Adblue Fuel Additive?

[EDDIE51]

My local garage 20 litre packs of this on on offer , is it any good ? What does it do?

Adblue is for LGV trucks with a separate Adblue tank, it mixes with the Diesel and lowers the emissions. It is made from pigs urine or something like that.

No use for my car then!

None at all, Eddie.

Eddie, every 4th fill I use wynns Injector cleaner, each MOT C/O on my car for it's age, spot on, regular oil drops + filters are the answer to a good running / serviced car

My son's Mercedes ML has a separate filler for some blue stuff. Is that the same?

Its NOT a fuel additive. For Gods sake, don't put it in your tank!!!
It is supposed to clean the exhaust, but to be honest most trucks can pass the emissions tests without it, but the EU says we have to use...otherwise lots of warning lights come up on the dashboard and the engine goes into limp mode. I get mine in 210 litre drums and its works out about 40p/litre +Vat. I bet a 20 litre can works out best part of £1 a litre. For info, I do about 1500km a week and use about 15 litres AdBlue a week.

As far as I know Arrods, no car uses AdBlue. Also, it isn't blue! Its clear.
