What funnel do you use to fill the DEF tank?
Just wondering what others are using to pour in the DEF. I have arthritis in my wrists, so I need to use both hands to hold the jug of DEF. Does anyone have a funnel they can recommend that can sit independently in the tank / reservoir opening while I pour in the DEF?
Also, I've already looked into truck stops with DEF pumps, but there are not any near me. So that is not an option. Thank you! |
I use a transmission funnel. It fits in the filler neck perfect and allows for a quick fill with no spills.
|
If you buy the 2.5 gallon jugs they come with a hose that fits right inside the neck.
|
Go to the dealer and buy the Ford special-purpose filling hose. It has a vent tube which allows easy filling without over-filling. I paid less than $7 with tax for mine.

+1. I bought that same filling hose from Amazon. The vent also speeds up the filling process, so you don't have to hold the jug up so long.
|
I don't know if you have any larger truck stops near by, but I typically just go through the truck fuel lane and get DEF at the pump.
|
I also go to the pumps, I hated using the jugs.
|
If you use a funnel be careful not to fill it to the top if you live in a cold climate. It needs some room to expand when it freezes.

Thanks so much, everyone! I appreciate the time you all took to respond to my post and help me out.
I will pick up one of those Ford nozzles for the DEF. I didn't even know they existed. Great info! |
