Ablue tank level problems

Anyone having an issue with the level in the adblue tank. Had to bring the truck back to the dealer a second time since may for a check ad blue level. I topped off the tank at the end of may. They updated the computer and reset the level indicator the first time.

There is a software update that is supposed to take care of this issue. I had it done and so far so good.

And for future reference..."AdBlue"..generic name:diesel exhaust fluid ("DEF")...needn't be a big deal.Yes,there seem to be some malfunctions connected to the sytem but the periodic refilling of the tank is a piece of cake (I did it on my BMW).My Bluetec just reached 18K miles and my "add fluid" warning just came on about 200 miles ago.At least 80% of my miles are interstate miles so that could affect usage per mile.And DEF can be bought for about $12 per 2.5 gallon jug and,given that my tank takes about 6 gallons that comes out to about $30 per 19K miles.

Just be careful not to spill it. It really makes a mess of the paint.
