ADBLUE®

Helpful tips for using AdBlue® Correctly

• Do not use your vechicle without AdBlue®!
• AdBlue® is a highly corrosive substance, so only use tools and equipment guaranteed to suit the purpose when storing and filling it
• Ensure that storage temperature is between -10C and +30C year round; AdBlue® will freeze below and start to decompose intensively above, these limits
• Take care to prevent contaminants, water, fuel, dust, etc. from entering AdBlue®, because this may result in malfunction of the SCR system’s elements.

No, AdBlue® feed operates as a stand-alone system. AdBlue® must not be mixed with fuel.

Will use of AdBlue® reduce fuel consumption?
Yes, indirectly. Diesel engines requiring SCR technology are low consumption by design, i.e. their power efficiency is good.

How long can I keep AdBlue®?
It can be used for 12 months after opening the storage container and as long as suitable storage criteria are adhered to.

Is AdBlue® a hazardous material?
No. AdBlue® additive is a colourless, water-like liquid with a slight ammonium smell. It is non-toxic, non-hazardous and non-inflammable.
