Blue Lorries

Product Information

Remember to include these additional costs when looking at AdBlue from various suppliers. How long does AdBlue last and how do I store it? Andy Kriebel wrote a blog post on this functionality here. There is a long list of Q&As in the comments which gives more information and answers to common questions. I fetched pipes from Albion concrete at Llangadog with a BMC FG IN 1968, it was only a four ton payload builders tipper, but I regularly carried six ton on it, running from Llandovery up through to Trecastle used to take forever, the lorry was only six months old, but only had a four cylinder engine. I was twenty years old. I then moved up to a Bedford TK tipper at 14 ton gross. If your AdBlue freezes when temperatures drop below -10°C, don’t worry – once it’s thawed out, it’s safe to use

I was working there when the first cargo came on a Y plate,with a V6 air cooled Deutz.An alloy body was transferred off a D series Ford and she was put to work, running shale from Merthyr Vale to Dowlais top,then running over to Vaynor quarry for roadstone used on the A470 by-pass.It had a payload of 17+ tonne, and did loook the part.I believe after the miners strike a batch of 4 were added replacing 3 D series Fords,and the last 2 road going Dodges. All commercial diesel-engine vehicles that weigh above 7.5 tonnes and vehicles manufactured after October 2006 (Euro IV and Euro V) are fitted with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology. For SCR to function – and for the vehicle to function – AdBlue must be injected into the exhaust gases as a post-combustion process. How do I know if my car uses AdBlue? The journey starts even before any of your blood is taken. It involves teams of people, fleets of vehicles and some fascinating science. It ends when the patient receives your blood, and you get that special text message. If you run out of AdBlue during your journey, it will only drive at limited engine performance. Once you switch the engine off, the lorry will not restart until you have refilled the AdBlue tank. How much AdBlue does an HGV use?

What do I do if I have spilt AdBlue fluid?

Although not hazardous, AdBlue is corrosive and can dissolve materials not listed as AdBlue proof in ISO 22241, which could cause malfunctions in your SCR catalyst.

If you suspect AdBlue contamination, you must not use the solution and dispose of safely as it can damage your enginesThe price of AdBlue for a UK business isn’t just the price of the diesel exhaust fluid itself. The cost will depend on your fleet and its consumption will depend on your vehicles and their usage. With lorries, vans, estate cars and even minibuses, the fleet is always ready to transport our collection teams and equipment to sessions, and to deliver blood, platelets, plasma and samples – using blue lights if necessary – to the hospitals and patients that need them.
