Diesel Exhaust Fluid 2.5 Gal

BlueDEF two-and-a-half-gallon SCR refill

BlueDEF diesel exhaust fluid in the 2.5-gallon jug supports SCR-equipped Class 8 engines that consume DEF during normal operation. The DEF002 product code on packaging helps receivers match jugs to PO lines when drivers pick up refills at the parts counter.

Price is $12.99 USD before tax. Published weight is 23.0 lb for the filled jug, heavy enough that stacking multiple jugs affects parcel rating. Plan hand trucks for warehouse moves.

DEF purity and freeze storage

DEF crystallizes when exposed to hard freezes; store jugs indoors above the freeze line your warehouse sees in winter. Thawed jugs that were frozen need inspection for separation or contamination before pour.

Keep caps sealed until use; dust in an open jug raises SCR dosing faults. Dedicated DEF equipment beats funnels shared with coolant or oil.

• Rinse DEF tank fill neck area before opening cap on the truck.
• Do not add water to stretch DEF; SCR systems detect dilution.
• Wipe spills; DEF is corrosive to some painted surfaces.
• Log refill dates when fleet monitors consumption spikes.

SCR-equipped Class 8 context

Fitment language on this card describes SCR-equipped Class 8 engines broadly rather than a single make table. DEF consumption varies by duty cycle; monitor dash warnings and tank level trends.

Confirm the truck uses DEF before purchase; older non-SCR hardware does not need this fluid. We describe the product size and chemistry class; you confirm SCR architecture on the VIN.

Email dash messages and VIN to support@aonetruckauto.com. Link other fluids on the fitment guide.

BlueDEF jug identification

Vendor bags may show the jug code on the label. Cart fulfillment uses SKU BLU-DEF-25 at the listed price for the 2.5-gallon size.

Handling weight in the shop

Twenty-three pounds per jug is awkward on a fuel island carry. Use carts and store upright to avoid seam stress.

Returns and shipping

Opened DEF may be non-returnable per returns and refunds. Read before stocking seasonal pallets.

SCR dosing and consumption

High idle and urban duty cycles burn DEF faster than steady interstate cruise. Teach drivers to treat DEF level like fuel on SCR units.

Contaminated DEF triggers derates; never use funnels that touched other fluids. Dedicated jugs and nozzles belong in shop SOP.

Freeze-thaw warehouse rules

Northern terminals need indoor storage above crystallization temperature for 23-pound jugs. Plan dolly paths from storage to fuel island without tipping.

Price and weight planning

At $12.99 the fluid is inexpensive; freight on heavy jugs is not. Consolidate orders per shipping policy when buying multiple 2.5-gallon units.

DEF quality faults on dash

SCR derates from quality issues show specific messages on many dashboards. Capture screenshots before clearing codes so parts and maintenance can correlate consumption logs.

Tank caps left open invite rain dilution on yard trucks. Include cap inspection on pre-trip when units sit outside.

Heavy jug ergonomics

Twenty-three pounds is below many lifting limits alone but repetitive lifts strain backs during busy mornings. Rotate staff or use two-person lifts when policy requires.

Inventory next to diesel

Store DEF away from diesel spill areas; contamination paths start with shared absorbent bins and reused funnels despite good intentions.

Track jugs by delivery date when turnover is slow; older sealed jugs still deserve visual check for jug distortion before sale.

When drivers buy at the counter, remind them upright transport in cab storage prevents seep under caps on rough haul roads.

Terminal DEF discipline

Assign DEF jugs their own milk crate away from washer fluid and coolant. Cross-contamination starts when a hurried tech grabs the nearest funnel. Label the crate with the SKU you stock so night inventory matches day receipts.

When SCR units sit between hauls, DEF crystallizes in lines if tanks run empty in freezing yards. Train dispatch to release trucks only after level checks when forecasts show overnight lows your region actually hits.

Drivers who mix roadside jugs from unknown brands create quality faults; standardize on one supplier line per fleet when possible and log lot numbers during warranty talks.

At $12.99 and 23.0 lb, a single jug is deceptively heavy for new hires; include DEF lifts in onboarding ergonomics like any other shop task.

PayPal checkout multiplies the card price by quantity; heavy multi-jug orders may need freight review on the shipping policy before you promise a dock date to a customer.

Consumption logging

Fleets that log DEF liters per mile catch injector issues early when consumption jumps without route changes. Teach dispatch to note DEF level at pickup and drop so maintenance sees trends.

Shop copies of delivery tickets for the jug code jugs help reconcile inventory shrink when drivers borrow jugs without paperwork.

Winter storage above freeze protects the 2.5-gallon container integrity; swollen jugs from repeated freeze cycles belong out of saleable stock.

Counter sales

When selling the shelf SKU at the parts window, confirm SCR architecture verbally so non-DEF trucks do not leave with jugs that will never enter the tank. Receipts should show the jug code for accounting alignment.
