A tank (21litres) of adblue every 3000miles +-200miles

What pisses me off is that adblue is not available from fuel pumps like normal fuel.


Mines a 2.0 170 bhp though and when I bought it ford told me it's 6000 miles to a tank

I buy it in bulk because we use it in tractors :)

This might sound stupid. But what happens when you run out of adblue.?
Warning lights, bleepers, limp home mode or just some smoke?

Engine wont start, dash advises you that adblue is low, 500 miles to no engine start.

As usual, manufacturers lie, ford even says we're supposed to achieve 35-42mpg. The best I've seen from mine is 24 mpg and thats driving with a really light right foot. The're liars and thats it.

The bit that says, "The declared fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are measured according to the technical requirements and specifications of the European Regulations (EC) 715/2007 and (EC) 692/2008 as last amended." ?
