AdBlue for Businesses, Fleets & Farms

Keep your diesel vehicles and machinery running with a reliable supply of AdBlue from Rix Petroleum.

We supply AdBlue for commercial fleets, HGVs, agricultural machinery and other diesel-powered equipment fitted with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems, with supply options to suit different usage requirements.

What Is AdBlue?

AdBlue is a diesel exhaust fluid used by vehicles and machinery fitted with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology.

It is made from a solution of high-purity urea and demineralised water and is stored in a separate AdBlue tank on the vehicle or machine – it is not added to the diesel fuel tank.

As the vehicle operates, AdBlue is introduced into the exhaust system, where it helps the SCR system reduce harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.

If your vehicle or machinery requires AdBlue, keeping an adequate supply available is essential to keeping it operating as intended.

How Does AdBlue Work?

  • 1. Stored Separately

    AdBlue is held in its own dedicated tank, separate from your vehicle's diesel fuel.

  • 2. Used by the SCR System

    The vehicle introduces AdBlue into the exhaust system as it operates.

  • 3. Helps Reduce NOx Emissions

    The SCR process converts harmful nitrogen oxides into less harmful substances before they leave the exhaust.

  • 4. Refill When Required

    Your vehicle or machinery will usually alert you when its AdBlue level is becoming low.

How Much AdBlue Will I Need?

The amount of AdBlue your vehicles or machinery use will depend on factors including the engine, SCR system, workload and operating conditions.

Businesses running larger fleets or machinery for long periods are naturally likely to have greater requirements than occasional users.

Rather than relying on a generic figure, monitor your actual AdBlue consumption and speak to our team about a supply option that suits your operation.

Protect the Quality of Your AdBlue

AdBlue needs to be stored correctly to help protect its quality and prevent contamination.

Use equipment and containers designed for AdBlue and keep it separate from diesel, lubricants and other fluids.

Care should also be taken when transferring AdBlue into vehicles and machinery, as contamination can affect the SCR system.

For detailed handling and storage information, always refer to the latest product guidance and Safety Data Sheet.
