What is AdBlue?
Many new diesel Ford vehicles, including the Everest, Transit and Transit Custom models, now require the use of a Diesel Exhaust Fluid commonly referred to as AdBlue. AdBlue is a non-toxic liquid that’s colourless in appearance and is a solution of water and urea.
You might have spotted a second, smaller filler cap next to the main filler of your diesel vehicle. If that cap is marked AdBlue, then your car is fitted with technology designed to reduce its emissions.
If you cover more kilometres than most or have a regular drive cycle with lots of short, stop start trips, you may find you need to refill your AdBlue tank in between services. You’ll be reminded in plenty of time to do this by messages on the dashboard.
Important: Your car won’t start if you fail to refill the AdBlue tank before it runs dry.
The capacity of the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (AdBlue) tank is 18L on Everest and 21L on Transit and Transit Custom. For further information, please visit the Ford AdBlue page.
Note: Not all diesel Ford vehicles use AdBlue. Speak to your local dealership for more information.
