Adblue; High Temperatures; Low Temperatures - Paccar DAF CF 2017 Emergency Response Manual

The capacities and position of the tanks depend
on the vehicle type.

AdBlue

AdBlue is a non-flammable, non-toxic, colourless,
odourless and water-soluble liquid.
AdBlue is a liquid consisting of 32.5% urea and
67.5% water.
AdBlue must meet the specifications according to
DIN 70070.

High temperatures

If AdBlue is heated in the tank to 50°C over a long
period of time, the decomposing AdBlue can
produce ammonia vapours. Ammonia vapours
have a pungent odour. For this reason, avoid
inhaling possible ammonia vapours escaping
when unscrewing the AdBlue filler cap. These
concentrations of ammonia vapours are neither
toxic nor hazardous to health.

Low temperatures

AdBlue freezes at temperatures of approximately
-11°C.
