What is AdBlue® and which cars use AdBlue®?
Adblue® is a high purity operating fluid used in the exhaust systems of diesel-powered vehicles and equipment.
What is AdBlue® made of?
Adblue® is a colourless fluid made up of a mix of urea and deionized water.
How does AdBlue® work?
AdBlue® is stored in a tank in the vehicle, before being mixed with the vehicle exhaust gases in a ‘SCR’ or ‘Selective Catalytic Reduction’ catalyst system. Here, a chemical reaction takes place which converts the dangers Nitrous Oxides produced by the engine to harmless Nitrogen and Water, which are released by the exhaust. Hence, the AdBlue® Tank needs to be regularly filled.
How long does AdBlue® last?
How often to add AdBlue® and AdBlue® consumption varies depending on engine size, engine load, how economically the vehicle is driven, travelling terrain and outside temperature. The vehicle/piece of equipment should give plenty of advance warning if AdBlue® is running low.
What happens if you run out of AdBlue®?
The reaction that turns exhaust gases into harmless elements is important, so if you run out of AdBlue®, engine power and performance will be limited to reduce emissions. You will not be able to restart the engine without replenishing the AdBlue® tank.
What is AdBlue® used for?
As the government seeks to implement environmental legislation that improves air quality, there is an increasing number of applications for AdBlue®. AdBlue® is frequently used in passenger cars, commercial vehicles, agricultural machinery, construction machinery, power generators and the rail and marine industries.
