I ran Blue Def, Sam's and Orielly has it for 12 for 2.5 gallons.

Same here

There is a manufacturing plant here in town and from what I understand its all made the same and then shipped to the different bottling places for sale. So really any of them.should be the same.

I'm supposed to get hooked up with a 55 soon lol

I had been curious due to hearing using "off brands" from what ford uses seems to mess with sensors. But of course that could be a sales pitch to keep me down by "the man".

The thing is it needs to meet standards, i cant really imagine them making it a ton of different ways... just pee in your tank LOL

Yeah ford def is the same mixture as others.

Can't speak for Fords but we run Deer Park bottled water in our Dodges. $1.49/gal at Royal Farms.

supposedly a ford tech told one of the mechanics for one of the companies i worked for, that you could run distilled h2o.. of course there was a pause, and the tech said only in a pinch though.

I've seen several screwed up ones. Mainly from contaminated DEF would make all the O-rings swell and would throw a CEL

The one truck is pushing up on 100k with no issues. It will get deleted if it ever acts up, but so far no issues. This is on a 5500 Dodge though, don't know would happen if you tried it on a Ford...
