I understand or have been told when in a pinch you can substitute urine. guess I won't be stopping at reststops any more and the truckers bottle bombs will be a thing of the past.

Hmmm. Jdub just got a 2011, I drove it at the Hanger Fest and I don't recall any of that.

Our new 2010 Mercedes Sprinter passnger van aka Airstream tower, has the Urea. However, Mercedes gives you 20 starts of running the engine when the Urea is low then out. On the 21st start, it won't. They say under normal non-torcherous driving one doesn't have to refill the Urea for 10,000 miles. Just fill it when you get your oil changed. Heavier service will reduce the distance. UPS says they are refilling at 7500 mile intervals.

We have owned every kind of Prevost shell but an H3-40
Our 2011 X5 has Urea injection, it's a non issue. BMW refills the reservoir when we take the car for regularly scheduled maintenance, and I've seen urea available at some truck stops. Makes for a very clean running diesel! Our average mileage so far is a bit less than 30, very happy with it.

Tool Man,
Just curious, what's that diesel exhaust pee cost when it's time to refill?
Not a tool and not a manbut the price of urea at Pilot is $2.79/gallon.

Yep the new truck has DEF and I'm pretty sure it is part of the reason it gets 3 mpg better than the 2008.
