Watch the video to find out more.<\/p>\n<p>What is AdBlue?<\/p>\n<p>AdBlue\u00ae is a urea\/water-based fluid that converts NOx emissions in the exhaust gas into nitrogen and water. A particulate filter then reduces more than 99% of emitted solid particulates from your vehicle\u2019s exhaust. To operate correctly, the AdBlue\u00ae tank of your Ford EcoBlue diesel engine must be filled with AdBlue\u00ae fluid and it\u2019s important to keep the tank filled up. That\u2019s why system warnings illuminate when the fluid level becomes too low. In this video you can find out more about this innovative yet simple additive which is suitable for many Ford diesel powered vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>What is AdBlue used for?<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 It\u2019s designed to remove pollution and it\u2019s available on a wide range of Ford vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>TOP TIP: AdBlue is suitable for selected models including Transit, Focus, Mondeo, Galaxy, S-MAX and Edge vehicles. You can find more about AdBlue here <a class=\"yt-simple-endpoint style-scope yt-formatted-string\" spellcheck=\"false\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ford.co.uk\/shop\/research\/technology-cv\/performance-and-efficiency\/ford-adblue\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.ford.co.uk\/shop\/research\/&#8230;<\/a>. \u2022 This urea\/water-based fluid reduces engine emissions, so your vehicle meets current and future regulations.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 You can check the level via the trip computer.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 When the fluid\u2019s low, you\u2019ll see a warning light\/symbol on the dashboard. TOP TIP: Later models the use the ISO 7000 standard symbol.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Whichever symbol you see, please don\u2019t ignore it, because if the AdBlue tank is empty, the engine won\u2019t restart.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Refilling your vehicle with AdBlue is easy. Where to buy AdBlue from?<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 You can buy the fluid at your nearest Ford Dealer and It comes in a variety of sizes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Every container has a hose to avoid spills.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 To top up the tank, first remove the filler cap.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 On some vehicles you\u2019ll see Min and Max quantities so you can choose the right size of container to buy.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Next, fix the hose to the container.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 And use the hose to pour in the fluid.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Pour in the fluid until the tank is full.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Then replace and secure the filler cap.<\/p>\n<p>TOP TIP: On some vehicles the AdBlue Level \u2018OK\u2019 has been replaced by \u2018AdBlue Range in Km\u2019s\u2019 Make sure there\u2019s no fluid in the hose, then disconnect it and store it back into the container.<\/p>\n<p>TOP TIP: If you accidentally spill fluid onto your vehicle\u2019s paintwork, it could damage it. So make sure you clean it off immediately with soap and water. And always read the container label before use.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Two important things to remember:<\/p>\n<p>1. Never add AdBlue to the diesel tank.<\/p>\n<p>2. Never add any other fluid to the AdBlue tank. Always make sure that your AdBlue tank is free from contamination. That\u2019s all you need to know about AdBlue. But if there\u2019s anything you\u2019re not sure about, you can always refer to your Owner\u2019s Manual, or simply give us a call.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AdBlue is a diesel exhaust additive designed to remove pollution.
