I would be careful about buying too large a quantity unless you really burn through a lot of it.

You used to get the filler hose with every 2.5 gallon jug from the Ford dealers. I held on to a couple so I've got an extra if I lose one. They are easy to use and cheap to buy.

Do the pumps at the truck stop that pump DEF, do the stop when the tank gets full? Like normal fuel pumps do? Or do you have to guess?

I've not filled my DEF at a Pilot / Flying J.....BUT....
I can tell you the DEF nozzle at Buc-ees DEF pump did NOT kick off when the Def Tank was full (I spilled some as a result).

The stuff looks like water when it gets on the paint (or any other surface)...but it hardens and STICKS (but still looks like a water droplet)....I figured it would blow off when I went down the road....It did not & was still on the paint when I got home 100 miles later.

I know its not good to get DEF on anything - but I did not suffer any ill effect (including paint damage or staining)....I still don't recommend ignoring it (and as they say...I WONT do that Again!)
