AdBlue® is an exhaust fluid that has its separate tank and is stored completely separated from the vehicle’s fuel.

To be precise, AdBlue® is urea in liquid form. It is composed of 67.5% ionised water and 32.5 % urea. When the engine is heated up, the AdBlue® fluid also heats up and releases ammonia which acts as the catalyst. The released ammonia reacts chemically and converts nitrogen oxide into water and nitrogen which are two absolutely harmless substances. These are then ousted as exhaust gases, reducing the pollution caused by diesel automobiles.

You should always get AdBlue® topped up whenever you get your vehicle for servicing, and you might require to top it up once or twice between the services. Usually, the vehicles have indicators and blue colored cap for you to know where this fluid is supposed to go, however, it would be much better if you refer to the vehicle’s manual, and also understand the features while buying it.

The most effective way to reduce Nox emissions from diesel cars is the usage of AdBlue® in their engine. You will see a warning sign if the level of your AdBlue® decreases on the dashboard of your car. This indicates the time to fuel up the engine with pure AdBlue®. Make sure it will not run out completely or else your car will not start again. Once you refuel it with AdBlue®, it will get its original performance again. You can easily store AdBlue® as it is non-inflammable.
