Then hold the fill valve open in the bottle by pushing in and putting on a hose clamp to keep it from moving and closing the valve. Just screw on the bottle onto the fill port, then slowly pour the DEF into the open slot. Do not fill the bottle completely as all the weight is being supported by the port. Also do not go too fast when the DEF tank is near full as once full and you want to remove the bottle, if any DEF is still in the bottle it will pour out when you unscrew it. Wash the bottle with water when done or any remaining DEF will crystalize.
