AdBlue® By Container
AdBlue® Questions
-
Is there only one sort of AdBlue®?
-
How much AdBlue® will I need to use?
Your vehicle will automatically use AdBlue® at the required amount:
For commercial vehicles AdBlue® usage is typically about 5% of diesel used. So for every 100 litres of diesel that is used, you will need 5 litres of AdBlue®.
For passenger cars, the AdBlue® warning light will come on when you have about 3 litres left. AdBlue® tanks on passenger vehicles generally range between 12 and 20 litres capacity.
-
Is AdBlue® a fuel additive?
-
How long can I store AdBlue®?
For Bulk Containers (1000 litre IBC’s and Barrels), provided AdBlue® is stored at a constant ambient temperature below 25 degrees C, out of direct sunlight and in accordance with the instructions on the container it’s shelf life is 18 months.
For small pack containers (10 and 5 litre cans) if the container remains un-opened and it is stored at a constant ambient temperature below 25 degrees C, out of direct sunlight and in accordance with the instructions on the container it’s shelf life is 18 months. We do recommend that once opened the can is used in full, so as to minimise any risk of contamination potentially caused during the process of re-sealing the can and storing the spout for later use.
-
I already have an empty AdBlue® IBC container which has come from another company - can you accept this?
Unfortunately not, we are only able to accept Landowner Blue empty IBC’s as part of our ISO22241 quality assurance. If you want to order an IBC of AdBlue® from ourselves and do not have a Landowner Blue IBC to return you would need to select “First Order”; if you do have a Landowner Blue IBC to return please select “Refill”. If non Landowner IBC’s are returned we would have to invoice the £140 + VAT deposit to you.
