[Ch4 plumbing]

Ive been told its pigs wizz but i think someone is taking the wizz!!

Its an additive that is added to diesel (seperate tank) that reduces the immissions.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

isnt it something for emission ?

 

[Ch4 plumbing]

isnt it something for emission ?

Yeah but i spell it immissions haha

My spelling is pretty rough!

 

[townfanjon]

Lol cheers , it hasnt got up yorkshire yet lol , diesel additives have been available for years but I cant see how they are connected to a seperate tank ( i stand to be corrected lol ) just run it on red diesel , loads cheaper!!

You fill it up next to the fuel, red is best if you drive a tractor.

 

[townfanjon]

Red is best , until you get caught

Think it might be a bit of a fad with all this emissions lark going about in the news.

Unless the government give me cheaper tax for it it's not something id be considering.

Yep its euro 6 before Brexit happened!

The new Transit customs run on it. Glad I purchased the last of the last model now

 

[Darren Jackson]

Have to say that I've never heard of it. Sounds like summat you put down a porta-loo.

 

[Dan]

It seems a genuine thing. Totally new to me!

What is AdBlue?

Doesn't need filling often by the looks of it. Suppose it's another light to look out for on the dash lol

 

[Harvest Fields]

The selling point is that's it lasts ages. But the truth is, it is just another cost to lay out.

Trucks & plant having been using ad blue for a while now it's moving on to vans.

 

[Shower Engineer]

I don't run a van but both my cars use AdBlu. Needed to refill after about 10,000 miles, bought it on Ebay, 20 litres delivered was about £20.00 so not too expensive.
The cars computer gives plenty of notice that you need to top it up and if you ignore it the car will refuse to start until you have!

I use about 20ltrs to 3000miles @ a cost of about £30

 

[PhoenixServices]

I run a new Transit custom, which has adblue.
I would say mine lasts about 3000 miles and I buy a 20 litre drum for £20 on eBay.

It's in Yorkshire and I've to use it with my new transit. It's for the cat 6 Diesel engines and as said is ti improve the emissions. Have to say mine has used hardly any in its first 5000 miles

 

[woodsy]

The selling point is that's it lasts ages. But the truth is, it is just another cost to lay out.

Cost is approx £10 for 10 litres and not used 5 in its first 5000 miles yet

 

[Ch4 plumbing]

Either they didnt fill mine up to the top or im using too much by the sounds of it!

Cheers gents ill look a bit deeper into it.
