CleanAirBlue Adblue 20L Can With Spout

Product Information

For information on your vehicle’s AdBlue requirements, head to the handbook. What happens if I run out of AdBlue/don’t use AdBlue? You might want to wear gloves when dispensing AdBlue to keep your hands clean but AdBlue can easily be washed off with water. It might stain any clothing though. What do I do if I have spilt AdBlue fluid? 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. 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.

As well as reducing NOx without harming engines, TotalEnergies AdBlue® also features TotalEnergies ClearNOx, an additive within the solution that cleans SCR systems, improving their cold and stop-start performance. Reducing clogging in exhaust, ClearNOx has been shown to remove the risk of clogging for up to 50,000km and reduce maintenance costs. AdBlue® is made of a colourless mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionised water (67.5%), as set out in the ISO 22242 standard. Urea contains ammonia; the active ingredient in AdBlue® that reacts with NOx and neutralises it before it enters the atmosphere.If your car is a diesel, there is a high chance it will require AdBlue®. If you’re unsure, consult your vehicle’s handbook, or search for the filler cap located next to the fuel filler, under the bonnet or in the boot of the vehicle.

AdBlue® is generally considered to reduce NOx emissions by over 90%, making it a crucial tool for improving air quality and combatting environmental issues. After exhaust gas passes through the diesel particulate filter, AdBlue® DEF is sprayed and mixed into it via a dosing control system as it enters the SCR catalytic converter. Here, the ammonia within the urea reacts with NOx in the exhaust stream, neutralising it to form harmless nitrogen (N2) and water vapour (H2O), while additionally reducing total fuel consumption by 2-6%. Since 2006 the 4 th edition (Euro 4) of the EU law regarding diesel emissions came into effect. The laws become stricter with every update and the 4 th edition made it compulsory for all new lorries to have SCR fitted on them.If your AdBlue freezes when temperatures drop below -10°C, don’t worry – once it’s thawed out, it’s safe to use
