What is AdBlue and What Happens if You Don’t Refill It?

 

AdBlue is an environmentally friendly liquid used in diesel engines. It contains 32.5% urea and 67.5% water, working with the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system to convert harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx) in exhaust gases into water vapor and nitrogen. This helps to reduce environmental impact.

Why is AdBlue Important?

AdBlue helps control emissions in diesel engines, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and allowing the vehicle to run cleaner.

What Happens if You Don’t Refill AdBlue?

• Power Loss: Low AdBlue levels can reduce engine performance.
• Increased Emissions: Without AdBlue, harmful gases in the exhaust may increase.
• Vehicle May Stop Working: If AdBlue is too low, some vehicles may stop functioning.
• Warning Light: A warning light will appear on the dashboard when AdBlue levels are low.
• High Repair Costs: Neglecting to refill AdBlue could damage the system and lead to costly repairs.

How to Refill AdBlue?

AdBlue can be purchased from gas stations or auto service centers. Make sure to carefully add it to the correct tank.

Regularly checking and refilling AdBlue ensures your vehicle remains environmentally friendly and runs smoothly for a long time.
