Contaminated AdBlue
How can you tell if the AdBlue is tainted? When your use of AdBlue increases, you will know. It might also cause difficulties with the selective catalytic reduction system to work properly.
The worst-case scenario is that the engine completely shuts down. To avoid any potential contamination, get into the habit of regularly testing and monitoring the purity of your AdBlue tank with a digital refractometer. The AdBlue concentration should stay within the range of 32 to 37%.
When performing maintenance on your automobile, be sure to clean the tank cap area for AdBlue. Any potential irritants that enter the tank will be removed in this manner. It is also suggested that you keep a specific container for AdBlue. Even if you clean the container well, AdBlue can become contaminated if it’s stored in a similar container for other fluids.By taking this one simple step, you can avoid having to remove AdBlue unnecessary.
