FORD OMNICRAFT ADBLUE® SOLUTION FOR DIESEL CARS TDCI 10 LITRES
Converting up to 80% of nitrogen oxide, AdBlue® is a high-quality solution for diesel Engines, helping to aid cleaner driving.
- An aqueous diesel exhaust fluid which consists of 32.5% urea and 67.5% demineralised water as a solvent;
- Significant component of the highly efficient selective catalytic reduction system (SCR) for cleaner driving;
- In SCR technology AdBlue® fluid is injected directly into the exhaust stream;
- In the subsequent catalytic process up to 80% of the nitrogen oxide will be converted into harmless nitrogen and water;
- Helps to reduce the environmentally harmful nitrogen oxide emissions of diesel Engines.
What is AdBlue®?
AdBlue® is a colourless, non-toxic liquid that is a solution of water and urea. It works to convert nitrogen oxide emissions in the exhaust gas of diesel engines, into nitrogen and water. A particulate filter then further reduces solid particulates from the vehicle’s exhaust emissions.
If you own a new Ford Diesel vehicle, you might have spotted a second, smaller blue coloured filler cap, just beside the main fuel filler cap. This means your car is fitted with AdBlue® technology.
Many new Ford diesel vehicles now require the use of a diesel exhaust fluid commonly referred to as AdBlue®. This fluid is automatically injected into the vehicle’s exhaust system to help reduce emissions of nitrogen oxide.
AdBlue® is stored in a separate tank which must be kept topped-up by the driver. Further information on AdBlue® can be found below, or in your vehicle Owner’s Manual.
Does my vehicle need AdBlue®?
AdBlue® is only used for keeping diesel emissions as clean as possible. However, not all new Ford diesel vehicles will require AdBlue®. If you spot a second, smaller blue coloured filler cap just beside the main fuel filler cap, your vehicle needs AdBlue®. See your Owner’s Manual or speak to your Ford Dealer to learn more.
How does AdBlue® work?
AdBlue® is automatically injected into the vehicle’s exhaust system, then works to convert nitrogen oxide exhaust gas emissions into nitrogen and water. A particulate filter then reduces solid particulates from the vehicle’s exhaust emissions.
How to top-up Adblue®
AdBlue® is stored in a separate tank which you will need to ensure is kept topped-up.
Remember! AdBlue® gets its own tank which is identified by a blue cap. Do not try to put AdBlue® directly into your fuel tank.
Look out for the AdBlue® message and warning light
If your AdBlue® level is low, a notification will appear in your vehicle’s information cluster display, and a warning light will illuminate on your dashboard.
Be advised that your diesel engine is not permitted to operate without AdBlue. Once the engine is turned off, a re-start is prevented until your AdBlue level has been refilled.
Locate the tank filler cap
The AdBlue® tank filler is located beside (or under) the diesel fuel filler cap on your Ford vehicle. The AdBlue® filler can be identified by its blue cap and will also be labelled.
Fill up using the AdBlue® container
Use your AdBlue® container to fill the AdBlue® tank. Information on capacity of your Diesel Exhaust Fluid (AdBlue) tank can be found in your Owner`s Manual.
How often do I need to top up AdBlue®?
How often you need refill your AdBlue® tank will depend on several things, including your vehicle model and engine size, your AdBlue® usage, and driving style. However, a tank of AdBlue® can usually last between 2330 miles and 6835 miles following an AdBlue® consumption between 1% and 6% of the diesel fuel consumption*.
*Figure based on average usage on a Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel for lower mileage and higher percentage and Transit 2.0L Diesel for higher mileage and lower percentage.
