Tracking DEF use

Has anyone figured out how to track DEF usage using Fuelly?

BTW: DEF was required for Diesel Vehicles with the 2011 Model year.

You can track it as a note. That will cover cost and odometer reading. It will add the cost to the per mile figure. I think you'll have to track the volume per mile yourself if that's the goal.

Why not create a second record for your vehicle and instead of fuel make the adblue the fuel record. Just a thought

That would throw off the site's fuel data for the model.

I just bought a new 2017 Dodge RAM 2500 (w/DEF) replace my 2008 Dodge RAM 3500 (non-DEF). I need to track cost per mile and adding this to the fill up page would be a nice feature that I requested. In the meantime, I Have created a separate vehicle call Def-Dodge and I enter only my DEF information there (mileage, gallons, cost)

To see cost per mile I just go to statistics, search and select both dodge vehicles and the accurate cost per mile will show.

That works for you, but obviously it's going to screw the averages for every other vehicle of the same type. That almost 300 MPG will be added to all the Dodge Rams of that type.

On the Dashboard page, just under the add a fuel up button, is a button to add a note.
You use note to track DEF use and other items. It includes cost and odometer reading.

Fuelly needs to isolate this category or make a new one that doesn't skew the mileage results for other fuels for the same vehicle.

I track DEF as a vehicle using fuel Category: Other Type: DEF that I added and it seems many others track DEEF but are using Category Gas or Diesel.

Doing this doesn't cause my data to throw off MPG for other Diesel or Gas, it only seems to affect the "all" group. Sadly there are obviously others that are doing it (wrong) and using a vehicle to track DEF but must be selecting Gas or Diesel. I can see the 350+MPG records of others in Fuelly even filtered on several of the Diesel or Gas selections.
