you can relax as you get a 5 second warning before the exahaust manifold implodes because of the lack of adblue, causing thousands of shards of super heated metal to fly at 1,000 mph in every direction inbedding themselves in the first thing they find, god forbid that hapened while you drove past a school, think of the children
How will the exhaust manifold blow up? AdBlue dosing happens further downstream of the manifold in the catalytic converter.
ive had mine extremely low,(light on for an hr or more) then put around 3-5 litres of water in, just to make the light go out on the dash, it got me 3 hrs driving back to the yard no problems. And was never a problem after.

It might surprise you how big the tanks are on your motor, I know the 18t merc axor ad blue tanks are bigger than the merc actros tractor unit adblue tanks
True, the adblue tank on my 18t Axor is 20.5 gallons.
Takes half an hour to fill on the pump at our yard, but on the plus side only needs filling every 6-8 weeks.
DAF’s seem to have tiny adblue tanks for some reason.
Since ad blue is only there to clean up your exhaust smoke, I would have thought that avoiding areas that scan your exhaust is all that is necessary to “get away with it” as even plod is unlikely to notice from a cursory visual as they drive past…

done it it works after all the majority of adblueis ammonia
You could put candy floss in the tank, and it’ll work - at first!
I hear that cows can be fed the sugary plastic compound that is made from combining ad blue with the exhuast smoke, so is that taking the ■■■■ or what?

I was under the impression that it was an end of the world situation if you ran out? Maybe not, I can live with limp mode if its only for a short time.

Naaa. The 26T Axor i swan about in will just throw an engine management light at worst but you gota be driving about for 2 days on empty first. Good mate of mine works for a Merc dealership, he said it can sometimes block the injector as the stuff cristalizes in the injector and purge system-- thats the little spit noise you hear when you turn off the engine sometimes.
I didnt have any power reduction when i ran mine out though.
Peeing in the tank will do just as good a job as ad blue
Thought it wouldn’t be long before someone came up with this one, why not just fill it with water, it will have the same effect, that is, absolutely nothing as regard to converting the harmful deposits in the exhaust fumes into less harmful vapour. Ad Blue is Urea based, that doesn’t mean it contains Urine, you have Urea in your own Urine along with other waste minerals your body doesn’t need. The Urea contained in Ad Blue isn’t from Human or Animal waste but a chemical make up along with other additives to do what it needs to do, to harmful Carbon Monoxide and Soot in exhaust particles. Putting any other liquid into your Ad Blue tank might not make a difference to the performance of the vehicle (depending which make it might be), but it will damage the Injector that is fitted to the down pipe used to inject the Ad Blue at intervals depending on engine performance and that is expensive to replace, something your Gaffer won’t appreciate! Franky.
she doesnt feel any different so lets see how we get on when i get back from my night out on sunday. its my day off tomorrow so i cant monitor anything til after my weekend
a truck that is not getting any adblue? the computer said 34 litres yesterday and i didnt fill it up. and half way through my run when i expected to lose a blue bar. and after i got back to the depot. it had to be a stuck sender unit or a problem with the adblue system. easy way to find out was to top up and see how much it took which was 6.79 litres. it hasnt been filled for 3 days and it uses around a 1/4 of a tank per day. what problems will this cause?
If its a problem with the system, in other words the injector isn’t working then you are not complying with the Euro spec your vehicle is required to under the emissions law and if the vehicle is out of warranty it might have some expensive work needed to correct the problem (nothing is cheap thesedays). Have no warning lights or error codes came up to tell you there is a problem? Only other problem is your poisening all those kids, think of the children and get it sorted!
