I've never seen a broken cap on a bottle. I don't shop at Walmart, so maybe that's it. I buy mine at my local truck stop. They go through the stuff by the pallet and I've never seen a 1 gal or 2.5 gallon jug over 2 months old. Get used to the consumption on that new truck Rich. My update fixed it a little, but it's still over a gallon per 600 miles.
Like I told the wife, it costs money to operate these things and it will cost more money if we don't maintain them properly. I honestly don't stress at all about it sucking down the def, I find comfort in knowing the system is doing it's job and working. When that gauge quits moving, i start getting nervous. I guess I get that from driving commercial. When you live in a rig, you learn and know every little thing about it and how is going to react and you start sweating bullets if the def gauge doesn't move or it doesn't heat up or you can't smell it, and it doesn't self regen itself and forcing it won't do anything, or you feal like it's losing power. Now I'm having flash backs, thanks Doug. I think I lost my mind in that rig, I know I lost my back and bowels. TMI, I know. . The only thing that was worse than worrying about that dang regen system was the drive cam recording system. My wife said i wouldn't have to worry about it if i followed the rules, like I told her , we don't have all this stuff in our lives from me following the rules. Ok, I'm getting off topic
