Adblue diesel fuel additive – what is it?
AdBlue is the registered trademark for AUS32 (Aqueous Urea Solution 32.5%) and is used in a process called Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR).

All Commercial Vehicles - Trucks, Buses & Industrial Vehicles (above 7.5 tonnes) manufactured after October 2006 are fitted with a new SCR technology (Selective Catalytic Reduction).
This technology requires vehicles to use AdBlue. It is injected into the exhaust gases of modern diesel engines as a post combustion process.
In other words, AdBlue is sprayed into the exhaust stream of Euro IV and Euro V Vehicles at a proportion of around 5% to Diesel fuel.
The AdBlue is placed in a designated AdBlue tank on the vehicle with its own gauge and sensor system. AdBlue never comes into contact with the fuel.
The purpose of this SCR process is to reduce the percentage of harmful NOx (nitrous oxide) emissions present in all diesel vehicles emissions, by breaking the NOx emissions down into mainly Nitrogen and Oxygen.
European legislation requires vehicle manufacturers to use this technology to reach the reduced levels of pollutants.
The use of AdBlue helps not only the environment by reducing the emissions created by diesel engines, but it also helps transport companies and drivers reduce fuel costs, by reducing fuel consumption.
