AdBlue – a water solution of urea – is commonly used by manufacturers of vehicles with diesel engines in exhaust gas cleaning systems. The aim is to reduce the emission of harmful compounds and meet the exhaust emission standards, ie Euro 6. A large number of trucks and passenger cars with a diesel engine, equipped with the technology of reducing nitrogen oxide using AdBlue, forces the market to ensure easy availability of this substance.
The simplest and safest form of refilling the liquid from the environmental point of view is refueling at fuel distribution stations. For this reason, steel tanks for AdBlue (both underground and above-ground) are primarily dedicated to commercial fuel outlets, which allow you to refuel diesel and AdBlue during one stop. They can also be used, for example, to supply one’s own extensive fleet of vehicles at company petrol stations.
