AdBlue is a non-toxic, colorless liquid made of urea and deionized water. It’s used in diesel vehicles equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems to reduce harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by converting them into harmless nitrogen and water vapor.

No, AdBlue is not mixed with diesel fuel. It is stored in a separate tank and injected into the exhaust system of diesel vehicles as part of the emissions control process.

Most modern diesel vehicles, especially those manufactured after 2015 and fitted with SCR technology, require AdBlue. This includes cars, vans, trucks, buses, and agricultural machinery.

AdBlue consumption varies depending on driving style, vehicle type, and engine size. On average, you may use 1–2 liters per 1,000 km. Many vehicles will alert you when AdBlue levels are low.

If your AdBlue tank is empty, your vehicle may not start or may go into limp mode to reduce emissions. It’s important to refill it before it runs out to avoid disruptions.

No. Only certified AdBlue that meets ISO 22241 standards should be used. Using water or any other substance can damage the SCR system and void your vehicle warranty.

AdBlue should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ideal storage temperature is between -11°C and 30°C. It has a shelf life of up to 12 months if stored properly.

AdBlue is non-toxic and biodegradable. However, it can be corrosive to certain materials and should be handled with care. Always rinse off any spills and avoid ingestion or contact with eyes.
