AdBlue Container FAQs
What is AdBlue and why does it need special storage?
AdBlue is a high-quality solution used in diesel vehicles with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems to reduce harmful emissions. It’s crucial to store AdBlue correctly because it’s sensitive to contamination and temperature fluctuations, which can degrade its quality and render it ineffective.
What type of container should i use for storing AdBlue?
Always store AdBlue in its original container or a dedicated AdBlue container made from compatible materials like high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Avoid metal containers, as AdBlue can be corrosive to some metals.
Where is the best place to store AdBlue?
Store AdBlue in a cool, dry, and ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ideally, the storage temperature should be between -10°C and +30°C. Avoid storing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the urea to decompose.
Can AdBlue be stored in any temperature?
While AdBlue can withstand a range of temperatures, extreme temperatures can affect its quality. Avoid freezing if possible, as this can cause the AdBlue to crystallize. High temperatures can also degrade the product. Storing it within the recommended temperature range is crucial for maintaining its effectiveness.
