    All out fire trucks use it
    These liberals might have to wait until we get our horses and buggies hooked up before we can come help

      Here’s a video that explains the upcoming shortage, and this video was put out just a few hours ago.

        This! I have a good friend in the business and he always told me make sure you buy your DEF from a place that has a high turnover rate. And don't buy more than you need. That aged stuff crystalizes and will screw up your system.

          Guberment thinking:

          Fossil fuel is bad… use this and you will burn 1/3 to 1/2 more… but it’s not in black smoke form so it saves the planet forever

          We spend extra to have clear pollution and China is burning tires to make your nikes… BUT luckily that pollution in the air stays over there

            All the DEF Ive used, the spillage and remenants in the corrugated tube, has turned to crystals within several minutes of hitting air. Imagine what happens in the DEF tank and fill tube as its being transferred and exposed to air…with a fresh batch…crystallization. Im going to check my stashed jugs, only two, for expiration dates. The jugs Ive been sitting on for a couple months are still liquid, still clear and not crystallized. Ill continue to use one jug at a time with several in reserve.

            Anyone remember the gas shortage on a Thursday last year.

            I believe leftist Marxist revolutionists are infecting this inflammatory information… into conservative public… same as Thursday, last year.

            Light the match and watch them burn themselves….said some Marxist.

            Dont be sheeple.

                      No surprise, since DEF is made from urea, and guess where much of the world's urea supply comes from. Same issue with fertilizer. FJB will blame it on Russia.

                        So where does Union Pacific fit into this equation and why would they be limiting Flying J on its shipments of DEF?

                          DEF gets transported primarily by railroads, and Union Pacific is having a lot of labor problems due to some poor choices of their leadership. So they are trying to decrease what they are transporting. Unfortunately, Flying J sells a very large amount of DEF and diesel in this country so cutting back on what they sell is only going to hurt our supply chain even more.

                            If Id had my tin foil hat on I would say it looks like they are attacking the combustible engine from all fronts....as we go through this "Transition Phase" here in the U.S. per Bidens comments earlier this week.
