Why do I need a special pump for AdBlue?

AdBlue corrodes copper, brass and zinc. AdBlue pumps are made of stainless steel, PP and EPDM. Contamination from diesel residues would damage the SCR system. Never run AdBlue and diesel through the same hoses.

What is the difference between a diaphragm pump and a submersible pump for AdBlue?

A diaphragm pump (SB34, HORNET) sits outside, self-priming up to 3m. A submersible pump (PIUSI SQUALO35) is immersed directly in the IBC – no suction problems, compact, low-maintenance. For IBCs a submersible pump is often more elegant; for drums a diaphragm pump is more suitable.

What flow rate do I need for cars and trucks?

Cars/vans (5–25L SCR tank): 10–20 l/min is sufficient. Trucks (40–100L): 35–57 l/min (HORNET, GRACO) for short refuelling times. PIUSI DELPHIN PRO and Suzzarablue offer an infinitely adjustable output for both applications.

What is the difference between the HORNET Light and the HORNET Standard?

The same pump unit (48 l/min, 230V). Light Basic: a 4m hose, a mounting bracket. Standard with FMT3: an electronic flow meter, an 8m hose, an A2003-KS automatic nozzle – the most complete solution for professional fleet refuelling.

Frequently asked questions about AdBlue® pumps

AdBlue® (urea solution AUS 32) is strongly corrosive towards copper, brass and zinc – materials that are common in standard diesel or oil pumps. AdBlue® pumps are made of corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel, polypropylene (PP) and EPDM. In addition, residues from diesel pumps would contaminate the AdBlue® and damage the vehicle's SCR injection system. Never run AdBlue® and diesel through the same hoses or pumps.

A diaphragm pump (SB34, HORNET) sits outside the container and draws the AdBlue® in via a suction hose – self-priming up to about 3 m, suitable for drums and IBC containers. The PIUSI SQUALO35 submersible pump is immersed directly in the IBC container – no suction problems, a compact design, low-maintenance. For IBC containers the submersible pump is often the more elegant solution; for changing drums the diaphragm pump is more suitable.

SEC (Standard Euro Coupling) is a standardised dry-coupling system for AdBlue® connections on IBC containers. No AdBlue® escapes when disconnecting – important, since AdBlue® forms crystals as it dries out and corrodes metals. Pumps with an SEC coupling (e.g. diaphragm pump SB34-IBC, HORNET W85H INOX) are particularly suitable for IBC use and enable a clean, fast container change without drip loss.

For cars and vans with small SCR tanks (5–25 L), 10–20 l/min is sufficient – a high flow rate carries the risk of splashing back. For trucks with large SCR tanks (40–100 L), 35–57 l/min (HORNET, GRACO) is more economical, since the refuelling time is considerably shorter. The PIUSI DELPHIN PRO and Suzzarablue models offer an infinitely adjustable output for both use cases.

AdBlue® crystallises as it dries out and can clog or damage pumps, hoses and nozzles. After each use: flush the hose and nozzle with clear water and let them run empty. In the event of a longer standstill (over 2 weeks), empty and flush the entire pump. In frost (below −11 °C), the pump must be emptied completely, as frozen AdBlue® can burst the pump housing.

All HORNET W85H INOX variants have the same pump unit (48 l/min, 230V, stainless steel). The differences lie in the accessories and the mounting configuration: Light Basic (€565): a stainless-steel mounting bracket, a 4 m hose, a standard nozzle. Light IBC compact: specifically for IBC containers with an SEC coupling. Standard with FMT3 (€846): with an electronic FMT3 flow meter for accurate litre recording, an 8 m hose and an A2003-KS automatic nozzle. The FMT3 model is the most complete solution for professional fleet refuelling.
