Doesnt taste like it! I had to remove a supply hose today while converting an F-650 from 2wd to 4wd...taste like brake fluid!
$8 a gallon??? If you dont mind discrete jugs I may have a "few" gallons cheap ;)

IDK if we have it at the dealership yet. I could find out my price on the stuff.
i know a few companys went back in and changed programming so it will still run without it. i believe BMW and Benz did this, not sure who else
we now have it in stock at napa btw
My touareg won't run if I run it dry. But it gives a bunch of warnings. It has a 4 gal tank (give or take) and on average gets over 5,000 miles on that tank. Depends on the driving habits and quality of fuel. I carry a half gallon jug around with me because I'm paranoid.
I know the VW system is smart enough to know if you just fill it with water/something other than the 'adBlue' urea fluid.
I was about to ask you the same thing.
I ordered a few gallons to be safe. I keep in the back of the cab so it wont freeze during the winter if I am traveling out of state. I have been getting Motorcraft DEF for around 8 bucks a gallon. I like that brand since it comes with a tube that will pevent overfilling and seals well to tank opening.
It uses about 5 gallons per Oil Change. And that is running to the factory specs of 7500 miles. However I have to change mine around 5000 miles. Work mandate and found a dealership that will work with my fleet. So its all good.
It does smell funny around the tailpipe when its running.:rolf
In converting some brand new 2wd F-750's to 4wd and I have to relocate an elaborats urea/cat system, quick connect hose to the sprayer likes to give you a little courtesy squirt when unhooked :)

We carry it at ford . $7 gallon 15 for 2.5 gallon jugs retail
Its a NOx filter. It is indeed derived from pig urine. Not all but most diesels nowadays have it, depends if they can meet the standard without it. When it was first being developed it was talked about being so prevalent that it would be at the diesel pump right next to the diesel...
Funny side note, the diesels like the Mercedes that are called a version of "Blu" like "Blutech" is because "Blu" is German for the Urea I beleive.
There is a BP in Kenosha that has a pump. I know this because we had a truck towed in, he put the nozzle in the wrong filler and had 10 gallons of DEF in his diesel tank before he realized it
Its sad that EPA is going after all the tuners that have programmers that will delete the system.
From what I have heard, my mileage will jump 3 MPG when I delete it.........
But at the risk of my warrantee going away I will let someone else try it.
