When filling DEF Tank (-0) with Plastic bottles it’s possible to freeze the fill tube solid.

Do NOT over fill Tank, Again the Tube can freeze Solid when idle for even a short period of time in -0 Temps.

What’s happening with towing in -0 temps its possible to use 1 Gallon Per 200-250 miles, after long hauls you will need to refill and the tube (May) be frozen solid not allowing to be filled.

This extreme cold that has over taken much of northern cold States will be lasting until 2-19-21. So Becarfeul. Filling off Retail Pumps may cause the fill tube to become frozen also, It rarely happens until you overfill and sits for hrs in -0F Temps
