AdBlue!!

With the last two vans I simply topped up the AdBlue tank every so often from five litre containers.

Bought in 5 litre bottles either from Home Bargains or B&M.  The problem we have been told is that it's not easy to know whether it's started to crystallise or not. Crystallising can cause problems when it's injected into the exhaust.  The problem I think is restricted to vehicles that spend a lot of time sitting about.  I might be wrong!

What we have had happen is the warning ⚠️ light coming on to say the AdBlue level was getting low. 

Rather than let it get too low we dropped into the Shell station on the westbound A14/A12 heading towards the Orwell Bridge in Suffolk.

The station has dedicated pumps. The odometer was showing 8899 miles. I put in 12 litres. 

I thought it was a bit early as we had only done 1189 miles since collecting it from the dealers. I would have expected it to be full.

Since then we have done another 1100 miles and the light is not on yet.

The Shell was an eye watering £1.786 a litre!! It's only £1 a litre at B&M.
