AdBlue. Any tips?

Thanks very much all! I’ve figured out that around Edinburgh there are NO fuel stations that do Adblue at the pump so my best option is to buy 5/10 litres at my local Halfords and use a watering can to top it up.  
It’s all a learning curve but great fun at the same time! 

On another note.... my van has an underslung LPG tank - again, the capital of Scotland has NO fuel stations that do this at the pump, (apparently Shell had a fall out with Calor Gas and all their garages have withdrawn its sale.... Shell still advises however that they do still sell it, I had a few wasted journeys finding out the hard way!!)

The nearest filling station to me that does sell LPG at the pump is in Livingston. This makes sense of course as Knowepark Caravans are in Livingston and they have to put some in the tanks of new vehicles to test the system out and show buyers it all works, Of course a full tank of 25 litres will last me a long time so it wasn’t too much of a hardship.

Hoping that travel restrictions are lifted and COVID-19 will soon be under control so that we can all enjoy our special way of life as soon as possible. 🙏🏼

Take care all.

As Tinwheeler says re pouring it from the gallon container. The filler spout on the container is made to be a reasonably water tight fit between the AdBlue tank so that it doesn't spill everywhere ... you'd not manage to fill the tank using a watering car without spilling down the side of your vehicle. Split AdBlue will apparently crystallise. Tesco petrol stations sell AdBlue

two things....

firstly, the Fiat Ducato does not need AdBlue, Fiat engines acheive Euro 6 without this. however, you may be driving a Peugeot or Citroen based van, which looks pretty much identical to the Fiat but will have PSA engines which DO use AdBlue.

secondly, i looked up the 'duration' of a tank of AdBlue for my dad who has a new Peugeot vehicle.....around 12k miles...

for many MHers, this will be around 3-4 years mileage.

suggest you leave the topping up till service time.

good luck.
