Cleaning DEF Hose

NewB question guys. I just put cat pee in the truck for the first time and wasn’t sure how to clean the Ford fill hose. I sprayed it out pretty good with the garden hose. I figure I’ll let it dry out and then put it back in the bag it came in.

How do you guys handle your hoses after filling with cat pee?

It's cow ****. And a simple tap flush is sufficient. Best not to overthink this one. There's just no way this thread will exceed five pages. But we'll see.

What Ford fill hose???
Didn't know there was such an animal.
And, why would you need a fill hose?

I got the Ford hose but end up using the one included with the jug most of the time. When I do use the Ford hose I just wash it out with the garden hose, twirl it around a couple of times and let it sit on my work bench until dry then back in the bag for storage.
I’d try the cat and cow fluids but not sure how to train them to do it in the jug.

I think you are supposed to clean it with cat litter.

I wonder if they looked at using horse ****, especially race horses. After every race they give them a diuretic (Lasix) which causes them to pee, actually **** like a race horse. That should help take some of the demand off of cats and cows.

That's all I've got, well except for bird ****, which is the white part of bird poop, plenty of that around larger urban areas with statues. Did we make 5 pages yet?

nice thread, so is cat, cow, horse or something else.

Either way, I just rinse with tap water and let it dry and seal it in a ziplock bag.

Have been using the same one since 2013 so they are durable even if you are sending pee pee down it.

It's actually not any mammal **** of any sort. The urea is a chemical composition of ammonia and CO2. But it just seems more appropriate to just say your truck runs on cow ****.
