What is AdBlue^®?

AdBlue^® is a colourless, non-toxic liquid that is a solution of water and urea. It works to convert nitrogen oxide emissions in the exhaust gas of diesel engines, into nitrogen and water. A particulate filter then further reduces solid particulates from the vehicle’s exhaust emissions.

If you own a new Ford Diesel vehicle, you might have spotted a second, smaller blue coloured filler cap, just beside the main fuel filler cap. This means your car is fitted with AdBlue^® technology.

Many new Ford diesel vehicles now require the use of a diesel exhaust fluid commonly referred to as AdBlue^®. This fluid is automatically injected into the vehicle’s exhaust system to help reduce emissions of nitrogen oxide.

AdBlue^® is stored in a separate tank which must be kept topped-up by the driver. Further information on AdBlue^® can be found below, or in your vehicle Owner’s Manual.

Does my Vehicle Need AdBlue^®?

AdBlue^® is only used for keeping diesel emissions as clean as possible. All new Ford diesel vehicles will require AdBlue^®.

For all other Ford diesel vehicles: If you spot a second, smaller blue coloured filler cap just beside the main fuel filler cap, your vehicle needs AdBlue^®. See your Owner’s Manual or speak to your Ford Dealer to learn more.

How Does AdBlue^® work?

AdBlue^® is automatically injected into the vehicle’s exhaust system, then works to convert nitrogen oxide exhaust gas emissions into nitrogen and water. A particulate filter then reduces solid particulates from the vehicle’s exhaust emissions.

Where can I Buy AdBlue^®?

You can purchase refill AdBlue^® containers from your Ford Dealer, selected service and petrol stations, and most automotive retailers. Your Ford Dealer will be happy to refill your AdBlue^® tank for you the next time you come in for a service.
