CleanAirBlue Adblue 20L Can With Spout

Product Information

Thankfully, topping up the AdBlue reservoir is easy and cheap. Our Halfords AdBlue 10l includes all the fluid you need and comes with a handy pouring spout to make refilling a doddle. AdBlue® is a diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) mixture used in all heavy-duty diesel engines produced after January 1st, 2010 and most commercial vehicle and car diesel engines made after September 2015 – primarily Euro 6-compliant models. AdBlue® is not a fuel additive as it’s added to the exhaust gas after combustion has taken place. If you own a diesel, chances are you need to use AdBlue® – a diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) used in millions of cars, light commercial vehicles, HGVs, buses and coaches across the world. But what is it, what does it do, what is it made of, how does it work and how do you best use it to ensure your car performs efficiently and safely? Read on to learn more and have all your AdBlue® questions explained. The price of AdBlue for a UK business isn’t just the price of the diesel exhaust fluid itself. The cost will depend on your fleet and its consumption will depend on your vehicles and their usage.

If driving in exceptionally cold conditions, it can be a good idea to keep a bottle of liquid AdBlue® in your vehicle to top up the tank in case of freezing – automatic warming systems can take up to 20 minutes to thaw frozen AdBlue® tanks. You may be asking ‘what’s AdBlue and why do I need it?” AdBlue is a special liquid that’s sprayed into diesel car exhausts to reduce the amount of harmful gases released into the environment by diesel engines. Unlike diesel or petrol it is not injected into the engine,instead it is released into part of the vehicle’s exhaust. When heated in the exhaust, it decomposes into ammonia and CO₂. The NOx from the engine exhaust reacts inside the catalyst with the ammonia and the harmful NOx molecules in the exhaust are converted to harmless nitrogen. In fact, AdBlue® can reduce your NOx emissions by up to 90%!The cost of AdBlue fluctuates due to the cost of the raw products that make up the solution; urea and water. There are no active urea processing plants in the UK which increases demand and therefore price. Buying in bulk means you can avoid any sudden price increases as a result of raw materials. Benefits of AdBlue AdBlue® works alongside vehicle engine selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) exhaust emissions. Vehicles that use the active emissions control technology can usually be identified by the use of ‘SCR’ or ‘Blue’ in their model names. If you suspect AdBlue contamination, you must not use the solution and dispose of safely as it can damage your engines AdBlue® is generally considered to reduce NOx emissions by over 90%, making it a crucial tool for improving air quality and combatting environmental issues. Remember to include these additional costs when looking at AdBlue from various suppliers. How long does AdBlue last and how do I store it?

It’s completely safe to handle, easy to store and non-flammable. How do I keep my AdBlue clean and safe? The standards will especially affect standards for diesel driven vehicles, requiring further reduction of NOx and Hydrocarbon emissions. As a result of this, SCR technology and AdBlue will become vital to meeting the Euro6 standards.

What is the price of AdBlue per litre?

When your SCR-equipped vehicle’s AdBlue levels are running low, a warning alert will appear on the dashboard. If it runs out of completely, the car will lose power and reduce its emission in line with legal standards. Its performance will be returned when its AdBlue tank has been replenished. AdBlue is widely available throughout the UK, however, varies in price significantly. Nationwide Fuels is a nationwide competitive supplier of high-quality AdBlue, which you can buy in quantities from 10-litres up to 36,000 litres and more. Make sure your fleet of vehicles is safe, legal and helping the environment. AdBlue works through a process called selective catalytic reduction (SCR). Before any emissions are released, the solution is sprayed finely into a diesel exhaust at a proportion roughly equal to 5% of the diesel fuel. AdBlue solution has been specifically designed for use with diesel engines and is used in addition to Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology to reduce harmful emissions from engines and is the only way of meeting the Euro6 emission standards which came into force in September 2014. It’s impossible to drive without AdBlue® – your engine will not start, and you’ll see a notification noting ‘AdBlue® is empty’. A notification will also appear when your AdBlue® tank is running low.

There were no exact European exhaust emissions standards until Euro 1 was implemented in 1993. What does AdBlue do? No, it will not damage the engine, however, its performance will be affected until you next fill up. What is the price of AdBlue per litre?The term AdBlue® is a worldwide trademark of the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) relating to DEF produced in accordance with the ISO 22241 specifications. If your diesel vehicle was registered after September 2015, it likely uses AdBlue®. Often, the model name will feature the words ‘SCR’ or ‘Blue’, and if the vehicle is produced by a European manufacturer, the use of AdBlue® technology is more likely. How long does AdBlue® last and how much AdBlue® should I use? While there are different names for AdBlue®, such as Bluedef, BlueTec and so forth, all mixes should contain the same solution of 32.5% urea and 67.5% de-ionised water. The German Association of the Automotive Industry’s AdBlue® marque can be confidently relied upon to meet these requirements, while others may not.
