What is AdBlue?

AdBlue is a diesel exhaust fluid used to reduce harmful emissions. It works in vehicles and machines that are equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems. When the engine is running, AdBlue is injected into the exhaust system, where it reacts with nitrogen oxides—harmful pollutants—and converts them into harmless nitrogen and steam. This process helps diesel engines meet strict environmental regulations, including Euro 6 standards in Europe.

What is AdBlue Made Of?

AdBlue is made up of 32.5% high-purity urea and 67.5% deionised water. It’s a clear, non-toxic, biodegradable fluid that is easy to handle when you’re using the right tools. It has its own separate tank on your vehicle or machine and should never be mixed directly with diesel fuel. If your AdBlue tank runs dry, most modern diesel engines will either lose power or refuse to start until it’s refilled. That’s why it’s essential to keep AdBlue levels topped up, especially for farmers, plant workers, and anyone using diesel-powered tools or transport.

To make refilling and storage simple, ParkerBrand offers high-quality AdBlue equipment built for ease and efficiency. Our 230V Wall Mounted AdBlue Fuel Pump Kit is perfect for workshops and garages.

It allows you to safely store and transport AdBlue across job sites, farms, and remote locations, ensuring your equipment or vehicle stays fuelled and emission-compliant no matter where you are - or what you're doing!
