What is special about Adblue?

What happens if a heavy duty engine runs without AdBlue?
This will result in crossing the allowed emission levels, for the diesel engine runs in a fuel optimized way, which has a negative impact on the NOx emission. For that reason sensors are placed in the exhaust pipe to measure the NOx emission. The measurement results are stored in the OBD-system (On Board Diagnostic) and are periodically controlled.

Can diesel be mistaken for AdBlue?
To prevent this from occuring, measurments have been implemented on the interface between the AdBlue tank and the fuel pump nozzle. The diameter of the AdBlue fuel pump nozzle is smaller than for the diesel. This prevents diesel being filled into the AdBlue tank.


What materials are suitable for use with AdBlue and which are unsuited?
Plastics and stainless steels do not cause any problems. Strickly avoid contact with copper, zinc and mostly Aluminium. AdBlue contaminated with these elements damages the catalyst.
