Adblue use

Postby RWG Contracts » Fri Dec 09, 2016 9:46 pm

Does anyone have an Adblue van? I have a L3 H3 with the 170 bhp engine, and it's using a tank of adblue every 2000 miles, when ford said it should be every 6000 miles, it keeps going back to ford and they keep "fixing" it but no improvement.

So what I wanted to know how much is everyone else's using?

Thank you

Euro 6 2.2 155bhp 2015

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

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

There is no 2.2 155ps euro 6.

All euro6 are the new 2.0

My work has a large tank that's topped up by tanker as we've got about 30 trucks that take adblue

I think you could have the 2.2 as euro6 spec, Fiat Ducato doesn't have to use adblue
