Filling With Adblue - Volvo FM Handbook

Filling with AdBlue

AdBlue is not classed as being hazardous to the
environment but should still be handled with care.
The AdBlue tank is mounted either on the right-hand
side or left-hand side of the truck. The size of the tank
varies proportionally with the size of the fuel tank.
Filling the AdBlue tank is via local distribution tank
depots or fuel stations with a wide range of products.
For further information on AdBlue availability, visit
http://www.findAdBlue.com. Check the level in the
tank each time the truck is refueled. This is done to
ensure the amount of AdBlue is sufficient for the
planned driving distance. Do not fill the AdBluetank
with fuel; this will damage the SCRsystem.
To prevent other liquids than AdBlue being poured
into the AdBlueby mistake, the tank mouth and tank
hole are designed so that they will not accept any other
filling equipment. To further prevent any mistake in
this area, the tank cap is painted blue and is marked
with AdBlue. There is also a label on the tank warning
against filling with anything but AdBlue.
Take care not to fill the fuel tank with AdBlue when
standard filling equipment is not being used. This will
contaminate the fuel and cause AdBlue to enter the
injection system and combustion chambers, which can
damage the engine.

Note!
Filling with anything other than
AdBlue can cause problems with the
SCRsystem and light up the OBD
symbol on the instrument panel.
Caution!
Never put AdBlue into the fuel
tank. This can damage the engine
and the fuel system.
