Purchasing AdBlue® with Certas Energy
What exactly is this fuel additive? How do I find fuel stations with AdBlue® pumps near me? And can you buy AdBlue® on a fuel card? Keep reading for the answers you need.What is AdBlue®?
A combination of synthetic urea and deionised water, AdBlue® is a clear, colourless diesel exhaust fluid that’s added to a vehicle’s dedicated tank (identifiable by the blue cap). It’s available at the roadside at fuel stations with AdBlue® pumps and should be topped up like your fuel.What does AdBlue® do to diesel?
When you put AdBlue® in a diesel fuel tank, it reduces the levels of NOx emissions that are created during the combustion process. If you have a vehicle that’s fitted with an SCR engine, AdBlue® is a legal requirement to ensure you meet the emissions standards for Euro 5 and Euro 6 diesel engines. As air quality legislation becomes tighter, it’s likely that diesel engines will be using AdBlue® in fuel well into the future. If you’re wondering does AdBlue® affect fuel consumption, don’t worry – the two fluids don’t mix, so there’s no negative impact on your miles to the gallon. For HGVs, the average use of AdBlue® vs. diesel is around 4 to 8% – and it’s critical that you never let your AdBlue® HGV levels hit zero. Running out means you’re not compliant, which could result in large fines and also prevent your engine from starting.

There are many benefits to using a fuel card for all your fuel-related purchases, but put simply, it saves businesses time and money. For drivers, it means quicker, easier purchasing at a fuel station with an AdBlue® pump, with no complicated expenses to submit, or additional credit cards to keep track of.

For fleet managers, there’s a huge reduction in admin time, costs and resources – and it provides full visibility over all fuel expenditure.
