I’ve been watching van content for a few years and never heard anyone mention this topic before. Good thing I’ve got a 2006 and not needed it I guess. Congrats on the original content 🚐👏🏼
Wish you would have covered how to empty the DEF tank. RV's usually sit idle for months, sometimes years, so any DEF in the tank is going to go bad. Draining that expired crap and refilling with fresh DEF before hitting the road is a must, unless you want to get stranded in the middle of nowhere.
We had a driver grab one of these jugs by mistake thinking it was antifreeze. It literally melted the truck, caused about $20,000 worth of damage 😆 So don’t use def in the radiator lol
I had an idea for a future video - I would love to see an audio system with an amp, a sub, and speaker upgrades. The sprinter has a horrible sound system and I need to upgrade it and would love to know where to start
Wow, I didn't realize your def tank is only 2.5, ours is ~6 gal. I fill about every 1/2 oil change interval. P.s. I think thw plastic can be just recycled, I mean, it is recyclable plastic and the contents is meant to be burned to improve emissions. Makes sense? But that's not an official answer.
You make it sound like you're "changing" the DEF like you would change your oil: out with the old in with the new. Rather than topping up like you would your radiator or your windshield washer. Semantics, I know.
I wonder which legislators/EP regulators had friends or family who owns stock in DEF manufacturing concerns. Then, how much money they made when they turned this mandatory DEF thing into a federal law, and forced all the newer diesels to buy and use it. Probably a lot of money, is my guess. It's also probably the real reason why it exists, despite all the environmental rhetoric made trying to justify it.
Anytime i have to fill the DEF on my work truck it always leeks out splashing on my shoes. Then i have white stuff on my shoes the rest of day and I feel like I pissed on my shoes 😁
Just delete it and move to the sticks where “they” don’t have emissions testing and then you can forsake all those boxes bottles and just drive the dam van lol
Here's an idea ,go to a def pump and refill empty container for next fill

I'm LOVING the analog graphics.
I always like going practical when I can!
You make really great build videos. It’s very educational.
Well you make great videos in general!
Thanks for watching them!
Good idea for a series to upload in a pinch! Looking forward to the next one 😃
I this this idea a lot. Quick tips, hacks, and camping accessories are always an appreciated video. 👍
This is a cool segment! I dont have a car with a diesel engine but I think it's important to learn about the cars we drive or may drive!
Quick tips are always handy!

Love the visuals!
Ask your town when they will have a hazardous waste disposal day? It is normally free for residents. Love your vids .
Love the animation
Good explanation too

So don’t use def in the radiator lol
The last time I had a diesel was in the 80’s. Diesel got complicated. Hope someone posts a solution for the container. 🌿🌀🐾💗
Good stuff!
Lmao the attempts with the cap killed me
The sucker was on there good!
Had no idea! Thanks!
DEF is sometimes called adblue. Where I live gas stations take the empty bottles for free. So I can buy it, fill my tank and throw it away.
👍
I only know def jam🔥🔥🔥 cheers'n'cheese

use the empty tank for a pee when camping. some people run a hose to outside of van to collect then dump later
Good idea!

It might be larger. I'm going to need to look into that.
👍👍👍
Through the video I can hear Brad Pitt screaming “What’s in the box?! What’s in the bawwwwks?!!!”. I’ll see myself out.
Drivers at my part time job leaked DEF into the shop . Yeah, I mopped it up. I think it smells like pee 🤣😂. I had to throw the mop head away.

Good point, I'll have to change up the title
hello can i contact with you about cooperation

The title "How To Change The DEF In Your Mercedes Sprinter" doesn't make sense, you don't CHANGE the def.
You're right, I need to reword it!
