How can using low quality AdBlue cause problems?

The main problem of diesel engines is the high emissions of hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides, which negatively affects environmental performance. In addition, there is a lot of soot in the exhaust gases of old diesel engines, which enters the human respiratory system and is deposited in the lungs. AdBlue is one way to solve the environmental problem.

Why is it dangerous to use fake AdBlue?

It seems very simple - you mix urea with distilled water in the right proportion and you get AdBlue? Hard NO. This is a recipe for making a fast acting poison for your car that will knock out the SCR system in a short time. Why? Because highly purified urea is not available at retail, it's not sitting in warehouses, and it's impossible to buy. The newly chemically pure and purified urea immediately goes into action - without being stored anywhere, it immediately becomes the final product, in our case liquid AdBlue.

Technical urea, especially that used for fertiliser production, originally contains what is called an anti-caking agent, 'Uresoft' or similar, containing sodium. This anti-caking agent is necessary to ensure the preservation of mineral fertilisers made from technical urea, to prevent granules and powders from sticking together under conditions of high humidity, the presence of water and exposure to sunlight. Similar substances in smaller quantities are intended for the manufacture of household chemicals, cosmetics, paints and adhesives. Manufacturers of fake, substandard liquid reagent that only looks like AdBlue use the exact technical urea described above - alas, it is very easy to find and use, but the consequences will be irreversible.

What can the use of poor quality AdBlue lead to?

Using counterfeit chemicals instead of AdBlue threatens the SCR of a diesel engine with the following serious problems:

• Failure of the SINOX neutralizer due to liming of its matrix or irreversible
  "poisoning" of the catalyst by even a small amount of sodium compounds and
  other substances contained in the technical urea anti-caking agent;
• incorrect operation of the engine control system, occurrence of errors and
  other problems;
• reduction in engine performance, power, torque, etc;
• the occurrence of deposits in the converter cells to their blockage, leading to
  increased resistance to exhaust leakage, exhaust system failure and failure of
  the gas distribution mechanism.

It is safest to buy AdBlue from reliable sellers, such as Tsaki, who have proven themselves in the market with their quality products.
