AdBlue®, also known as Aus32 and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), is an additive created to neutralise the harmful exhaust emissions from diesel engines. Doing so will drastically reduce your carbon footprint and therefore contribute towards the ongoing environmental efforts.
As of 2006, it became the law that all vehicles above 7.5 tonnes are manufactured with this technology.
Unlike the additives you may have purchased to add directly to your fuel tank when refuelling. It’s an ‘after-treatment’ additive, that is to say, it’s injected into the exhaust fumes as they are being expelled from the vehicle.
It is stored in a separate storage tank away from the fuel itself, so you should ensure you’re not putting it into the diesel fuel tank, because doing so could harm your engine. If you do accidentally put it directly into your fuel tank, do not try and start your vehicle. Call a recovery service with experience in pumping out fuel tanks to prevent any damage to your vehicle.
Urea is the ‘active ingredient’ in AdBlue®, meaning it was originally manufactured from pig’s urine. More recently, a synthetic version is used, but it is the ammonia of the urea which provides the environmental benefits. The new synthetic version is colourless, non-toxic and is not actually blue at all.
A process called Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) eliminates the harmful nitrogen oxides which are a major contributor to global warming. This is done by breaking them down into water and nitrogen, which are harmless to the environment and therefore significantly reduces the environmental impact of your diesel engine‘s exhaust emissions.
