Just topped it up and it’s taken about 8 litres with 1750ish miles. When I go on the trip it just says it’s ok, shame it’s not got a gauge you can check with

I seen on a Transit facebook group to avoid any AdBlue supplier with the word 'GREEN' in it. Apparently the chemical compound in it just doesn't agree with fords engines.

I always use the pumps now, always cheaper than the big bottles - even at motorway services.

Adblue is a trademark so it's the same sh*t even if the supplier has frilly piss stained pantaloons and a turnip growing out of each ear

The Ultimate, Supreme, Power Plus Adblue will improve mpg and feel like more horsepower, whilst keeping your Adblue tank nice and clean. Well worth the extra coin.
Don't use supermarket Adblue. It's made in the Far East from the urine of small furry animals, which are then killed to make the furry bit on bobble hats. It will kill your engine. It's all over Facebook.

If you don't buy your Adblue from a Ford authorised main dealer, your warranty is void anyway. My cousin had a blown brake bulb and they refused to fix it under warranty because he didn't have receipts to prove he has used genuine Ford Adblue for the last two years. A week later his engine blew up and he had to scrap the van. Now he's got a left hand drive Fiat.

It's not worth the risk.

I bet there are not many HGVs and PSVs running on premium adblue and as it’s sqerted in to the exhaust system not the engine it’s no going to help improve fuel mileage

I think (well I bloody well hope) it was his attempt at BJT style ‘humour’, sadly for him neither are remotely funny. Wishes people would stop quoting BJT’s woeful crap.
