AdBlue is a high-purity urea solution (32.5% urea, 67.5% deionized water) used in diesel vehicles with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems to reduce harmful NOx emissions by up to 90%.

What areas do you deliver to?

We deliver throughout Melbourne and greater Victoria. We're based in Dandenong and offer both bulk delivery and packaged products (IBCs and 10L bottles).

How should AdBlue be stored?

AdBlue should be stored between -11°C and 30°C in a sealed container away from direct sunlight. Proper storage maintains quality and extends shelf life to approximately 18 months.

What is the shelf life of AdBlue?

When stored correctly (sealed, away from sunlight, between -11°C and 30°C), AdBlue has a shelf life of approximately 18 months from the production date.

About AdBlue®

Understanding what AdBlue® is and how it works

What is AdBlue® and what does it do?

AdBlue® is a diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) made from 32.5% high-purity urea and 67.5% deionized water. It's injected into the exhaust system of diesel vehicles to break down harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions into harmless nitrogen and water vapor through a process called Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). It's required by law for all modern diesel vehicles in Australia to meet emissions standards.

How much AdBlue® does my vehicle use?

Typically, AdBlue® consumption is 3-6% of your diesel fuel consumption. For example, if you use 1,000 liters of diesel, you'll use approximately 30-60 liters of AdBlue®. Euro 6 vehicles tend to use slightly more (4-6%) than Euro 4/5 vehicles (3-4%). Consumption also varies based on driving conditions, load, and vehicle type.

What happens if I run out of AdBlue®?

Most vehicles will give you warnings when AdBlue® is running low (typically around 2,400km before empty). If you completely run out:

Your vehicle will enter "limp mode" with reduced power
In many vehicles, the engine will not restart once switched off
You may need roadside assistance to refill before you can drive again

Can I use any brand of AdBlue®?

You must use AdBlue® that meets ISO 22241 standards. All genuine AdBlue® is chemically identical—it's a standardized product. However, always verify ISO 22241 certification and check for VDA licensing. Avoid suspiciously cheap products or those without proper certification, as contaminated or incorrect-concentration fluid can cause expensive SCR system damage and void your warranty.

How long does AdBlue® last in storage?

AdBlue® shelf life depends on storage temperature:

10-25°C (optimal): 18 months
25-30°C: 12 months
Above 30°C: 6 months or less

Always store AdBlue® in a cool, shaded location away from direct sunlight. Check the manufacturing date on containers and use the oldest stock first.

Storage & Equipment

Questions about storing AdBlue® and equipment options

Do I need a special tank to store AdBlue®?

Yes. AdBlue® is corrosive to certain materials, so you need tanks specifically designed for AdBlue® storage. Acceptable materials include:

High-density polyethylene (HDPE)
Polypropylene (PP)
Stainless steel 304 or 316

Never use carbon steel, copper, zinc, or aluminum containers. We supply purpose-built AdBlue® storage tanks in 5,000L and 10,000L sizes.

What size storage tank do I need for my fleet?

Tank size depends on your monthly consumption and delivery frequency:

Small fleets (under 15 vehicles): 10L bottles or 1,000L IBCs
Medium fleets (15-40 vehicles): 5,000L slimline tank
Large fleets (40+ vehicles): 10,000L round tank

We can help you calculate the right size based on your diesel consumption and fleet requirements.

Do you install storage tanks and dispensing equipment?

Yes! We provide complete turnkey solutions including tank supply, delivery, installation, pumps, meters, hoses, and commissioning. Our team handles everything from site assessment and engineering design through to final testing and handover. We ensure your system meets all safety and compliance requirements.

Where should I locate my AdBlue® storage tank?

Choose a location that is:

Shaded or indoors (away from direct sunlight and heat)
Accessible for delivery trucks and vehicle refueling
On level, stable ground with proper drainage
Protected from contamination sources
Compliant with local regulations and setback requirements

What dispensing equipment do I need?

A complete dispensing system includes:

Electric or pneumatic pump (AdBlue®-compatible)
Flow meter for accurate dispensing
Chemical-resistant hose (typically 6-8 meters)
Automatic shut-off nozzle
Bunding or containment for spill protection

We supply all necessary equipment and can recommend the right setup for your operation.

Quality & Compliance

Our certifications and quality standards

Is your AdBlue® ISO 22241 certified?

Yes! All our AdBlue® meets ISO 22241 standards and we are a VDA-licensed manufacturer. Every batch is independently tested by NATA-accredited laboratories, and we provide Certificates of Analysis with each delivery showing test results and compliance verification. This ensures product quality and protects your vehicle warranties.

Do you provide Certificates of Analysis?

Yes. We provide batch-specific Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every delivery. The COA shows laboratory test results confirming the product meets ISO 22241 standards, including urea concentration, purity levels, and all required chemical parameters. Keep these certificates for your records and warranty purposes.

What is VDA licensing?

VDA (Verband der Automobilindustrie - German Association of the Automotive Industry) licensing is an additional quality certification for AdBlue® manufacturers. It involves regular independent testing, production audits, and strict quality controls beyond ISO 22241 requirements. VDA licensing gives you extra assurance of product quality and allows manufacturers to use the official "AdBlue®" trademark.

Will using your AdBlue® protect my vehicle warranty?

Yes. Because our AdBlue® is ISO 22241-certified and VDA-licensed, it meets all vehicle manufacturer requirements for warranty protection. Keep your delivery invoices and Certificates of Analysis as proof of using compliant product. Using non-certified AdBlue® can void warranty claims for SCR system repairs.
