Avoiding issues with Adblue additive - Super Road Assistance

AdBlue is a crucial component in modern diesel vehicles equipped with Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) systems, as it helps reduce harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from the exhaust. Here's some important information on AdBlue and how to avoid problems associated with it:

1. Understanding AdBlue: - AdBlue, also known as Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) or urea, is an aqueous urea solution that is injected into the exhaust system to break down harmful NOx emissions into harmless nitrogen and water vapor. - It is stored in a separate tank in the vehicle and is injected into the exhaust system as needed to meet emissions standards.

2. Regular Top-Ups: - It's essential to keep AdBlue levels topped up regularly to ensure the SCR system functions correctly. - Consult your vehicle's handbook for information on where the AdBlue filler is located and how much AdBlue to use.

3. Monitor Mileage Countdown: - Many modern vehicles are equipped with a mileage countdown display on the dashboard that indicates how far you can drive based on the remaining AdBlue levels. - Keep an eye on this display to ensure that AdBlue doesn't run out unexpectedly. If the AdBlue tank runs empty, the engine may not start.

4. Preventing Mixing-Up Tanks: - When refilling AdBlue, take care not to confuse the AdBlue tank with the fuel tank. - Mixing AdBlue with diesel fuel or adding diesel fuel to the AdBlue tank can cause serious damage to the vehicle's systems and require costly repairs.

By following these guidelines and staying proactive in maintaining AdBlue levels, you can ensure the proper functioning of the SCR system and compliance with emissions regulations. If you have any questions or concerns about AdBlue usage in your vehicle, refer to your vehicle's handbook or consult a qualified mechanic for assistance.
