What is AdBlue® / urea AUS32?

AdBlue® (also known as urea AUS32 or DEF – Diesel Exhaust Fluid) is an aqueous urea solution with a urea content of 32.5 %, used in the SCR catalytic converters of diesel vehicles. It converts nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen and water vapour. Since the Euro 6 standard, AdBlue® has been required in almost all diesel cars, trucks and construction machines – consumption is around 4–8 % of diesel consumption.

Stationary vs. mobile tank systems

Stationary tank systems (2,500–9,000 L) are the cost-effective solution for haulage companies, fleets and farms with their own AdBlue® demand – a lower purchase price when buying by IBC or tanker, plus your own refuelling infrastructure. Mobile tank systems (200–1,000 L, with pump and meter, on wheels or as a transport cube) are suited to construction sites, changing locations and smaller fleets.

Kingspan BlueMaster – STANDARD & PRO

Kingspan BlueMaster tanks are the best-selling stationary AdBlue® systems in Europe. BlueMaster STANDARD: a simple, robust solution without electronics. BlueMaster PRO TitanAccess: with a complete tank management system, user identification, consumption recording and an optional climate package for operation in freezing conditions – AdBlue® itself freezes at –11°C.

Special requirements for AdBlue® systems

AdBlue® is corrosive to copper, brass and zinc – all system components (pumps, hoses, fittings, nozzles) must be made of stainless steel or AdBlue®-resistant plastic (HDPE, EPDM). Lines, fittings and dispensing points must be kept separate from those for fuel. The Elafix 40 magnetic adapter for the vehicle tank prevents misfuelling.

Planning your AdBlue® supply – the right solution for your business

📦

Drum, IBC or storage tank?

Drum/IBC (200–1,000 L): a flexible solution with no dedicated system required – cost-effective for low demand. Drawback: manual decanting, higher purchase price. Mobile system (200–1,000 L with pump): drum or IBC with integrated pump and meter – for construction sites and changing locations. Stationary tank system (2,500–9,000 L): your own refuelling infrastructure, lowest purchase price when supplied by tanker – economical from around 10 trucks or 2,000 L/month.

🏥

Why a climate package for the BlueMaster PRO?

AdBlue® freezes at –11°C – in frost the entire system can freeze and dispensing can fail. The optional climate package for the Kingspan BlueMaster PRO includes heating for the tank and the pump unit, so the system works reliably even in winter. For businesses in regions with harsh winters, or for systems not installed in heated rooms, the climate package is essential.

📈

Tank management – why does it matter?

The Kingspan BlueMaster PRO TitanAccess system records every refuelling: driver ID, vehicle, quantity, timestamp. This prevents misuse, enables precise cost allocation per vehicle or department and provides reports for the fleet manager. Essential above all for haulage companies with many drivers. Data is stored locally and can be exported.

🔌

Which pump for which application?

Hand pumps: for occasional dispensing from a drum – inexpensive, no power supply needed. 12V DC pumps: for mobile systems on vehicles or construction sites – connected to the vehicle battery. 230V AC pumps: for stationary applications in the workshop or at the fleet depot. Flow rates of around 35–60 L/min are sufficient for most car/truck refuelling – trucks have AdBlue® tanks of 20–75 L.

⚠

Material compatibility – what can AdBlue® come into contact with?

AdBlue® attacks the following materials: copper, brass, zinc, galvanised steel – all parts that come into contact with AdBlue® must be made of stainless steel (V2A/V4A), HDPE, PP or EPDM. This is why all AdBlue® fittings, nozzles and pumps are specially marked and are not compatible with brass fuel fittings. ISO 22241 specifies the material requirements.

📝

Storage & shelf life of AdBlue®

AdBlue® has a shelf life of around 12–18 months when stored between 0°C and 30°C. At higher temperatures (permanently above 30°C) or in direct sunlight, the urea decomposes more quickly. A maximum storage temperature of 35°C is recommended (ISO 22241). Storage tanks should therefore preferably be installed in covered, shaded areas. The climate package protects against frost; correct siting protects against overheating.

Frequently asked questions about AdBlue® / urea AUS32

AdBlue® (also known as urea AUS32, DEF, SCR fluid) is a solution of 32.5 % urea and 67.5 % demineralised water. It is injected into the SCR catalytic converter (Selective Catalytic Reduction) of diesel vehicles and converts harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen (N₂) and water vapour (H₂O). Since the Euro 6 standard (cars from 2014, trucks from 2013), the SCR catalytic converter has been required in almost all diesel vehicles. If the vehicle runs without AdBlue®, the engine control unit automatically reduces power or prevents the engine from starting.
Consumption depends on the vehicle type and engine load. As a guide: cars and light commercial vehicles: approx. 0.5–1 litre of AdBlue® per 100 km (approx. 4–8 % of diesel consumption). Trucks and heavy commercial vehicles: approx. 2–8 litres per 100 km – depending on vehicle and load. Agricultural and construction machinery consume correspondingly more, depending on engine output. For a fleet of 20 trucks each covering 100,000 km/year, this amounts to approx. 100,000–160,000 litres of AdBlue® per year – a stationary 9,000 L tank then needs to be filled approx. 12–18 times a year.
Your own tank system pays for itself through the lower purchase price of bulk quantities. AdBlue® in an IBC (1,000 L) costs approx. 20–30 % less than in canisters, and by tanker (5,000–10,000 L) a further approx. 10–20 % less. As a rule of thumb: from a consumption of approx. 2,000 litres per month (equivalent to approx. 10–15 trucks), a stationary system pays for itself within 1–2 years. Haulage companies with their own fleet, farms and municipal vehicle fleets are the typical customers.
AdBlue® freezes at –11°C – considerably warmer than diesel (–25°C to –35°C). On cold winter days, an unprotected outdoor system can freeze and fail. Once thawed, AdBlue® can still be used – its quality is not affected. Protection against frost: Kingspan BlueMaster PRO with climate package (tank heating and pump heating), installation in heated rooms, covering the lines, or draining the pipework overnight. On the vehicle side: modern vehicles have their own AdBlue® tank heating.
This causes serious damage: diesel in the AdBlue® tank destroys the SCR catalytic converter and the injection system – repair costs are typically €5,000–15,000. Conversely, small amounts of AdBlue® in the diesel tank cause less damage, but can clog the fuel filter and lead to corrosion. To prevent mix-ups: the Elaflex Elafix 40 magnetic adapter for the vehicle tank (the AdBlue® filler neck is magnetically secured), separate colour-coded nozzles (blue for AdBlue®) and physically separate refuelling points. ISO 22241 requires measures to prevent mix-ups.
AdBlue® (urea AUS32) is not a hazardous substance under the German Hazardous Substances Ordinance (Gefahrstoffverordnung) and not a substance hazardous to water under the AwSV – unlike diesel and heating oil. As a result, no special official permits or WHG inspections are required for AdBlue® storage tanks. General installation rules still apply: no direct sunlight above 35°C, no frost without a climate package, installation on a level surface, access for filling by tanker. For larger systems, we recommend consulting the local building authority.
